Minty Fresh

.I'll frame this in a 5" x 5" white frame. This light green background was a total accident. I was going to mount the circle on a lighter shade of the reddish color. The light green happened to be on my table when the circle landed on it. Hmmm, I says to myself. The stitching is one of my original designs, stitched by Mom. (Thanks Mom!)

For some reason I'm always a wreck when I send an email to my Pine Tree Designs mailing list. Even though everyone I know assures me what I send out isn't spam, I think I worry about being intrusive. Gotta knock that off, I know that's silly.

I sent one out last night, about next Sunday's event at Artizanns, in Naples. I was already feeling a little late in sending it out. I was trying something new too - providing more information than a simple, who, what, where, when sort of thing. I really talked up the store itself, Naples, told a short funny (?) story. Was it too long? I proofed it 100 times. Plus I was trying to get it done before dinner.

So naturally I made 2 mistakes. I sent it to my entire list, not just my local list. Oh well, it's a good opportunity for increased website visits. My list is so large, I have to send the mailing in thirds. At least one mailing I forgot to blind copy the recipients - so everyone's email address was visible. Not good. Not life threatening, mind you, but I hate that I did that - looks so unprofessional.

Maybe I need a check list for sending email!
