This is the first time I've won a 1st prize at the fair. If I get time, I'll post pics on my website later this week.

Wow Meredith! That is so great. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are Chick's fireworks when we need them! We should be celebrating...got any chocolate?

Your work is exquisite, Meredith, I'm glad it got the recognition it deserves...next stop: Oprah's 2005 Favourite Things Show?

Meredith's jewels could be the fireworks! Congrats Meredith. WOW! That fair's a big deal too.

Congratulations Meredith!

Cool graphic, Chick.

Congratulations Meredith. Please do post pictures on your site if possible. I'm not surprised you won. When I looked at your site some time ago your work was beautiful. I make most of my own jewelry but I'm seriously planning to get it together to order something from you. I guess I better do it before you become famous and the prices go up!

Fantabulous Meredithbead, I am proud as punch for you and you got to love those fireworks Chickadee does. You deserve this honor and I'm sure there will be many more to come...

woohoo chickadee, EMERALD fireworks! How appropriate, it's my birthstone

Thanks everyone else for your congrats

The gals in my exercise class have convinced me to cancel our class next week so I can go to the awards ceremony. One of the gals wants to go, too. I told them it's 15 seconds of fame, and all the watered down punch (I hate punch, anyhow-- the sugary kind, not chatty's "proud as punch", which is good) and stale cake you can eat!

My display is pretty cool too, but unfortunately I don't have a flash camera so I won't be able to take a picture of it. Draped black "satin" background, and the jewelry is displayed over different sized and shaped wine glasses (champagne, sherry, whatever). Some of the glasses are right-side-up and some are upside-down. Mostly clear, with one each blue, green, and black for contrast.

Meredith, you absolutely must get a photo. Borrow a flash. Maybe the person going with you has one.

Hey steal one if you must. And take some of you getting the award while you're at it. (Hey, if you get a photo of the cops hauling you in for stealing the camera, you can sell it to the Enquirer and PAY for the camera!-- Well it might not be the BEST idea, but it's an idea. And you gotta' do what you gotta' do. This is a a PHOTO OP!)

It's like when one of our kids graduated.

We gotta' SEE this.
