I have more good news! One of my photos was selected for a provincial themed calendar. I just got the email from SGI to announce that they are sending me a $500 honorarium for that. WOW. At the top of my lungs I hollered, "WOOHOO!" for a half hour and did (mental) back flips around my living room until I could calm down enough to phone my mom. She gets that calendar every year and always encourages me to enter. This is so awesome! I haven't been this pumped up for a long time. This prize will pay for a lot of framing too. It just couldn't be better timing. BIG SMILES all around.
Good news comes in threes, right? Well, here's my last bit. I 'Finished it Friday'! Apparently it's B's birthday soon and she sounds pretty darn excited about this commission. ; )

Thank you once more to MeinkeToy for the $25 gift certificate and also for the goodies you sent my way. And now, the winner is... KIT LANG! : ) Congrats! She was picked randomly by my six year old. I'll pass Kit's email on to MeinkeToy and they will get in touch with you. : )
Have a great fall weekend everyone!
