I'll admit, I'm a little tired. Dealing with home renovations, mini projects, work, and all the other insanity that goes along with every day life...I'm a little worn down.
And I'll admit, this didn't help:
Guess whether or not I received an email. If you said no, you'd be correct.
So I'm very interested in seeing the winners, honorable mentions and first time entrants.
And the new contest kit is out.
I'm not so sure about this one. It seems like a rerun of the 2020 kit?
I mean, it's not bad. But it doesn't seem to come with windows or a door and it's not enclosed.
I have an idea but at this point, though I purchased the kit just in case, I'm not even sure I want to do the contest this year.
After all the time and effort to make the deadline in 2021 and then the house isn't even good enough for an Honorable Mention... it's discouraging.
At this point, my house is still in upheaval because the wonderful start to the bathroom has fizzled out and we've gotten some very bad news from a plumber we had come out. Twenty thousand five hundred dollars later we still don't have a completed bathroom.
With the change in jobs it's more difficult to put money into savings and I'm more conscious of how much some of the mini supplies cost. Of all my hobbies, minis are the most expensive.
So if I do the contest, it will be with supplies I already have or can make.
I'm giving myself a little break, to relax, write without feeling like I have a deadline and read books I have had in my pile for a while. (ha, rhymes)
I love minis but after the last year, stressing over the old job, getting fired and having a new job, I don't want to stress over my hobbies too.
So we'll see.
I hope the rest of you did better in the contest and I can't wait to see all your entries!
