Another in the long list of congratulators. Actually I responded last night and my post isn't there - can't figure out what happened. Your designs were fantastic and we are so happy for you. Enjoy LA.

[SteveZ]

Congrats! Have a great time on the Left Coast!

[Rokinronda]

Everyone, THANKS!!! OK the contest company has contacted me. They provide the flight. I also talked to Ezekiel and it is confirmed that I did win this. They loved my work! I asked if I must go this Monday. The contest lady is checking with Ezekiel now about that and other information. This is going to be one heck of an experience. I will hear back in a few hours. OMG OMG OMG! :a040::a040::a040:

Very happy for you. Looks like you and I will miss each other as I am arriving in TV early in the week. I'll look forward to your return. Is Ed going, too?

[Rokinronda]

OK, I am leaving on the 16th with Ed!!!! Good, I can get my roots done and attire ready!! shhhhh! We may be gone for 10 days?!!! We will stay in Newport Beach. I will intern Mon-Fri then we will travel north to San Fran for a long awaited west coast drive! Something we have wanted to do since, forever! Fly home from San Fran!! The reason for so many delays-the coordinator/PR manager is in the jungles of Costa Rica on Vacation and she is having trouble communicating. They are as excited as I/we are!!! wooohooooo!

[bimmertl]

I am violating my no repeat prior posts pledge.

Great work!!

Just don't forget to come back.

Good for you.

[jojo]

Rhonda, I think the Pacific Ocean highway has the most beautiful scenery in the country. There are some great hiking trails and state parks in Big Sur and do stop in Carmel - another of my favorite places. We saw whales when we were this time last year.

[ijusluvit]

Congrats!!

Now within five school days of completion of the experience you are assigned to write a 500-word composition on "My Trip To Los Angeles"

ps: having looked at the website naming all of the contest finalists, you will get extra credit if you give a detailed description of your interactions with "Dirty Boy".

[Just Susan]

That's our Rhonda! She is one hot talented mama!

[beady]

We will expect a full report and some of your amazing photo's when you get back.

You go girl.....:coolsmiley::a040:

[Niels]

Congratualtions on winning the contest and good luck on your trip. :a040: I've driven part of the California coast and it is very beautiful.

[Jerseygirl08]

CONGRATULATIONS Rokin Artist. You are certainly very talented. Beautiful work. Enjoy the trip. Have a great time.:a040::a040:

[sschuler1]

Way to go!!! :pepper2: Your work was so beautiful, you were bound to win!! :bowdown: Have a great time!

[Rokinronda]

Thanks everyone for such wonderful wishes! I'm California dreaming!!

[graciegirl]

HEY. Stop that! Florida is where you live. DON'T let them talk you into a job you love and will earn a trillion dollars so you will have to have a huge home in CALIFORNIA and servants.

Don't forget us. We love you.:sad:

[Rokinronda]

LOL GG, ....and a designer home on Lake Sumter!!! GG, You are a nut! I will be back in my humble HOME and loving life here in TV's until death do us part!
