I won, I won!

Okay, maybe I shouldn't say this but I'm excited and wanted to tell....

I got home today and in the mail box was a letter from the State Fair of Texas telling me that my tatting entry to the fair won a 2nd place! How about that. I'm so surprised! Alot of people from my group entered and I never expected to win. I entered it just as a challenge from my group. I'm very pleased and excited...

I'm also a little disappointed as my friends spent alot of time with their entries and some of them didn't win anything. Winning is fun, but how do you deal with your friends' disappointment at the same time? They worked just as hard, if not harder than me? Hmm, this is a tough one, huh? This is one reason I don't like to enter contests, especially with or against friends. I value their work just as much as mine. I can see the time and efforts they spend on a project. Hmmm, til next time....
