I won a Prize!

Oh I'm glad it wasn't me that read it catty. I did wonder if she wrote it while miffed. I asked the question very nicely I thought. I wrote ........ "I hope you don't mind me email a reply to this a second time but I have a problem.

I was told at the NEC by the editor that I had been given 2nd place in my category, I am absolutly sure that is what I was told as the words you have come Second and you have joint Third place sound entirly different, I have been turning this over in my mind to make sure of what I heard. Now this email is saying something different, and please could you clarify your position and explain the anomoly. I have been telling everyone I know that I came second and now feel rather odd telling them otherwise."

I was in the Uk and I also heard her say to some one else that they were joint 3rd but I shall draw a veil over it now I think.

If they let me in!!!!!!

Thank you Beverly Claire in Montréal. FRANCE

Oh no I'm keeping the prize, I deserve it.

I replied the following to her mail......... "No I am not disappointed. I was simply confused, as I was absolutely sure of what I had heard you say. I did feel that by emailing a second time I was going to be annoying and it seems I have been. My apologies for asking so many questions and taking up your time."

I think it says a lot too but I am still chuffed to be placed . I was thrilled to be finalised.

However the organaisation on the day smacked of "couldn't organise a bun fight in a paper bag" as my father would say( he's a retitred baker). Didn't stop me having a great time tho'

No I never did know who owned it . The museum in Alton Uk that sold it to me, only knew that it was owned by a girl who took it to Russia to get married, after which it came back to the UK. I just couldn't believe they wanted to sell it I never had to do a thing to it it fitted like a glove. Don't think it would today tho'!!!!

Claire, I love your site. YOu are very creative.The clothes you made for the competition are lovely.I admire people who take things apart and come up with something so very different. You did a fine job. You should fight for the prize you were told you won. Unfortunately people in charge of events like the competition think that gives them the right to be petty and in your case probably very political. I'm willing to bet that the placement was changed to suit a a friend or relative. Juno

Thank you Juno,

Truly all the articles presented for judging were really good, wonderful workmanship and done with great care. It was really good to be in the final and I'm not put out at being 3rd not 2nd now I understand, as the others were really, really well done. Just don't like being messed about and I hate having to say but I thought you said.... I know I'm not that hard of hearing.

However the veil is now being drawn over that and I shall continue to bask in my prize light!!! Claire in Montréal. FRANCE
