I'm prob leaving the site soon....
I've never joined Facebook etc, because I personally don't think those sites have any particular focus, except maybe socialising and popularity; but MyDeco has a real and useful focal point.
Thing is, I'm an artist, not a designer, and the things I really want to talk about and do are somewhat irrelevant here...I can carry on as I have done, but I can't really get stuck in (it's like going somewhere to hear about animals, and being talked to about plants instead - might be v.interesting, but it's besides the point! (lol)
I was thinking of starting a group called 'Thinkers Aloud' or something, but it still wouldn't have anything to do with interior design...
I entered the OTW competition because I thought I wanted to be noticed by some big names who could take me places....but seeing myself in the top ten - I should be more excited than I am...I should be excited, full stop...instead, I'm reminding myself that I'm an independent person who doesn't always follow the status-quo and I also haven't decided yet, what I'll do with my fine-art qualifications.....so this makes me feel guilty about potentially taking a space that lots of other people prob want and deserve more than me (they are designers, after all). Thank you SO much for all the votes....but there's still time to get me off the leaderboard ;0)

Well all us "plants" are offended----NOt!
I hate it, but I do understand.
I hope rather than pulling the plug completely, that you just chqnge your profile page to say something like---
Hi, I am busy looking at "animals" right now, but will pop in once a month to talk to you vegetables, oops I mean "plants."
Either way, we will miss you big time!
Hugs, Sylvia

Great solution Sylvia. Timi we'll miss your wise words and wit. You've got my email so do keep in touch if you leave, but I think you should definitely consider Sylvias advice. You can keep an eye on us and feed and water us occasionally. Love from 'little weed', x ;)

Timi, Timi... I disagree with you girl.
The competition is not only for interior design students and graduates. The various categories are:
Architecture
Art
Best of non-student designers
Ceramics
Glass
Graphic
Interiors
Photography
Product
Textiles
And you are currently no 2 under the ART section.
There is no such thing as too much exposure!!!
