Belated congratulations! To paint three VIP's and have them all be equally thrilled with big smiles on their faces means that you did a wonderful job! How exciting!

Michelle, thanks for peeking in and for the support. I am meeting with one of the gentlemen this morning (yeah!) about other work so I will ask about PR. I do hate to miss the opportunity but I am also aware that some groups of people aren't so thrilled with others capitalizing on their position and I want to be sensitive to that. As far as marketing materials go I am with you 100%. Thanks again.

Brenda, I appreciate your thoughtful words. I don't think I "deserve" anything but can I just say it's a lot of fun to have people want to shake your hand...even if only for one day?!

Carol
, you said the nicest things. One, I am totally humbled by everyone here and genuinely feel I have miles to go before I am content (if that ever happens). Two, if you knew how I agonize over what I write so it comes across with it's original intent you would laugh. I write like I speak so not having personally met anyone I hope my tongue in cheek comments and silliness comes through. I worry that the printed word can be so misunderstood and everone is sitting at their computer's saying, "that girl is an idiot and she takes herself too seriously." LOL. Anyone else out there have a tinge of that? Anyway, your reply was so nice that I actually had a few minutes of relaxation along with a big "whew." I thought the sound I heard was something flapping in the wind so thank you for letting me know it was the sound of one kind woman clapping.

Garth, thanks! Yes, I like that word too. I laughed my behind off when it hit me as I was telling someone how the evening went. It just popped right off the tongue. I don't know if I will ever have something that will compare to your blinding cameras and news folks but it sure made my day. I think I will take your advice and paint more.

Marcus, you are always so generous. I am flattered by what you said. Thank you. Blog -worthy? Too funny! Maybe some day.

Richard, first, thanks very much. Second, shame! Don't get me wrong, I am glad you lurk...I mean watch the threads, but why are you denying us all the pleasure of seeing your work as well? That doesn't seem fair. Do you know how many of us linger and wait for the next post with such anticipation that we nearly drool? You could keep us from the painful disappointment on the days in which there aren't any new posts! I'm counting on you to make up for this one day soon.

Enzie, thank you. It was indeed so nice to have happy clients in such a prominent postiion. Of course every time a client is happy it's a huge relief and gives such satisfaction but you are right, it was especially nice for this one. I must say I did try very hard. I had the best help in the business too here at SOG!
