You guys ...

I can't believe it ...

But I made the first round of Graphic 45's illustrious 2013 design team!!!

I'm crying, I have wet hair, and need to be at work, so I'll keep this short.

OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Graphic 45 for selecting me in your top 30!
