More bragging...

[freecat15]

I actually couldn't believe it. Even less than the first time, and let me tell you, I checked for five minutes then wether I really understood it right.

I've been nominated again, but this time - for one of my icons! An icon of me is nominated at wicked_awards ! Can you believe that? I still barely can!
It's this one:

As one of the rising stars of icon making (if you ask me) you totally have a right to brag! I love the mood you created with that Anya icon. But I can think of several more of your icons that would have deserved a nomination too.

A rising star - I appreciate your faith in me, but - uh, no. I got lucky with some icons, but I'm so far away from what you and others are able to create, and I doubt I'll have much time in the next months to learn much more, starting with a new first grade class at school in two weeks and all.

Thanks for your words, though! They make me happy all the same :) (not only about the Anya icon (and wow, thank you so much for those alone!), but also those about some other icons... :) )

"Got lucky"? How long have you been busy making icons? And see the level you've achieved in this short period? That's what we call talent, not luck!

That's great!

[freecat15]

Yeah, it feels absolutely fantastic! That's why I needed this outlet for my happiness :)

:D Thank you! (Also for the absolution :) )

Congrats, it's a lovely icon!

[freecat15]

Thank you!!! *beams* That means a lot, coming from you!

Getting recognized is a wonderful feeling and something we all need. I am happy you're getting the attention you deserve.

[freecat15]

It is. And we do. I wish there were SIMS contests, so you could have that, too...
Thank you for being happy with me, sweetie!

Thank you for those kind words, but the sims Internet community actually is a very lively and creative one and there are many that are much, much, much more talented than I am. The Sims was the reason that I landed on Livejournal a couple of years ago, but when the simmers moved on to Tumblr (google and you'll se) I didn't follow. It's a snap-happy crowd (I suck at taking pictures and I don't like to do it - it feels like a chore) and the pacing at Tumblr was just too much for me. I do want to share my interest with others, but I have a couple of acquaintences left here and that is enough for me.

I don't get Tumblr. Follow a discussion there including understanding who said what or finding something I look for seems to be impossible for me. I guess I'm too old.
