I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.

This is a quote from one of my favorite actresses, Julie Walters. LOVE HER! That being said, it doesn't hurt to be recognized for your achievements every now and then, or at least once a year. Last Thursday, ASID Georgia held their annual Design Excellence Awards banquet. Having attended a few of these, I have to say that it was one of the better awards events that ASID has put together. OK, I confess... I was on the planning committee. Congratulations to my fellow committee members, Chris Socci, Andrew Harris, Crystal Aitken, Erin Boden, Justin Caldwell Childers, Susan Currie, Jennifer Dixon, Joanna Hebb, Kerry Howard, Matt McBride, James Molinaro, Hillarie Robbins and Judy Talley for all their hard work. It really paid off. I heartily recommend entering projects that you are particularly proud of for all ASID designers. And, for those of you out there looking for a designer, don't overlook these Kudos when making your decision. Did I mention that The Design Yogi and Yogini were awarded a Gold? See Lakeside Townhome on my website. Also garnering honors that evening were alumni from The Design Yogi's first interior design home, Mark Williams and Karen Hott. I also want to congratulate Big Daddy - Design Star - Kerry Howard who served on the planning committee with me for his award. Well I guess it's back into humility mode until this time next year (maybe).
