Mine is my first published book. I am proud of it because, besides the actually book pressing, I published it completely on my own. My design, my label, mine mine mine! I might seem a bit vain about... because I kind of am LOL! I had a LOT of help with the funding, though. So many people pulled together and helped get it out! It was one of the highlights of my entire creative career. I am still seriously grateful for every single person that helped it along.

I do think there could have been some things that could have been done a little better, but in my mind, it was absolutely prefect. I wanted to get an editor, but the ones I found were too expensive, and I couldn't get anyone I knew to do it. So I just did it myself.

Unfortunately, the creator of any item has a bit of a biased eye, so I can't say what others think of it, but interestingly, I really wasn't that concerned with other's opinions at the time. In hindsight, that was really egotistical, but sometimes you have to be that way in order to actually push through doing something.

We will see how the second one goes and if I shift my pride lol
 
It does sound like quite an accomplishment 😊
I am very proud of how far I have come with my photography. It has been a slow process as I am self taught and have not had the kind of internet access to watch YouTube to learn. It's all been reading, asking people and practise, LOTS of practise. My first camera (and lens) crapped itself after 10 years - it was just well used 😂 but it was beginners/entry level & I could never quite get the photos the way I wanted. My grandmother paid for me to replace it as part of my inheritance just before she passed away and I have improved 100% with the newer model I now own.
 
I guess one thing that I am proud of accomplishing is earning my black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Even though it has been years since I trained I fought for it and I earned it after several years of tough training and one broken hand. LOL. After I made it I found out that most people thought I would only last a couple of months in the training because I don't really like to fight and I am not very sports oriented.
 
I guess mine would be how long it’s been and I’m still holding a pencil . I have always had a passion to draw , but stick people is all I have ever known or had the ability to do . But now I am in a place where I love to draw , and to be honest I quit things very quick , and 6 months later I’m still holding that pencil and do t feel the urge to let go .
