Deb - we exchanged a couple of emails about the possibility of receiving feedback on last year's page turner entry. Did I miss an email from you or is that still in the works?

Ok, don't get me wrong, I can't wait to open up the challenge on Thursday morning - If I'm not 1/2/3 or honorable mention, then I can't wait until later in the day to see if I made top 15 or landed in the top 40.
