Hi Chicky I love your page. I didn't' get one of the 'yes we love you' emails either, posted my page on my blog yesterday, but my goodness look at the list of those who did and I reckon the judges had a hard time getting 20!!! Hugs and don't let them knock you down because, like a wise lady I know said... "I am so proud of how this turned out"... Yep you said it, hold on to those thoughts :)

Nadia Cannizzo said...

Wow Leanne, this is just absolutely superb. I cannot believe it wasnt in the top 20. There are some fab entries I know but this is just SENSATIONAL. The feathers and wings, that bodice, the layering, the details, OMG, this is just gorgeous. Definitely one of my faves of yours for sure. I think it's a winner anyway.
