Last weekend (Sept. 20th) I watched in awe, humility, and surprise as I won the Federal Duck stamp. The duck stamp is not a postage stamp, but a conservation and hunting stamp, 98% of the sale of which goes directly to buy and protect wetlands. This is a very huge, prestigious event and is the only government-run art contest! I am only the third woman to ever win, and this is only the third time ruddy ducks have been selected.

It is going to lead me on a whirlwind adventure over the nest year, and I invite anyone that is interested in reading about to follow one of my journals (or, 'blogs') as I post about my experiences!

I have a blog on Blogger: http://duckstampadventure.blogspot.com/ This one allows comments.
And one on Tumblr, if you prefer Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/duckstampadventure

They are cross-posted so you only need to follow one, whichever is your platform of choice. :)

Thank you all so much for reading!
