And the winner is....
And the winner is ....... drum roll please....... ME!!!! I won a first prize in the American Mothers writing contest for a poem! I got a phone call yesterday and unfortunately I was VERY busy at work so I don't have many details. I will post more later.... and maybe even post the poem! Anyone that knows me is probably thinking.... Poem?!?! ... what happened to drawing?!? ... you write poetry?!?!? Yep..... I'm a poet and I didn't know it!!! HA!!! Well, I'll tell ya... I buried my talents for a while.... and now that life is WONDERFUL... I am slowly trying to find them again! I don't have time or space or equipment to do the drawing thing right now... and I have always liked to write silly poems... just ask my kids... and I took writing WAY back when I was young... so I gave it a try... maybe I'll post one once in a while. Anyway... I got back active in ANWA (see link to web in my family and friends) and decided to write poems on my lunch hour and entered a couple contests. This was my first attempt at a more serious poem. So.... I'm excited and now a lot more motivated to write more. And now to the really important part..... A great BIG thanks to Mike and my family and ANWA for always encouraging me!

About Me

- Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!

Congrats! I've always known you are soooo talented! When you're famous I can say, "I knew her when......" Where do you work, by the way?
