And your work was recognized immediately!

Too bad you couldn't make it. All in all it was a lovely day.

I had non-SCA plans for this weekend that I couldn't change when I found out these awards were going out.

There is such a thing as life outside the SCA? Amazing! :-)

The scrolls were well received. Your reputation is preceding you, btw :-)

Stacey read Sean's - and I gotta tell you, we NEED to use her in courts in the future. She was excellent!

I read Owyn's. Thanks for posting the text - I think even TRM though I was embellishing! :-)

As the herald said, “Scroll by…” 75% of the audience finished with “Mistress Alys Mackyntoich!” It was great. I hope to be worthy of a scroll authored by you someday. :)

I did get a wording commission for a certain upcoming Baronial Investiture taking place in your area . . . .
