Contest Results

No...I didn't win anything. But, as I said, it was a great learning experience. So, what did I learn? Well, I'll just make a quick list of 10.

1. Judges are nice and very helpful if you ask for help
2. I can drive downtown, on one-way streets, by myself
3. I can give complete strangers my business card without feeling like a fool.
4. Never forget the 'wow' element
5. My family is very encouraging no matter how I do
6. There is so much to learn
7. Pay attention to the details--every single one
8. I can find a parking spot and pay in the automated teller
9. I can find my car again after being gone for hours
10.Take something to read while you are waiting for the judging

I learned many other things as well, but I have a cold today and don't feel much like writing. I just wanted to keep you up-dated on how the contest went. No, I didn't win anything, but I probably learned more than anyone else simply because I have so much to learn!! So, I got my money's worth right there :)
