A little bit ago, the nice folks over at Erin McGuire's college (Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida) helped us make the big deal out of Erin winning the grand prize from our Your(Hallmark)RED contest that she deserved. We couldn't all fly out there (though we sure wished we could've), but some Hallmark alum were in attendance so that sure was nice.
Erin's friends and family were there too, along with the president of the school, her professors and all sorts of other people who support this very talented young illustrator. (Erin and the president of Ringling, Dr. Larry R. Thompson, are pictured above.)
It was a lovely day, by all reports. We hope you enjoyed yourself, Erin. :)
P.S. We are super grateful to Ringling and our Gold Crown friends in Florida for helping Erin celebrate her achievement. And of course, we also continue to be pleased as punch that Erin decided to enter this contest in the first place. Lucky us.

Okay speaking of flow...

cute, so many ideas, hmmm...
still sifting thru the rubble!
ps: Congrads to the Hallmark staff on the completion of your first contest. Well done! Also nice idea for Erins ceremony. :)
I just noticed that my quote and photo are on the index page in the This week on the blog... box. In order to keep your minds active until the next contest is officially announced, I offer you an animal-related challenge: In the above-mentioned photo, taken at Halloween a few years ago, I am sporting a bow on my head, gum wrappers all over my clothing, and a big chicken on my chest. Can you guess what my Halloween costume was?
To neubon...I've got it...
chicken gumbo!
lol :) Too funny!
Hemihound: Good dog! You are correct! I wish I could offer you a prize like the huge check presented to Erin, or a time traveling trip (with or without your pet) to see me live in costume a few years ago, or even a big serving of chicken gumbo. Instead, you'll have to settle for that good feeling that comes when you do things like figure out a puzzle or open a Hallmark card!!!
