So I am hoping that your Thanksgiving holiday found you well fed and well-loved. And if you did venture out yesterday for Black Friday that you scored some amazing deals and not too worse for the wear. Did I also mention you look pretty today ……
The reason for all the sweet talking? Well once again I am asking for your help to win something. The editors over at CA Home + Design Magazine have this strange notion that I know a thing or two about style and design, so they nominated me for their 2014 Design Tastemaker Award! I also with 29 other amazing, talented and design-savvy individuals throughout California are up for this prestigious award. Yes, I am competing against 29 other people for one award, so this is where I need your support. From now through 5pm Monday (12/2) I would love, appreciate and desperately want you to vote for me (#28) on the list …..
Voting literally takes 30 seconds — click on #28, input your email and you are done.
Here is the important part – you can vote once a day through 5pm PST on Monday, so that is 3 votes from each of you. Each of you made it possible for me to win the trip to London and this could be a culmination to a simply amazing year. The winner receives not only the accolade of 2014 Design Tastemaker but also a feature in the print issue of CA Home + Design! A print feature about the business in a major publication is something I have dreamed about and I can’t fathom what this kind of PR would do for exposing a broader audience to my work.
And it’s all in my grasp but I can’t do it without each of you. Let me stress that each and every vote is important. For those of you who don’t remember from the Modenus contest, I won by less than 20 votes so don’t think that your vote won’t matter because it does!
On a final note, I again want to say thank you. Thank you for your support, encouragement and motivation. This blog has brought me so many opportunities that I never thought I would have or experience. I take none of it for granted. Even if I don’t win (but I really do!) I have hit the jackpot with friends, work, new colleagues and fantastic readers.
So unless you want to see a pic of me on my knees pleading (which I am not above doing), please go vote! THANK YOU!
Check out my online Christmas shop at Joy & Revelry. Also find me on Pinterest, Twitter and Insta.gram if you are in the mood for more musings on design, food and just plain randomness.
