I entered my first "big" scrapping contest from a paper company. I had never sent anything to a paper company before at all so I wasn't exactly sure what to do. I sent a LO to the Scenic Route paper company which I thought was great... The deadline passed while I was in Saubz so I was checking Dave's blackberry every day trying to see if my name was in the winner circle. It wasn't. In fact, I never even did get an email back that my LO was received or anything. Is that normal? It leaves you wondering if it was even received by them or considered. Anyway, 2 days after the contest was supposed to end and the winners announced, the SR folks caught up to their website and posted the winners. Obviously I did not join the ranks - and that's ok - but I am still a little disappointed I guess. I will try again. What do I have to lose right? But next time I will add a "read receipt".
Here is my entry...
I did see some lovely news that Pearl (one of the sisterhood of scrap sisters) won this month and her incredible LO is one of the big winners.
The silver lining was that on the same day - my sister Laura was permanently hired as an employee in the same company as me. She had been working on a contract since January and was hoping to stay - and she found out at the same time that she will stay will me and our lunchtime fun can continue. Also on this day - my sister Megan got a 2nd interview for a very exciting job located around the corner from Mommy's work and this is her first "grown-up" job after graduating college with distinction!
She also got a call that one of her professors wants her to do freelance work on the side for them - so she is kicking butt all over the place! AMAZING!
See - you win some, you lose some. And you keep on trying.
