The Artella Staff has voted on their favorite post for Blog Topic #8, on the topic of "And the Oscar Goes to..." - Tonight the Academy Awards for film are televised.  Now it's your turn --- who would YOU give a fancy statue award to, if you could?  And what would it be for?  As always, feel free to interpret this in any way you'd like.

 
The Artella Staff has selected two winners - a post by non-Artella staff, and an "in-house" favorite post by a staff colleague.  Both winning posts win the prize of their choice of enrollment in one of the following e-courses: The Gratitude Garland, Artsy Envel-Hopes, or Miracle Soup.

The favorite posts are:

- "Copper Cat", for this post in her blog "There's Always Hope".  Here are a few comments about her post from Artella staff Members:

This author tried something new and a little risky in the blog entry. Applause for 'stepping out and forward' !

What a marvelous display of facetious feline creativi-tea! Great fun, well done!

This was a creative way to approach the topic - very fun - celebrating so many of Artella's celebrities!

- The favorite staff post goes to Constance, for this post in her blog "The Bates MoTELLA".   Here are a few comments about her post from Artella staff Members:

I liked this post because it carries a deeper message with a profound truth about the true meaning of beauty and innocence that we lose, but may still chose to (at least try to) recapture some of it as adults.

Fanciful and fun -- Constance reminds me that children do not miss out on life!

Funny, sweet, heart-warming, well-told story.
 

Congratulations to you both!

Actually, one or two laughs didn't cut it....think I managed at least half a dozen!  By the way, is it Oscar the Cat doing the presenting at the Gala?

Must be Oscar! ...he's my competitor, because I was hosting "This Magic Moment" and he's hosting the Academy Awards. Just couldn't resist - wanted to put a little spin on things!
