Yesterday I announced the 2011 winner of our 6 word memoir contest and - wow- did it ever strike a nerve! Mostly, so many of you felt the memoir could have been your own for 2011:
To find my passion, I looked.
And when Lauri, our winning author, saw her memoir posted- she sent the following note about the basis for her memoir-
"This really is not just a collection of words...here is the back story. I've been building a successful career as an architect, but after a 20 year hiatus, started throwing pots again. I am obsessed, obsessive and passionate about it...just ask the husband. We often know all along what our passion is, but are busy and forget to look. "
Well, isn't that one more love story?? I asked Lauri if she would send some pic's to show everyone. And here they are below! Yes, there are some days at Tile Envy when it's just a little more than a slice of goodness...

So who really won this contest- Lauri or all of us!!? Thanks so much to everyone for another great year of amazing conversations.
