Ohhh heck! I've done it now!


Okidokee, well, I've done it now!
I put some cards in a box, with my contact details, took them to the art cafe and handed them in. I only did a scribbled note, maybe I should have typed something up, a bit more professional. But if I had waited to do that I'd have talked myself out of it.... I had to write it quickly, shove the cards in a box and get out of here :)

Anyway, she said that it's a group decision and that she'd let me know. I left them with her. These are the ones I handed in................

I think these are the best ones, but as you see, I erm, didn't quite get it down to six :)

I was so nervous, after I'd handed them in, I rushed out and straight to the public Ladies' toilets, where I promptly threw up. Good job Boots is right next door. Ha!

Thread-bare,

Half of me can't wait, the other half is dreading it- I forgot to say in the post that after I had handed them in, I rushed straight to the Ladies' and threw up!!!!!! I was sooo nervous!

Dragonstar,

I don't know! Aagh! I gave her my phone number and email. They have two galleries- one here in Colchester and one in Mersea Island, a few miles along... She said a panel decides, but she arranges it all. So I guess that might mean she has the final say. Not sure. She was too busy when I dropped them in and didn't open the box. I got out quick!!! LOL!

Blue,

Ah, I thought he would be upset if I parted with them??? (Will that do, do you think?)

Tiggertastic

I like those ones too! I like that cat!!

Bob,

Oh dear. Sorry Bob, I thought you'd like to keep the Bear ones a bit longer. Ok????

***

Lynda,

LOL! I think this is why I made a card for my sister in law the other day, rather than use one form the box!!! I'm too attached!
My back is definitely oodles better than it was a couple of weeks ago, but still twinging, e.g., it's a lovely day here, blue sky and sun, but I daren't walk into town. I might take a bus later, and feed nuts to the squirrels- no hang on, that means bending dowo- oh rats! Poo! Poo with flies on it, as Bob would say!

Stardust said...

I love ALL of them, especially the mouse with long list and the round robin placed last. =) Good picks!

Ok, I'm all excited now, I really hope that your works are appreciated!! =D

On the other hand, isn't it a little hard to part with them, I suppose that they're precious...

I found the site! http://www.shophandmade.com/home

Not sure if they are exclusive to certain regions or not, but it's worth a look :O) The cards you handed in are amazing! I love how you packaged them so professionally with the clear card protectors. They look like they belong on a store shelf just waiting to be scooped up by a lucky buyer :O)
