I have had many surprises in my life that will always be with me...and being granted the status of Featured Artist here on TSR is certainly one I will always cherish and remember!

I don't really have the words to express how proud I feel today! Thank you all so VERY much for your kindness, support, and wonderful compliments that just made me want to build more and more. I am stunned, happy, excited, REALLY nervous, and extremely thrilled! Oh my goodness!!!! *Happy dance!*

Thank you to Steve, Thomas, and all the staff at TSR for their help, and for the honor I am being given today. I shall certainly work hard and try to do my very best...after all, just LOOK at all the talent around this place?! Yeah...no pressure here. LOL!

Thank you to all of my friends I have made here on TSR! The list is so unforgiveably long, that I shall spare the space and just give you all (((MEGA HUGS!!!!))) Your support, encouragement, waggling fingers, and broad shoulders mean the world to me! Thank you all!!!!

Thank you to my son for kicking me in the tuckus and telling me to just TRY uploading a house and see what happens, instead of worrying so much about the technical stuff.

But most of all...thank you to all of you who have downloaded my homes. :D It is really YOU that has helped me get to this point. It is the people who download homes, community lots, and tutorials that encourage artists to create more. So thank you to everyone who has ever downloaded one of my creations...no matter what it was! YOU are the real reason I love to build...and title or no, that will NEVER change! Thank you!

--A VERY grateful,
Illiana
