Yay For Me!

I feel funny making this post but if you are reading this blog it is because you are either family or a good friend so you will forgive me I'm sure.  :)  I have to be proud somewhere.  A couple of weeks ago I achieved a goal I had been working hard to achieve.  My application for PRO was reviewed and accepted by a panel of well-known professional photographers and now I can play along with and learn from them.  I was just denied this past September.  I actually knew I'd be denied at that time but wanted the feedback so that I could improve.

Also, I entered a little contest to win an online workshop.  The theme was green.  I had plans to do a 'green with envy' image at a local camera store.  Then, I decided that it was Wednesday, my day to spend with Will, and that we should do something more fun for him.  We went on a scavenger hunt throughout the house to find anything and everything green and we had fun.  I entered my image just in time and found out this morning that I won.  :)  Yay... $300 saved.  There were so many amazing and beautiful entries (more impressive than mine for sure) but they stated that I won because they loved that I included my child, worked so hard and that it was one impressive pile of green.  I think they also felt bad that I had to clean up that pile, ha.  :)
