This must be my golden summer

  1. I won 3rd place with one painting and Best in Show with another painting at the local art show.
  2. I won People’s Choice Best in Show at the same art show.
  3. I won the logo design contest up here in New Hampshire (found out today)
  4. I won the People’s Choice Award in the photo contest up here (found out today)

and the jackpot…
5) DAN ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM TODAY!!!

Someone give me a lottery ticket, quick!

:eek:

Congratulations!!! :slight_smile: That’s wonderful!

You indeed, are golden. Congratulations! Now, get busy and get that art work into a gallery! :cool:

He only wants you for your art prizes.

I think the DAN’S CHOICE AWARD is just too much for one day! Excessive happiness at this time of year is sometimes the cause of the female response known as a wide-on.

Far out!

Congratulations! Hope the wedding plans go smoothly.

Congratulations. Wishing you both a lifetime of joy together. :slight_smile:

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Congratulations!

Wow! HOORAY!!!

Did he start by saying, “Hi, Opal!”?

Congratulations!

That’s wonderful news, congratulations. :slight_smile:

That is one awesome week!

Congratulations! We’ll have to write a wedding into your novel!

Opal, I am so pleased! Congratulations to you both! It’s about damned time! :wink:

What wonderful news! Truly a summer mirabilis

If there is not an open wedding invite for Dopers, we will all be mightily offended.

But, other than that, YAAAAAAAAY!

Well, we have to pay for it ourselves, and we are both students, so…

No problem! We’ll all bring a covered dish and a libation! :slight_smile:

Congratulations! Dan must be a hell of a guy if you chose him. And how nifty that your art is getting noticed with the same degree of approval! As a son of the great and good state of Maine, I renounce all previous calumnies uttered against the rocky region known to some as New Hampshire – it may take some time. But, seriously, OpalCat, good for you and yours and I hope there are lots of them to tell you how proud they are!
