Graphic 45 2013 Design Team - made the top 30 first round!!

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! For someone who's gone through all sorts of rejection in life, this is just the biggest thing. It means so incredibly much. Of course, there is still the final round; but to have made it to the top 30 is a miracle.
