Default article in local paper
HI all,

My gallery was featured in a nearby paper yesterday, and I thought you might enjoy seeing it. I have "never" been photographed with "my own artwork" before, so this was different for me. That's me on the front. Anyway, the box sold this morning from a phone call. Press helps.

Neat article, Christina! And congratulations on the sale. Sounds like the reporter was duly impressed with your talents and your POB.

I always thought "Thor" was this big ugly Norwegian guy that threw lighting bolts instead of tantrums (or was that hammers he tossed?)

Anyway, thanks for posting that article. It's always nice to see sucess fall to members, here!

Al

Well done Christina! Wonderful article!

May I ask how long it took for your business to become viable and how did you start it up? I live in the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada and I would love to start something like that up. Did you start it part-time and then become full-time?

Sorry to have so many questions but this is something I've been mulling over and trying to figure out how to do it. Thanks.

Only on Mondays, and sometimes on Fridays, and yes, it is a hammer.
