This is how Eve reacted this morning to the news that Gingerpixel has been nominated for an Irish Blog Award in four categories:
Best Photoblog
Best Personal Blog
Best Designed Blog
Most Humorous Post (for the Garda Prank Call)
Thank you so much if you nominated me and if you want to check out all the nominees then Jason Roe has the full list over at his site. The finalists in each category will be decided based on how many votes they receive from the voting public (and if I might say, what a gorgeous bunch you are…is that a new haircut?) so I need your votes! It’s one vote per person per category so if you, and the members of your extended family, like my blog please cast your vote HERE. Oh, and just to clear up a misunderstanding from the previous round, you don’t have to be Irish to vote!
Voting ends on February the 16th at 5pm GMT, that’s next Friday, so don’t delay…
…because you don’t want this face on your conscience now do you?

Excellent! Blatent use of a innocent child for marketing. Always works!
Good luck. I’m still getting over the shock of a few nominations myself.
Well deserved nominations John, I’ve really enjoyed your blogging this past year. You have a knack of putting into words just how I’m feeling about things that are going on. Good luck!
You’ve got my votes! I love looking at your blog Claire. And I must say, that Eve is something else. She looks like so much fun! Any plans for another yet? Just wondering!
Love you…flee
She’s great fun, I really enjoy her. As for another one…well, let’s just say it’s not completely out of the question 🙂
beautiful shots! especially bottom left. might work in your favour 😉
I’ve voted for you – best of luck!
Aw, look at that little face. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who used something other than my actual blog to garner votes. You used your first-born, I used my enormous bosoms…let the best…marketing trick win!
Seriously though, good luck and hope to see you again on the night.
[…] vote for me vote for ME! Its that time of year again, for the 2nd time. Voting has begun for the Irish Blog Awards, and those nominated are using a variety of tactics to get through to the shortlist. Theres the The negative approach, the prepared, shock, the cleavage, helping others, pleading, singing, honest, subtle, animated, non-existent, pity, stunned, grateful, child marketing, the cynical, and lots more begging.

Hi Claire,
Four nominations is recognition indeed. I’m delighted to see that one of my favourite blogs is known to the wider community. Such talent deserves to be seen blooming.
You have a true eye for the picture that expresses delicate emotions with great clarity.
Congrats.
I’d vote for you but as my nominations didn’t work I’ll not be voting. I’m working out how to spoil my vote 🙂
Phil and Karen: Hey all’s fair in love and politics, you’ve got to use whatever means are at your disposal 🙂
Aphrodite: Congratulations on your nominations, I voted for you guys too!
Omani: Thank you, that’s a wonderful compliment. I was happy to see the post of yours that I nominated got through to the long list. Have you decided whether you’ll be going along yet?
Cybez: Well, it’s the thought that counts so thanks! Sorry your nomination was a victim of the culling but I have to sympathise with Damien having to make some kind of decision on the overwhelming number of nominations. I stayed up until the wee hours reading the ones that did get through!
Oh, what a surprise… what a lovely surprise… it was you who nominated that post of mine that made it on to the long list! Wow, I didn’t know that. Now I like that post much more.
I’m slowly inching towards commitment… to being there for the Awards night. But I feel I’ll find it all a bit too exciting for me… and I’ll be like a child with too many presents around me…
also I already have a mental & emotional picture of certain people, do I really want an exposure to reality?
Discuss in 1000 words please, Omani.
I voted for you!! 🙂 Eve is a cutie.
Hi Melinda!
Thank you so much for the vote, and I think she’s pretty cute too…most of the time 😉
Omani, I thought that post was really beautiful. I think your posting of late has been so great that I wanted to choose one that summed them all up. I hope you’ll come along on the night, although I can understand why you wouldn’t. It puts a different spin on things once names are put to faces.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you for saying that about my recent posts. Sometimes I read back over them and can hardly believe I wrote them. They seem to have come from a place that isn’t within my control.
It looks as if I will make it to the Awards: I’m drawn to Dublin by an almost irresistible surge of nostalgia and urge for focaccia…
The faces I imagine can’t be all that much more interesting …
