Thanks to everyone who joined in.
What fun!
I was so completely tickled last night to see I was a finalist! I had a busy day away from the computer, so I had no idea. I’m glad I didn’t know or it would have been a distraction. Never mind that I didn’t win, it made my evening anyway. Thanks, Erik! And if you ever have any old publications that you need to get rid of, I’ll gladly send you my address. ; ) I asked for a subscription to the Budget for my birthday, but it didn’t happen. Too bad!
Sweet! Thanks for all of the votes….and of course to the kid that was ‘outstanding in his field’. (left field that is)
I am looking forward to the magazine issue.
