How about a tour down memory lane?
I decided to take some of my projects that are lying around, and entered them in the local county fair. Why not? May not mean much, but I'm happy to report I got blue ribbons for all four pieces. Whoohoo! It does kinda give a person a boost of confidence. (between you and me, though, I didn't notice a lot of entries in my categories, so, you know, take that for what it's worth, lol).
The top piece was entered in Collage/Assemblage, the second was in the Altered Art (using scrapbooking materials), the third was a scrapbook page about my family, and the last piece was entered in Mixed Media (altered Ikea frame with metal).
It was also kind of nice to get out some of my favorite pieces and look at them again. I kind of forget what I've made, you know?Any hoo... thanks for stopping by...greatly appreciated!
23 watcha thinkin'?:
Doesn't matter how many entries there were...you got blue! I haven't been to your county fair in a l-o-n-g time. Congrats!
YOU GO GIRL!!!! Congrats on the BLUE RIBBONS ~~ BEST IN SHOW!!! They are all lovely pieces and perfect for the categories you entered them in! <3 Candy
No-one who knows you or your work would expect anything other than blue ribbons. Congrats. It is nice to see these again.

Well done Lori, well deserved these are fabulous pieces. Tracy x
You have to wear them all week now okay? Great idea Lori - and indeed the art does end up in the shelf...how about selling some on Etsy? I am going to go to a fair soon - cos my house is heaving with the inky stuff...
They all look like winners to me! How cool that you can have your work in a fair like that.
(FYI, I'm still waiting for you to post what you bought at Stampaway:)
I'm sure you blew the competition away with these winning designs...no matter how many entries there were. Congratulations!
No surprise to me that you received blue ribbons.....all the pieces are wonderful Lori.
Congratulations! No surprise that you won, though! You do fabulous work!
WTG Lori! What fun!

Wonderful pieces Lori..might consider Illinois State Fair next year, I was surprised at the variety of categories they have in the arts---
Woo hoo! congrats Lori! they are all fabulous and how great that you got a blue ribbon for them :)
Oh wow Lori, congratulations with the blue ribbon awards. Great makes. Annette x
You go girl! We would all enjoy a boost in our confidence and I do believe 5 blue ribbons would do the trick! These are all outstanding and you have every right to be proud of them! Congratulations!!! Diann
CONCRATULATION, Lori!
This pieces are fantastic! I love the whole design! Beautiful work!
Congrats, Lori!!!! It is a boost!! And lots of entries or not, your art is fabulous!!!
You blew their socks off and you know it! Blue ribbons? Go girl!!!!! Love your style.
You know, now you have to alter those blue ribbons.
Seriously, I'm impressed.
I'm also amazed that a country fair even has some of those categories.
Or am I just being a big city snob?
Either way, you go, girl!
xoxo
Congratulations and I am not surprised that you won on all of these. You are a very talented artist!
gorgeous work and well deserving of blue ribbons--no matter how many entries.
Woooo hooooo, congrats on sweeping the blue ribbons!!! (And the reason there weren't many entries is because there are very, very few people who can DO that, and no one does it better than you. ;)
Well congrats are in order for your winning entries! If there had been a hundred I bet you still would have taken the blue ribbons!
