Success!

Too tired for the real post craft show entry but I'll say the craft sale was a rousing success. I'll post pictures and that entry tomorrow. I hope it's not tacky to divulge this but my sales were close to $400! I sold three $9 suncatchers, a few $8.00 Note Quotes, a couple of framed pictures totalling $27 but the rest was pretty much in $4.25 and $4.50 cards. At last count, 22 business cards were picked up so I'm hoping for some future business from this as well. (And my website is stamped on just about every piece I make.) The verbal response to my work was just as encouraging to me as the sales.

I really feel I've found my niche with the paper art aspect of my work - less about rubber stamping and more about unique paper art techniques most people have never seen before. It's been feeling really right to me and today confirmed that people are responding.

I'd planned all along to take Sunday off and what a wise move that is, for two reasons. Based on my last full court press workathon before MJ's Home Show in October, I need a day off so I don't crash & burn. This time it's been very cool to know a lazy day was coming. I've been working my butt off for weeks and especially this past week, I've loved knowing I can be a big loaf tomorrow.

I got home around 3:30 today, read the paper and power napped on the couch until Steve and I called to have pizza delivered. I've been catching up with my journal and blogging friends since - and that's where I'm headed now. I've missed my friends lately!

Thanks for all the support and your kind words. I feel so gratified and happy.
