For yet another year Wallene has entered her photography and art work in the Orange County, VA fair.
This year she entered 10 pictures, 2 pieces of art and 1 collage.
::drumroll::
She won 7 first place ribbons, 3 second place and a participant ribbon simply because no one competed in her age range [15 - 19 yo] in that catergory [watercolor/pen].
Them's pretty good results - 10 for 13? - YAY!
YIPPEEEE SKIPPY!
She has always done well in her previous age category [11 - 14 yo]. This year we knew she was up against some pretty hot competition being one of the youngest participants at 15 yo in this new age group.
BAH! What? Me worry?
[Yes, actually - I was sick thinking this would be so awful considering all that has been going on if she didn't at least place in one category.]
We couldn't be happier for her. We are all floating in the clouds over this.
Our little girl does not disappoint - here are the winning entries:
 |
| Collage |
 |
| Charcoal/Mixed media |
 |
| This is Duchess [our deer] on *our* golf course. They actually have a category just for deer in photography. |
She also earned a free 3 day pass to the fair. [Saved us $30. ::grin::]
Now, how do you think her chances are in the apple pie contest on Saturday? Yeah, me too. hee
Hope you don't mind my little [okay, okay BIG] bragfest but Wallene really needed and deserved this boost. She's a good kid with, we feel, a lot of talent. It's nice to have others appreciate her too.
See ya' on the flipside Tadpoles. I can't stop smiling. Hugs and love, Janine

WOW, WOW, WOW! Congratulations! Wallene is super talented, and I know you're really proud of her. Thanks for sharing the good news. WooHOO! 12:34
The barbed wire fence is brilliant! She is talented. Has she considered making note cards or posters of any of these? Making prints and selling them is better than selling the originals and all future rights to them.
Tell her "Congratulations!"

Make your hair smell pleasant. Spritz your preferred aroma on your hairbrush or brush and brush your hair. This will give your hair an incredible and enduring aroma. In the event that you notice the aroma is blurring, do it once more. Realizing your hair smells wonderful can cause you to feel better about it. AAPKI NEWS
