Well that was a surprise. I am wide-eyed proud to announce that the Sea House Warming Hut placed third —of more than 100 entries! — in the 2015 HBS Creatin’ Contest. (More contest results here.) Thank you for being curious and caring enough to watch and comment on my meandering mini odyssey; heartfelt congratulations to everyone who participated.
Tiny rancor is more than happy to share my five three minutes of fame :)
In other fun news, I just signed on to this 28-day challenge sponsored by Creative Live. It’s free of cost, and results are shared on Instagram (I’m nancy_k_enge). Check it out!

CONGRATULATIONS on a project well done, you are always bathed in fame with me.
Aw, thanks, Joyce. (Full disclosure: Joyce is my delightful mother-in-law and most worthy opponent in Words With Friends, among other things :)
Congratulations!
Thank you Keli!
The Sea House Warming Hut is very creative. Love the back story. Congratulations on your win.
Judy, hello, and thank you very much. I am glad you like the back story. I love the idea of the builds inhabiting a connected world, with history and fiction twining between them. I just need a *much* bigger place to hold them all :)
Congrats! Your beautiful build deserved its recognition. Great work and very inspiring.
Thanks, Kat. This means a lot coming from you. Feels good to be appreciated :)
Congratulations! It is a lovely build.
Greetings, Shelley, and thanks! I’m glad you like it. So much goodness out there :)

Adding to the congratulations — and I’m not at all surprised — it was an awesome build and I enjoyed watching it unfold.
Many thanks, Christina. I enjoy seeing what other folks are doing as well.
Yay you!!! It’s well deserved. The warming hut is awesome!
Aw, Cyd, thanks. It was fun to keep company with other builders, wasn’t it?
As I scrolled through the entries and saw yours placed third I thought – I watched it evolve from beginning to end! Can’t wait to watch your next project as it progresses through 2016. Congrats!
Bennie, you make me feel so proud! Thank you <3
