Several years ago I won a cross stitch contest and won a big box of every DMC thread color including their varigated series. Talk about thrilled!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I was!! I love cross stitch b/c I love to be able to take a blank piece of fabric and see a picture emerge from it. It just never ceases to amaze me. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Cover Of Veterinary Medicine - Best cover of the year award
Well when I was in school I was always winning Science Awards for some project I did...shows what a geek I was..LOL. Then many years ago I won a local photo contest. We used to have an "Elmhurst Day Celebration" and I was the staff photographer of the local Our Block Association newspaper, so later I entered one of the photos I had taken to the Local America photo contest for The Queens Ledger..I won third prize..I guess my proudest moment though was that a photo of mine that appeared on the cover of Veterinary Medicine was later cited as best magazine cover of the year--I have a copy of it hanging up in my bedroom wall along with the very first photo ever published. Here's a copy of that cover. I didn't "win" anything really from any of the contests/awards except pride in my work... :)
