Hi gang,

I'm truly blessed to have a job that's this much fun! Judging the MMM Contest each year is one of the highlights of my duties. It's exciting to me, as we go through the hundreds of submissions, knowing that among all this great art are 10 amazing artists. And that soon Beth and I will have the honor of asking them to join our MM Team as part of the Class of 2009 MMM!

We love reading all the posts in the forum about how y'all are passing the time until the announcement of winners. We have to announce winners by 8/22/08 but we hate to make everyone wait so long.  If the Fates comply we hope to announce the winners before the 8/22 deadline!

Thanks to all of you who submitted your work to the contest. We understand how brave and daring it is to submit one's passions and projects to critque.

Peace,
  Patty
