Rejection... gotta love it.
KI Memories top 25 were announced today.
It's not that I thought I even had a chance, but the day came and I thought... you know... why not? It could happen. I imagine no one thinks it will be them.
But alas, no call. My phone never ran so much during the day! Drove me nuts... minor heartattacks throughout the day. And then the phone call in the evening...
"Hello... Marcia Penner?".
"Yes."
"This is Capital One..."
Crap.
Therefore solidifying my theory that I am unpublishable. (I had one published on a Scrapbook Answers disc and another was "supposed" to be in the February Paperkuts... which I still haven't had returned to me either!). I try to take it as a compliment. That I'm a little different. Not what the general public wants to see... but it still sucks. It sucks when you have such a passion for something and then the world tells you to stop doing it.
(I know I'm exagerating and that there are some of you out there who think I rock...)
I had a great theme.... at least I thought. An open-ended album entitled "Just be...". Each page was a quality I wanted my kids to attain. Curious, adventurous, silly, affectionate, etc. And it's no secret I love the KI.
And the wacky thing is they didn't pick Jen either! What a bizarre world! ;)
So here's one of my favs...
I'll post some more later (right now my scanner's not hooked up).

Sorry you didn't win, Marcy! If your album looks anything like that one layout, I think they must be insane to not choose you!
