It's a major award!!!!

I entered Nina's Mary Poppins dress in the Simplicity Pattern Halloween Costume Contest.....and I WON!!!! I had to send them the dress last week, just to be sure that I made the entire thing, and didn't alter a commercial costume. I made the dress for Nina as a surprise when we went to Disney World this past September. For the past couple of years, she's been asking for the white Mary Poppins dress, "not the ugly Nanny one, Mommy", so I put one together "loosely" based on a Simplicity flower girl dress pattern. It look a lot of altering and adding on, but I guess they liked it. They will let me know in the next couple of weeks if I won the Grand Prize, or if I got something smaller. Either way, it won't be a leg lamp!!! (at least I hope not). Now, if they'd only give me a job, paying lots of money, where I can work from home, my own little delusional world would be complete.
