Bummed Out This Morning

Today should be a happy day.  I finally finished my cuff bracelet that I was working so hard on for the Etsy Beadweavers August "Art Deco" Challenge.   The entries had to be in by midnight EST.  I didn’t get it listed until 11:50 CST.  Too late to be in on the challenge.   What a bummer!  With a sad heart, I went back to my listing and removed all the EBWC labels from it.  I had worked so hard on it but life kept getting in the way or the piece didn’t want to get done.  Well, it didn’t win because my Rootbeer and Amber Diamonds and Triangles Cuff did get completed and listed in Grandma Marilyn’s even though it will not be in the challenge.  I should have read the rules earlier this morning so that I would have realized that it was EST not CST.
