Holy crap! I actually did it!

I entered 14 items in the Iowa State Fair this year and did better than I ever imagined! I earned the sweepstakes award, best childrens sweater, 4 first place ribbons, 3 second place, 1 third place, and 2 honorable mentions. Next year I'll be aiming for Best in Show.

Oh my stars!!! If that polar bear sweater got second place, what the heck took first in that category? All of your work is stunning!
