How blessed am I to celebrate the birthdays of three little granddaughters in one of my favorite months of the year! This year our November babies will be turning 7, 2 and 1 and we will have our fill of cake and ice cream in the space of one week. I love you, my little birthday girlies! Happiest Birthday! Huzzah!

I was happily surprised to find out tonight that this design won the NAPP News / Layers Magazine "Get Your Twitter On" contest for a Twitter profile page design/redesign. Out of 40+ entries, mine was chosen for the first place prize. Funny thing is, at the last minute I almost didn't submit my entry because I was never quite pleased with it (for one, I never got the rays radiating from the right point). And, seriously, my face was turning red as I hit the submit button, knowing the NAPP guys would actually look at it. But I went ahead and submitted anyway and learned the good news tonight. Honestly, I'm sure it was not so much the design or technique as it was simply the idea of the beloved fail whale swimming in my espresso that appealed to the judges. ;-)
And, drumroll please... my prizes are... a copy of Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS3 for Digital Photographers training DVD and a copy of Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop's Most Powerful Feature by Matt Kloskowski. How cool is that?! :-)
