Congratulations everyone am so excited to be through in categories 6 and 8 I checked the website all day too!

Dawn J Sep 18, 2010

I'm not just saying it, when I say the standard was very high this year. Wendy arrived at my house at 10.00 am and didn't leave until gone 5 pm! Apart from a quick lunch, we were doing the shortlist all day.  It was a very tough day.

I must admit, I did feel a tinge of sadness at not being able to be part of the competition. Having seen it from both sides now, I think I would prefer to be on the artist side.

I do, however, need to give a special mention to my lovely husband Chris, who came in from work at 7.00 pm and was not allowed to do anything, including eating until he had put the list up on the website!     

FenBeary Folk Sep 18, 2010

........special thanks to Chris xxxxxxxxx

Dawn it must have felt very strange indeed but to be editor of TBT!!!!! must make up for it 

I too have been checking all day  :crackup: Can't wait to see the pictures 

valewoodbears Sep 18, 2010

Congratulations everyone it's so exciting  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap: Looking forward to seeing pictures of all the entries. Pleased as punch to have a nomination too.

Thanks Dawn Chris and Wendy for the hard work, Dawn I can understand you being sad, I too will miss seeing your entries, they are always fab.

Hugs

Oh, well then special thanks to Chris for putting everyone out of their misery so quickly then!  And to Dawn and Wendy for spending a whole day on the selection.

To be totally accurate, he wasn't allowed to cook my tea until he had done the website - I am very spoilt!     

LisaAP Sep 18, 2010
