(An emotional winner, Mimi Juneau thanks her supporters for their votes.)
“Oh my god, I’m so glad I don’t have to do this in voice. I’m in REAL tears now. I want to thank ALL my friends who voted for me. I read a bunch of such sweet comments on the website – it warmed my heart, guys !! I love you all !
I never thought a little reseller like myself made any difference, especially amongst all those very famous people – like Robustus, Rusch, Saffia, Dakota, Sachi, Vette and all the others I don’t know yet. I admire them very much !
A special thank you to all the creators I work with and who became my best friends – those like Bax Coen, traveller Bade, ziamela Loon, swaffette Firefly, Clio Cardiff, Thera Taurog, Anubis, bianca Foulon, Elettra Gausman, Unique moonsoo, Yelmer Pfeffer, Pidria Bonetto, Eponymous Trenchmouth and so many more! Thanks for your trust in me and a special thanks to my dear friends Dean Ashby and Emilia Redgrave for their support!
And last but not least, I want to thank the people of SLentrepreneur who wrote about me and my house this year! You guys rock! Happy Holidays to all of you!”
