Thank you for those who have been so patient with the contest results.  As most of you know Jamie was casted on a reality TV show and we had to close our business and move to Orlando for 5 months during filming.  That put us 5 months behind in our sewing school, our website, and judging our contests and mailing awards.  Awards will be mailed the 1st week of July.

Unfortunately, after much thought, this will be our LAST "Sketch It" contest we will do. As much as we wanted to make this a fun contest for kids to enter, and a place where everyone receives an award just for trying, we are no longer going to hold this contest.  Every year it gets larger and larger, and we put more and more money out for judging, awards, and mailings. 

I apologize to the contestants who have supported us for 3 years now in entering this contest, but this will be our last.  Thank you.
