Vote for Barbara!
Hello hello! Grace here again…
Since lockdown began I’ve been ‘in charge’ of Facebook. And I’ve seen THOUSANDS of comments about how my Mum has helped so many through lockdown and beyond… and back into lockdown again ๐
I agree with you. The moment everything started to hit the fan, she got behind the steering wheel of the SHAC SHACK bus… 1 hour a day for about 6 months!! And she’s still doing Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays! Wow. What a trooper.
I can’t begin to explain how much time, effort and thought has gone into these sessions. And I know how therapeutic they’ve been these many months, for everyone. It stopped so many from feeling as isolated or alone. It helped to stop our washing machine heads. And kept us Safe, Happy And Creative.
Stay Home And Craft. And that we did, thanks to Barbara ๐
And we’ve learnt some new skills, have we not?
So… now it’s time to show her how much we appreciate all of that hard work. She will hate that I’ve written this blog, because she doesn’t do it for the recognition. But let’s be honest, this pandemic has hit my Mum just as hard as anyone else… personally and business wise. So I’m posting it anyway!
I (as well as many others) think she deserves a medal. But… an award for Best Influencer would work nicely too!
Will you vote with me?

Thanks for that Grace it worked this time. ๐I has trouble with the tech previously! All done – let’s hope Mum knocks it out of the ball park! โค no doubt in my mind. Xx

YOU DESERVE A MEDAL ๐๐๐ป
Done, with pleasure!๐๐
I put my vote in earlier in the week – a brilliant chance for us to show how much the SHAC sessions have meant to so many.
I did it yesterday, Grace, though I could really have done with your list of the factual answers! It was tough to choose five categories too as she ticks them all.
Done and double done xx
That’s a beautiful photo of the two of you. You are so like your mum. She has done a great job for us all throughout this pandemic. I appreciate it as most of the time I am on my own, with or without the pandemic. Hope you are ok, Grace, despite the madness in the States! Lots of love. Hxx
Hi Grace I have already voted. I am so grateful for the Shac Shack. I can’t believe I can draw now. That is precious. Your mum is very special and so are you. Thank you for all you do. Hugs xxx
Done Grace and she so deserves to win….she is a winner in all of our hearts.x
Done ๐
Thanks for your help Grace . There was a lot of information I didnโt know . Have voted now . Heart in my mouth writing my thoughts about Barbara . I could have went on and on and on ! ๐๐๐
Done! I agree with Ali that it was hard to choose just 5 of the answers in question 12.
I did it the other day Grace, but really hope your guidance will help others. Your mum definitely deserves all the accolades that come her way!
Done. I struggled at first trying to do it on my iPad so went on the pc and easy peasy! Fingers crossed your Mum wins ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
I did it yesterday but just had a thought – hubby can do it too ! X
Did this a couple of days ago. She certainly deserves some recognition for what she has done. Xx
Done. As said earlier the hardest part was choosing just five attributes. I had given up as couldn,t get it to work but then discovered you had to have a finger on the nominsation form and scroll it up! Just in case it helps others.
Done, hard to choose the last 5 attributes.
Voted a few days ago, hubby will vote tonight. Barbara rocks!!!
Done with pleasure. Thanks for giving us the addresses to all the answers. I’d never have been able to fill in half of it without your prompts Grace xx
Done, thank you Grace. It was such a big help that you gave us the answers to question that we might have had to search for. I have tried on a few occasions to vote but have failed previously. Result. You are a gem like your mum โค๏ธ
Done
As I have said before, the apple doesnโt fall far from the tree. Your mum must be so proud of you. The difference Barb has made to so many of us during the pandemic is enormous and I really hope that she gets the recognition she deserves. Thanks Grace. X
I tried and failed previously and was rather annoyed but with your help I have now managed to vote for Barb. We all so hope she will win as she certainly deserves all the accolades out there xx
Hi Grace just voted hope all goes well
Night and God Bless Love Jan x
Way ahead of ya. ๐๐. Will spread the word.

I had already voted Grace but some of the information was missing. I hope my vote will still count. I think your Mum is a very special person for many reasons. SHAC shack was stoke of genius. xx
Dear Grace. I agree with everything that has been said about your Mum. What she has done is amazing. Sadly I tried several times during the week but didnโt manage it, a few said they had the same problem. I didnโt see your letter until today. so sorry. I am sure there will Be lots of votes for her. .xxxxx
Babbara deserves to win. Sheโs an inspiration to so many. Her encouragement drives you on to accomplish things you never dreamt possible.
Thank you for posting this with all the information needed – I wanted and tried to nominate Barbara but couldn’t as I didn’t have the correct details – all done now!!!
