Prizes at The State Fair!

I was VERY happy with this first place. I have always felt like it is a difficult category to win anything in, and I have hesitated to even try until this year. There is only one first place in each category, amd there were a lot entered in this one.



The action category is another one I didn't expect to do very well in, so I am happy with second place. Look at the motorcycle that won first. I feel honored to take second to that. I did not place with the other two categories that I entered.

  1. That is awesome Karren! I love them both! The sunset one is stunning. I don't think deciding would have been easy for the judges b/t you and the motorcyle!

    And I don't know why it is so hard to let go! I've been coming to this decision for a while, and I know it is time...it has been several years now since my last page...but I think it is a toss up between the idea of having that physical book to hold years from now and knowing how much $ I have spent on supplies!

  7. Bravo, Karren. They're all fabulous. I haven't entered a photo in our fair since the 1980s. I remember the fun of finally being able to see if they won and the excitement when they did. Hope you have a good weekend.
