Hi peeps!
First of all, join me in celebrating the winner, Joscelyne Cutchens! Who could compete with a polaroid camera that lights up with you remove the picture? I'm only a designer, but apparently, Joscie is an engineer as well :)
I also wanted to take a quick second to thank everyone who encouraged me along the way. You have no idea what that means to me. I have absolutely no way of knowing why my card was even picked as part of the top 20. Not that I don't think my card was fabulous, 'cuz it was, but so were so many others that weren't chosen. With that in mind, I did the best I could and stretched myself every single week. And I was so happy that many of you liked what I created!
To my fellow idol-ers, the top 20 ladies: you are a special bunch. I have had so much fun "chatting" with you all, and getting to know you a little better. Joscie, I can't wait to get my sweet treats and flair in the mail (hope it's not all melted, hee hee). I have blog-stalked quite a few of you, and am so amazed at the artwork you put out - what goes on in your lovely brains, I will never fully understand :) But it's been so reassuring, knowing that even the best of you have the same moments of self-doubt that I have, and have the same nervous excitement at the thought of your heart and soul on display...
Now that I have my weekends free again (!) I hope we can all enjoy a relaxing one!
Congratulations, Elena, on being in the top 5. What an achievement! You should be very proud of your accomplishment. Your cards were always stylish and well executed and always one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteWin or no win, you know how I feel:) You are an incredible artist, but even more importantly, you're a joy to know! I'm so glad that our paths crossed! I can't wait to see all the amazing things in your future!
