    As I was thumbing through the nominations, I realized that there was one person who’s been a big ray of sunshine for the circle. She’s always got something positive to say, and in spite of her ailments she remains optimistic and has a lot to give. Not only does she provide endless positive feedback on my works, she branches her kindness out to both the Cool Beans and deviants outside of the Gold Rush. To you, TurtleSensei , I salute you as the winner of the Official Golden Bean Award. (also thanks so much for the fan art, that was super sweet of you ;w; ) <3

TurtleSensei wins 1 one month premium membership, a feature of her project, and a discount on my commissions.

Cool Beans are encouraged to provide positive (or constructive, if requested) feedback on each others' work. The more you mingle, the more you'll win everyone's favor. (I suggest you keep your activity public, but that's a suggestion. It'd just make tallying your community karma easier. )
