The Frosting is Sweet


(Click on the thumbnail for the bigger, better version)

In my last post, I said that the show this weekend had already qualified as a success and any other positive developments would be bonuses. You know, the frosting on the cake. Well, lo and behold, when I went in yesterday to deliver the two final prints that had been waiting for their spot to be cleared, I got a taste of the frosting. One of my prints has pre-sold. Gee whiz. I even got to collect an early bonus. April 2009 has been filled with blessings.

I have been scurrying about working on some last minute materials for Lori and, in the meantime, stumbling into a couple more projects. Whew. If I weren’t already a wee bit of a dizzy dame, I would be by now.

  2. Earl - Thank you. Surprise is right. You should have seen me standing there with my mouth open when Lori told me. Somehow the possibility of a pre-sale had never even entered my mind.

  11. Congrats Anita. No doubt many more to follow.

    I like the image here. It is a great use of the fence shadow to create depth and interest. The tiny sliver of distant background at the top leaves a sense of mystery with me. Where is this fenceline taking me? And which side do I want to walk on?
