WOW! Dubai shock!

This was in my inbox this morning:

Dear Debbie

First of all I would like to thank you for responding so quickly to our requests regarding participation in the Dubai Doll Exhibition during Dubai Summer Festival.

Unfortunately, after months of organization and preparation on our part, the Dubai Shopping Festival has decided to cancel the Doll Exhibition for this season. I realize this has caused many of you some inconvenience.

I apologize for the late information, as we were only informed today that due to decreases in the Shopping Festival Committee's budget, this event along with others have been cancelled.

I hope that Enigma can continue to look to you for support in the projects we have in the future.

Warmest Regards & Sincerest Apologies,

Fatma Ebrahim

What can I say? I am stunned...in some manner, but since I had not heard from the organizers for two weeks, I did have a feeling things were not going well.

I can say that I will have a whole lot more money now and TIME! Whoooo-Hooooo! (Huh..I JUST took all the tags off my new clothes yesterday. I should have kept them on one more day to return the items that I probably won't wear in my everyday life. Buggers.)
I love time by the way! I think I will see if I can reschedule my trip to Missouri to teach Dianna Effner to reborn later this month. That will be awesome!

I will have my passport and can go visit my dear friend Angie in Canada now. :)

I can offer babies up for sale again outside of eBay. :)

I can take my DH to the airport this weekend for his trip to Vegas. I had told him I would not because I had so much to do to get ready for Dubai.

~sigh~ No longer a world traveler. This too shall pass.
