		<description>As a newby blogger, I am flattered that you put me on your awards list! It is very encouraging -- especially from someone whose blog is as fine as yours. There&#039;s always something good to read here! Congratulations on your anniversary!</description>

		<description>Happy Anniversary, Tess. I think it&#039;s about my 7 month anniversary of reading you. Every since I found A&amp;M last July (?) you&#039;ve been a favourite and first-read-in-the-morning blog.

Thank you for the badge of honour for Closely Observed. I feel more like my &quot;E&quot; is earned for enthusiasm rather than excellence, especially when I look at the other gifted writers in your list, but I appreciate the award.</description>

		<description>Tess, I am honored to have been included in your list.  And the company is quite rarified too.  The greatest honor of all though, has been getting to know you both on and off blog in this last year.  Thanks for your friendship and continued inspiration.  I can&#039;t even beging to tell you how much I think you rock.
Cheers</description>

		<description>Thanks everyone, it&#039;s such FUN!
And Lucy (Diamonds), as for you, I thought it was time for you to move over and let Lucy (Creates) get a bit of the limelight. You know, be encouraging and mature about these things!! Just go and give yourself a stiff talking to.</description>

		<description>o.k. i had goosebumps when i read you were to meet a friend in paris...it&#039;s me!  yipppeee!!!!  and then i read along and saw that you had nominated &#039;lucy creates&#039; for this excellent award.  i am truly honored both for the award and to be one of your excellent bloggy--soon-to-meet-in-person--friends!!

i must admit, however, that my original lucy (diamonds) is now having a conversation with the newcomer (creates) to see why &quot;she&quot; got the award that in the past has gone to diamonds :-)  i am so psychotic sometimes...it&#039;s a good thing i&#039;m a therapist :-)

congratulations on one year here...we did meet earlier at another place, correct?  xoxoxox</description>
