"Hi J.R.,

I am pleased to announce that your web site, "Bearclover.net" has won the iNet Bronze Award! Congratulations!

The iNet Award is not an easy award to win at any level. An applicant must score 5 skills out of 5 in order to collect each of the i's. There is not a lot of margin for error. Winning the iNet at any level is quite an accomplishment. Here's how your scores are broken down:

iMagination: 4/5
iNterest: 5/5
iNtuitiveness: N/A
iNteractivity: 4/5
iNgenuity: 5/5

iBonus: 4/4

Award Earned: Bronze

Our only question after visiting your wonderful site was ... why didn't she think it was iNtuitive? (You didn't include that "i" on your list) We found it to be most intuitive, interesting and fun. Your content is written with a great sense of humor and love for your subject(s) that is contagious. One can't leave your site without feeling extremely good about themselves. You certainly have a a way with the written word. (Oh ... and your photos and art ain't bad either! :-)) Your tutorials, backgrounds and, of course, your wonderful awards program certainly give something back to the Web Community and are most appreciated. We congratulate you on a job well done and look forward to seeing more of your wonderful work in the future (including an upgrade try!)"

Oh my gosh. Thank you so much! Bless your heart!

Congratulations! It gives me great pleasure to announce your website Bearclover.net has won the BTDESIGN BEST SITE AWARD!
 
I had a real great time visiting your site and I thank you very much for your invitation. Your site is so rich in great content and I really enjoyed every part of it. Your pottery is great (I live in Faenza, which is one of the world's most important pottery and ceramics centers!) and your portraits too.
 
I cannot say how much I enjoyed the trip to Yosemite. Your descriptions and photos were so lively I seemed to be there for real, trying not to let the bears destroying my car! *g*
 
Your site shows how much you love nature and beauty and I think it is really a resource to recommend."
