WOO HOO!! This little blog got picked to be a finalist in the “Best New Blog” Category for the 2011 Bloggies!! It is obviously an honor to be nominated (which I am pretty sure happened internally…) and chosen a finalist (which did not…), but now, I am asking for 2 minutes of your precious precious time to vote for “The World According to Curly Girl” to win our category. I just love winning things!
I don't even know if there is a prize, but it would be a fantastic and fancy little feather in my cap for this new adventure and I would be ever so grateful.
It's not even a pain in the butt to do! Just go to the Bloggies website here, scroll down to “Best New Weblog” Category, (it looks like this:)
and click on “The World According to Curly Girl” (not the “Curvy Girl Guide…though, I almost did that on accident). Fill in your email address info at the bottom and send it off! They will confirm your ballot by email, so check your email immediately after and confirm and you are done!! Voila! You have helped a sister out!
So far as I can tell you only have to vote for one category, but if you are feeling giving, you could also vote for my friend Maryam's blog in the “Best African Blog” category…her blog is called: “My Marrakesh” and is lovely and amazing. I promise.
I really really really appreciate your efforts and promise to reward you with thrilling (or at least amusing) content, art and musings for as long as my little fingers can type! Have a wonderful weekend and stay tuned for 'before' pics of big Marmalade, a new sponsor spotlight, and some sweet St.Valentines ideas next week!! Stay warm, and keep a hold of both mittens! It's so annoying to lose just one.

I happened upon your blog a few weeks prior to Christmas & read it all the way through & of course now come back for a visit almost daily.
You are inspiring.
Such a lovely person.
I voted for your blog & wish you much success!

totally voted for you, leigh. your blog has been nothing short of a spark in my 2010 and i can’t wait to see what clever (& quirky) inspiration 2011 will hold in this space!
happy moving and happy feathers in your cap! {made me think of marla kalman instantly, because she’s a) an amazing illustrator b) love hats of all kinds and c) can draw/color a feather like its nobody’s business!)
