With giddy excitement and a big beam I learn that I have become a finalist in the Irish Blog Awards 2012 Never before in the finals of anything I have mixed feelings! But hey I am rising to this unexpected challenge, crawling out of my safe little burrow and taking all my own advice about living life for the day!
You can check out all the Finalists and the three entrepreneurial women Amanda, Beatrice and Lorna who organised the Awards, must have been so much work…..
