Exciting News!

I wanted to share some very special news...

I was completely taken aback with yesterday's announcement for the Top 20 in the Gallery Idol Contest

When I awoke yesterday morning, I received a message from my sweet friend, Amy T letting me know I had made it. Thank you so much Amy for letting me know!! I just could not believe it.


I tried to get onto the site to see the news but my computer would not allow me to see the page! Ack!

8895421418 9e2fbdf015 Gallery Idol Top 20 Revealed!

I had to get ready and leave for work. Oh, what a day of agony!! LOL! All day I waited until I could get home to see the news for myself. I must say, I was totally distracted and I was also on cloud 9 ALL day! (there I am...bottom left hand corner of the picture array above). WOW, so amazed by this and completely honoured. 


This is the card I submitted for the Kid Birthday card challenge, 
that won me a spot in the Top 20.

My original post of this card is HERE.

This is like an "American Idol" contest. We are working on cards for the next theme which is Father's Day. 

The cards will be posted on Monday and then the public can vote for their favourite!

On Monday I will be posting my next card here. I hope you will be able to stop by to see it. 

Thank you to all of my dear, crafty friends for your loving comments on FACEBOOK and the emails of encouragement. I appreciate ever single one of them!!! 

Still beaming...
