Did you ever win a ribbon in a science or art fair when you were a kid? I remember doing a science fair project in grade school on cacti and succulents. I worked really hard to make my aquarium planted with them look great and wrote the best report I could. Every class got to go through the gym to see all the science project displays and I couldn’t wait for my class’s turn. I knew I had won a ribbon, but I wanted to see that ribbon hanging from MY project with my own eyes.

I had the adult version of that moment this week. It’s been two months ago since I heard the news that one of my projects had been selected as a winner in the Cottages and Bungalows contest hosted by Whisperwood Cottage, but knowing it and seeing it in the magazine for myself aren’t the same thing.
My son and I were in the car when I got read email from Jickie , editor of Cottages and Bungalows, that the magazine with my project was on the stands in stores. They are sending me my own copy in the mail, but I couldn’t wait, so I had my son pull over at the next store we saw, so I could run in and buy it.
It was definitely a “blue ribbon” moment for me.
Blessings,
Angie
