janabanana,
I agree with McSue, just send it in! I sent my Magical Love Birds in thinking that it would definitely not pass, and to my surprise, I did better than I realized. Still didn't pass, but it was also my first try, and the comment sheet you get will be helpful for not only fixing your mistakes, but preventing any ones you might accidentally make on your second try. I also didn't pass on my Tropical Birdhouse, which I thought was really good, but the two comments they had for me made a lot of sense and I agreed 100% (in one case, didn't realize what they were looking for; in another, I just didn't check my work closely enough).
It is so funny how disappointed I was when I didn't pass on the first try.
I KNEW I wouldn't pass on the MLB and assumed I wouldn't on the TB, despite the good start. I know that almost no one passes on the first try and I don't have a lot of crafting experience, and yet I was still bummed. I got over it by the next day and got excited for another try. Just dive in and enjoy the experience!
The good news is, I received my comments/samples back in only 2 weeks from the day I mailed them in! Perhaps they're on a fast streak at the moment and you'll hear back from them soon, too.
