A belated CONGRATULATIONS! to you, Donna, for this gleaming finalist!
I'm glad to read that it was a personal favorite of yours. It's always nice when an image you really spent time on, and are proud of, gets the "seal of approval" from those hard-to-figure bp judges...:} #2320620

Hi Mary - your encouraging words mean so much, I have again lucked for the finals this month so I cheered myself up a little by putting all the past images to the forefront to remind myself I am capable of being chosen...LOL
It is always so nice to hear from you and read your positive words.
Thank you!
