PCG NEWS!

Well, the votes have been tallied and the winner is in and it is...... NOT ME! Sorry, I couldn't resist! The PCG Idol is Nancy Cienfuegos. I guess you can call the rest of us runner ups! :-) If you've been watching the competition, you know Nancy did amazing work! She has such a clean creative style. I can see why people chose her! So CONGRATS to her! You might wonder if deep down inside I am bummed. Not really. I gave it my all and I actually learned through all your comments that I have a lot more blog friends than I ever imagined. {{{{{Did you feel that big hug?}}}}} I am really blessed. I've won something far greater than a contest! I get to "keep" all of you! :-)

Thanks for everything guys!!

Congrats to Nancy on winning. Julie you put heart, soul, and lots of time into this, it was a huge commitment for you and that in itself is a huge thing. Then of course there was all that talent and creativity you put out there, WOW! And last but not least....you gave us all the chance to participate in an idol Challenge and that was fun. You will always be a winner in my books chickie!
