GO VOTE!! IT'S UP AND I VOTED

I was up at 5:40 this morning and the contest was up for voting. So I did my duty and voted. I am waiting to hear if any of the gals or guys here at BD made the finals. I wasn't included in the finalest but then again I really didn't expect to be, hoping but not expecting.[:'(]  Now that I seen the entries I think I should have entered mine in the under $25 not that it would have made a difference.

I think they have some really nice things included in the finalest this year. It wasn't easy picking just one in each category.  Good job judges!

Not me this year. [:'(]  Ah, well, it was my very first, so what did I expect?  I'm voting, too, but with my dial-up connection, it's taking for-e-ver...

How 'bout everyone else?  Did you make the finals???  My

 Where do we vote?

Vote here!

I voted, too! And to every finalist I wish good luck! You all made wonderful pieces!!!!! In some categories there was the ONE piece that immediately caught my eye, in others it was hard work to chose my favorite.

just go to beadstar.com

 Alas, I was not there.   Not that I truely expected to be as it is my first time entering ANYTHING. 

There are some beautiful, beautiful pieces. I hope that one of us is out there!!! I had a hard time voting ~ couldn't make up my mind.

Good Luck all!

I don't suppose we can ask which one?????? (is that breaking the rules?)

Thanks, I've been making jewelry a while now, but it never occured to me to enter a competition until I saw the add for this one, and had purchased the previous issue in the store...

Kokopelli Designs: my experience was just like yours - some categories there was one item that just caught my attention immediately and other categories that took more thought. 

That said I have to brag that I am a finalist in the plastics category.  Woo Hoo!!  I must admit that it's nice to be recognized.
