May I brag a moment? hee hee

Please pardon my NARCISSISM , JUST TODAY,haha, but I must brag on myself  for ONCE (?) ! Here goes, here I am holding up my WINNINGS! I won some scrap BUCKS, too!! HOW?????? Well, I won FIRST PRIZE on the ATC contest! WHAT is an ATC you might ponder???? The letters ATC stand for ARTIST TRADING CARDS! Hey, don't feel bad if you didn't know, I didn't know either! I just saw that there was a contest for them so I researched them (Quickly! Because I was leaving the next day for Chattanooga!) and saw what they were. Kind of like a MICRO mini scrapbook page on a PLAYING CARD! Weird, huh? Well, I laid out some playing cards , threw some stuff on them and laughed to myself thinking how embarrassed I was going to be when I entered them, not knowing what they heck they even were!  WELL, I almost didn't even show them to Mary Margaret, I was afraid she'd laugh me out of the hotel, but she said, "JAN! You HAVE to enter them! I love them!" I was still nervous about entering something I didn't even know about except a day prior, but I did it. That morning we pulled out 8 of them and filled out the forms and posted them on the big bulletin board for entrants. We saw that they would be announcing the winners around 1:30. Of course, we were busy shopping and looking at everything and the time flew by. Suddenly came the announcement. 3rd runner up; 2nd runner up ; 1 runner up and then>>>>>"JAN FRY"! The scream Mary Margaret shouted probably made it back to Birmingham! She went BONKERS! I did, too just because it was soooooooooo funny; sooooooooooooooo crazy and sooooooooo hilarious that I would win something I didn't even know what they were until one day before! HAHAHA! Anyway, thought you'd enjoy reading that so you'd know what those pix are of me holding MY scrapBUCKS...........enjoy the rest of the show pix, including some of the people we met, etc............!
