I am displaying this with pride. There are a lot of you in J-land who can't! Nanny, nanny, boo-boo.
Even though I was not nominated for a VIVI Award this year, I do want to thank Terra, again, for her kind recognition of my journal in this week's Guest Editor Pick. (I keep telling myself the reason I did not get a nomination was because my journal was only two months old when the nominations started. If I find out another journal was "younger" than mine and still got a nod, I am going to be really bummed out. Just don't let me find out!!)
****************************************************
Here are the top 8 things I like about being a Guest Editor's pick. (Hey, it's late and I don't have David Letterman's staff.)
8. There is no preparation necessary when you are picked. You can just sit there and be yourself.
7. You do not have any pressure to write a clever entry worthy of national scrutiny.
6. You do not have to hunt for a bunch of URLs of other people's journals.
5. You don't know it is coming so you do not have time to get giddy and post an embarrassing entry.
4. Lots of people come visit your journal that would not have seen it otherwise.
3. You learn about a lot of other journals that are new to you.
2. You will always be in the AOL Editor Picks archives.
And, the #1 reason I like being featured as a Guest Editor's Pick is ....
You don't have to post a picture of yourself that keeps flashing on the screen all day, every day for a week.

Congrats, nice job!

Two months old ? You have a good excuse. I've been here for a year and a half! Bottom line is, I have met some great people, which has been reward enough ( although I wouldn't turn my nose up at one, if the opportunity presented itself ! ) I don't know how I found myself here , but I really enjoyed my visit. I loved the pic of you and the other journaling gals getting together. I have been trying to think of a way to get some kind of journaling gathering organized. Not an easy task, seeing as how we are so spread out, but some people had expressed interest in it in the past. Now, wouldn't that be fun ?? Tina http://journals.aol.com/onemoretina/Ridealongwithme
I hope you know how much I love your journal!
Hugs,
