I WON!! I WON!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!

OMG! I'm still shaking with excitement!! I won second place on the Piggy Tales contest. For the contest, we had to create an "All About Me" album using primarily Piggy Tales products. I chose the "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs" collection because it is done primarily in Purples, and purple is my favorite color. I think Piggy Tales is a fairly new paper line, so there aren't a whole lot of embellishments to go with it, so I had to create my own embellishments out of paper. You'll see stamped and hancut flowers, as well as hearts. (Thanks, Kelly Goree, for the string of hearts idea!!)

So I told a brief story about myself with chapters separated into decades, 1960's, 1970's and so on. I can't believe I was picked as a winner!! They must've only had 3 entries!! LOL! Anyway, I created a separate slide show above showcasing my album. Thanks for letting me share my excitement with y'all!!

The notification email from Trina at Piggy Tales appears below:

Theresa, Thank you for posting the information about Ben, 2 of my sons know him, and are/have been in school w/ him for years, I know his family through PTO and know his sister through the High School. This is a horrible situation for all of us in this area. We in the Union School District and as a member in this community appreciate all the prayers, and appreciate, any and all tips and info that can be given to our Sheriff's Dept. Donations and gift cards for the family are being accepted at the United Bank of Union, to help support the family during this.
