Look at that! I won a prize! My contribution was chosen for the ACA award which means that next winter, my art will be on the cover of the catalog- I got a call on Thursday to tell me that I’d won and it made my day, my week, maybe longer! There was an opening today where they made a presentation of prizes. They said very nice things about my piece and asked me if I had anything to say… which of course I didn’t- I froze- uhhhh.
And here are flowers that we were suppose to give to Eleanor. We were down in New York for Friday and Saturday.
Eleanor directed a play at school and this was performance time. It was fantastic! Sorry about the flowers though…
On another topic- I am so sick of my knitted blanket project. I am pushing to finish it because I have all these other things I want to work on but don’t want to start until it is done. One of those personal rules things.
Congratulations! How exciting and what an honor! Not surprising to the lot of us who read your blog and keep up with your art though!
Congratulations and I agree with Judi – not surprising at all!
How exciting! Congratulations
congratulations! yes, exactly what judi said… that is fantastic.
I’m so excited! That piece is really beautiful and I’m sure it stood out in the crowd. That’s amazing that it will be on the cover of the catalog! (And good for you for posting a picture of yourself – that’s brave!).
(chanting) Go Mimi!, Go Mimi!….
Wow! You’re a cover girl (or at least your creation will be!) Very deserved indeed!
What a great thing, Mimi! Yeah!

Way to go!! Congratulations!! It is well deserved.
congrats!
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a picture of you before, but you look like your people!
Do you really have a rule to finish everything you start? I have so many unfinished projects lying around it’s driving me crazy. The problem is, some of them are dolls I have no desire to finish, but I can’t get rid of them because they’re PEOPLE!
Congratulations!
woohoo! congrats!
Fantastic, Mimi! I join the chorus of our fellow bloggers!
