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!

    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! :)

    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!

    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.
