Brenda, Michele, and Linda
Thanks so much for your hopeful wishes - and of course I wish the very same for you all as well. I've learned not to get too excited and to take one day at a time. Even if it is foreign publicity, publicity is publicity, so I'll take it for starters and see where things lead.

Let the good times roll!

Wow, it looks like this up until now break even at best hobby is about to become full time! Because of this Bela exposure in Mexico, I was asked to submit a quote last week and the clients today approved and confirmed that I will soon begin this new project for them.

It is for nine 120% life-size traditional bronze busts of their country's presidents to be installed at their Embassy in Mexico City. I plan to do an excellent job for them, as this is sure to make or break my career. Wish me luck! It feels great to be able to say that I now have 2-year waiting list. Woo hoo!

Thanks so much for the congrats and for your generous support. Garth, you crack me up!
Well, I will have to contain my excitement for just a bit - although the project has been approved, the funds for it won't be released until the first of January so I'll have to wait until then to get started. 2006 could indeed be the year for "bustin loose" as Molly pointed out.
