So glad the folks across ...Congratulations Melissa!<br />So glad the folks across the pond recognized the beauty in your piece. I love designs where you create "outside the box" yet retain a classical feel. <br /><br />Contests/submissions are like customers ~ not everyone will like everything you design, so I don't take rejection personally because I know someone else will come along and have a different opinion.<br />You certainly proved that!<br /><br />sandisandi mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936873481818244101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-47044998248527556202010-11-01T12:17:22.586-07:002010-11-01T12:17:22.586-07:00Thank you all so much!

As for the other contest where you didn't place, we all know that specific contest is decided by the votes of the general masses, and they tend to lean much more toward traditional designs.

I look at it as a personal triumph just to enter. I don't do it to win or even place. It that happens it a happy accident. But that doesn't stop me from loving my pieces even if the judges or editors don't. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your triumph from a disappointment. <br /><br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-8753009002371659742010-10-31T18:45:35.849-07:002010-10-31T18:45:35.849-07:00Thats awesome.
