I finally did something with this paint pour that I’ve loved so much and has been hanging on my wall for 3 or 4 years now! I love it even more now, as it’s a reminder of Christ’s love for us!

So happy that the Core Cipher has been found. It certainly is shining a B-R-I-G-H-T beacon on the community. Thanks so much for providing the Rune Wall update for us all. I am so happy to have won a prize. Congrats to @Personnia_Rawls and @Stephanie_Boone on winning the giveaway awards for the $50 gift cards. Big congrats to @Samantha_Bryant for winning the big award! So happy to see what is coming next in the community and the challenges that we will face!

Congrats to you as well @Samantha_Bryant. When you gave me kudos, I am sure you meant to write “HIS win, as well” instead of “HER win, as well”.

Oh my, I’m sorry. I’ve always thought you were she/her. 
Sometimes it can be difficult to determine when there’s no face to the profile lol. I’m truly sorry, and will not make that mistake again, now that I know. I will go back and edit my comment. Thank you for the congratulations, as well!

Wahoo!!! Congratulations @Samantha_Bryant & @Cory_Barger & @Personnia_Rawls & @Stephanie_Boone. Enjoy your gift cards and treat yourselves for your hard work.
This was a really fun event, I think the whole community loved it. I can’t believe we have reached 700 creations, that’s huge.

LOL! No problems at all @Samantha_Bryant. Being a guy and having worked in nursing/healthcare for almost 30 years, you can imagine that being in a predominantly female environment, I have been mistaken and/or assumed to be female on more than one occasion. Honestly, the same goes for crafting. I go to markets and shows and often get asked how long my “wife” has been making the very things that I put my heart and soul into.

Yes, I can definitely imagine so. I love to see men working in industries that are female dominated and vice versa. It makes me happy, because, to me, nothing is made specifically for one gender. Anyone can do anything, if they choose to. I do remember at first wondering if you were he or she, but I feel awkward just blurting out, “Are you a man or woman?” I’m happy to know the answer to that question, now. Maybe, they should add the pronouns selection to our profiles to make it easier for us lol. I did read your check-in post yesterday about “big boy job,” but it still didn’t click to me, I guess.

Me too Sam. They’re all saved as favourites, waiting patiently, ready to pounce on me some day. 
Congrats on your prize, and also @Cory_Barger. Well done to you both. It was like watching pro table tennis with both your projects!

That gave me a good chuckle! Yes, he was throwing up some beautiful shadow boxes! I was amazed. Like, how did he make those so fast? 
I would still be working on the first one! And thank you for the congratulations!
It’s good to know I’m not the only one who likes those bears. I can’t wait to see what either one of us do with 'em.
