Irish Blog Awards 2008

I’m stumbling off to my bed, and I promise I will post more about the awards and the pre-award events (with some photos of course) tomorrow when I’ve had a few hours sleep. But, I wanted to say that I’m thrilled to pieces and still a little bit stunned that gingerpixel won Best Photo Blog! How mad is that?! I couldn’t go to my bed without saying thank you to anyone who nominated me and to the judges who voted for me, oh and of course to Damien who made it all happen! What a night!

Congratulations! I’m new to the blogging thing and was amazed and inspired by you lot tonight. Well done and I look forward to reading more of what you have to say.

Hey Claire,

Just wanted to say a big congrats to you, aside from a personal interest in Best Group Blog, Photoblog is the important one for me, and you are a most deserving winner. Keep up the good work, and pat on the back for you! πŸ™‚

Congratulations, and am looking forward to seeing the photos from the Awards.

Well done again Claire on a well deserved win. It was also great to finally meet up with you and I do hope we can all meet up again soon.

The photobloggers as usual were one of the last groups to head for home, go photos!

Well Claire,I said It will between you and RedMum(how did she do?).

On a personal note its great to see an inspirational teacher as your self win the award, was Masiydotes there?

I reckon you will have a right head today πŸ™‚

Excellent! I knew it would happen sooner or later. Sorry I wasn’t there to cheer you this year. Congratulations Claire, well deserved, you’ve been my photographic inspiration in recent years.

Thanks a million everyone! I’m still a little bit shell-shocked but delighted with it.

Maurice, no, Maiseydotes didn’t make it unfortunately.

WOW Claire, I am not surprised and a really big Congrats to you. Totally deserved.

As Maurice said, inspirational teacher πŸ™‚

Imagine my surprise when I opened my Irish Times to find the typically IT pithy headline, “Irish Blog Awards in fully merited award shocker!”

The equally catchy sub-header “Gingerpixel expresses surprise despite her being more of a racing cert than that Russian bloke what has just taken over from Putin”

Well done. Well deserved. Well Pleased.

Without you guys all commenting and egging me on I wouldn’t have managed it so thanks again! Paige, one of these years you’re going to have to come along! And John, you were missed, sorry you didn’t make it.
