Wow, thank you so much @lilyraabe! I'm humbled to even be considered for the contest - let alone to receive such an honor! And sorry for the delay in responding to you. I was out of town for a few days and, what a delightful surprise it was to open my computer today! Also, thank you so much for the initiative. It was great to get to know these amazing artists (my personal favorite is @patschwork ). The Steemian community is really Steemit's life and blood. I'm speechless!
