Un Moment de Joie



So excited to receive an email from Bee of jugalbandi this morning. And the way she put the message across was so intriguing - saying something like "there 's something for you at jugalbandi. congrats!!! Wow, I was holding my breath.

When I was on that page, tick... tock... tick... tock.... could hear my heart pound. A few scrolls down I found my picture "Rich Chocolate Cupcakes" winning the third place of Click Spectra-the best capture and the first place for Click Delish-the most drool-worthy. Hmm awesome! I was stunned and ... happy.

And of course relieved too - my work was being recognized. Maybe this happened to every single blogger who won something for the first time. Sitting in front of my computer I felt so invigorated and totally restless: I wanted to do more, better, sooner.... maybe tonight, bake or cook, and shoot something great!

So this was what I did next...
