Feelin' the Love ~ Thank You

I told my hubby that I've felt like a "Bead Politician" the last few days. I've been campaigning for your votes to become a Bead Star.
I am so overwhelmed by the words, support & votes from family, friends, blog friends & complete strangers I've met along the way. I think things really started sinking in Thursday night. I couldn't sleep as I thought of local friends here in Dover telling me they'll miss me next year. I have friends that had all their family members & friends vote for me. One of my sister's friends worked as a jewelry photographer for HSN & sent her some great advice to pass on to me. I have all sorts of new people visiting my blog & leaving such nice comments. I have blog friends that did a post to vote for me. I completely feel like a winner with all this love around me. Thank you!
