Hi Smarty Pants!!!
Excited about the 2012 Awards and the whole voting process. I would love to participate and pass on the info to my fan base via my blog and website; however, I don’t see a specific category for my field. I am a home based residential Interior Designer. I outsource all residential materials and furnishings for my clients while providing superior design services for my clients. Wait, they are supposed to brag about me, not me – about me, right?:-) Anyway, I can’t wait for them to toot my horn – but I need to know if I qualify. Can I list under category 34: Best kids furniture/ decorating store?
Please hurry! I can’t wait to start spreading the word! Luv your site by the way – too adorable!!!
