Just so you know: Twelve22 might be down for a little bit sometime in the future. We're now renting the penthouse in our building (so we can sell our current flat), and that means that the magic internet fibres will have to be rerouted from the first floor up to the fifth. Since the site is hosted on one of our machines, and it will have to actually be in a lift at some point, making the journey from old to new flat, you can expect to be twelve22-less for a little while.
Also, there's electricity in our water pipes (wha?), so the man coming out to fix that may have to turn the power off.
Also, I'm going to be in Bournemouth overnight, as we're shortlisted for the Small Publisher of the Year award. Will we win? Probably not. But we have to put on frocks and schmooze anyway.
good luck! i'm sure you'll win, and even if you don't, you'll have lots of fun!

What's sad is that nobody out in Internetland will get to see what Anna looks like in the dress she's wearing to the awards thingie. Unless someone, maybe the mermaid princess, takes some pictures. So you should all hope that there are pictures because otherwise you'll really be missing out on fancy glamourousness.

Electricity in your water pipes? Well as long as you never touch any faucets, drains, sinks, toilets, showerheads, bathtub, floor, walls, windows or ceilings in your flat you should be perfectly safe.

I sure would like to see Fancy Glamour Anna. I sure hope that the Mermaid Princess takes a picture or two.

Good luck with the move and the nomination! So exciting! And be careful with that electricity-in-water thing (that doesn't sound good, whatever it is). Have fun!

Electricity in the water pipes? Can that happen?!
Good luck with the award! I would like to see that dress. :)))
Hope you'll be back to posting soon...
P.S. The cards with the birds are adorable!!
