-defunct account- Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Humnn, I see that you are correct about them not mentioning the quarter scale kit anywhere on the 1st post of this thread or the web shop. All I can say is that is how they have done it in the past, I hope they intend to again this year and not mentioning it was just an oversight.

havanaholly Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Why only 3? That's so hard! :'( Try imagining yourself as one of the judges, Jeff. Can't you imagine how incredibly long it takes them just to sift through only three photos of each entr?/ And I'm sure each year Greenleaf gets ever increasing numbers of entries. And please, let's all remember this when we start stressing about how long it takes to announce the winners of prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm sure! I've never entered the greenleaf contest but I've entered HBS twice and theirs is 4 pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Back when I entered HBS contests it was three pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Limiting the number of pictures definitely creates a challenge, but it forces you to concentrate on presenting the strongest features of your entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is that is how they have done it in the past, I hope they intend to again this year and not mentioning it was just an oversight. If I am recalling correctly, the mini-mini kit was a surprise gift to participants that came in the mail the first year and was repeated in subsequent years but never mentioned as enticement for entering or promised as something that would happen every year. I'd suggest to all Flingers that it's best to concentrate on your project and be happily surprised if a mini-mini gift is to be and not disappointed if it is not.

morgansmith Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Kinda funny story here. Typical, but it happened to me yesterday and was a crack up. If you remember, a few days ago, I said I'd lost something. Well, since then, I have put a great deal of time and effort into finding this. I have also tried on three seperate days to order a replacement. Yesterday, despite even being disconnected while on hold, I perservered and got the replacement ordered. Last night, I told my husband "well now I can move this set of drawers over here because I at least got alot more organized. But that thing I'm looking for is gone forever it seems". As I said this, I moved the plastic drawer unit and picked up a gift bag stuffed with fabric. The bag was in bad shape so I looked to see what was inside. Lots of lace. Wrapped around my lost _____ _____! Yep! Our seriously helpful houseguest hid it well. Even my husband said 'you didn't put that there. I know that much'. Moral of the story.........if you lose it and need it NOW, order another. Hmmmmm........where does one order a new mind? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oh, Morgan :hug: there's nothing wrong with your mind; it's a rule that if you truly need to find a lost item, the surest way to find it is to go out and buy a replacement!

I think it's engraved in stone somewhere. Something similar to filling up the gas tank. When I need to fill up my truck, the gas prices are high but the day after I finally break down and fill up, the prices drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Med Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Good luck to all the flingers on the home stretch. I haven't been around much lately but I'm thinking of you all and remembering my own panic at this point last year. Enjoying the gallery of entries is a high point for me so looking forward to seeing the results of all your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
