In September 2012, I worked up my courage and went to a local card shop. When I walked in, I was delighted to see a wall labeled "Local Artists". I spoke with the owner and asked if she was interested in more "local artists". She was interested! I showed her my cards, and she hemmed and hawed, then pulled out 6 cards. My first thought was that's better than being shown the door. She handed them to me and said she'd like 5 of each type, how soon could I get them to her!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather. She selected several of the Teabag Folded cards and my newest creation, Gift Card Holders, like these below:
I had ton of cards in stock and got her the order in a couple of days. It wasn't much money, but oh the feeling! If you have a passion, take a chance! It's worth the risk to attain the goal.
None of this would have been possible without my Pazzles Inspiration! I think I questioned the decision to buy the cutter for 2 days before I placed the order online. That choice has changed so much! I have found a creative outlet that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. I have met a group of people through the Pazzles craftroom that I never want to be without again and so many new horizons are open to me now. The sky's the limit!
Bev, gorgeous creations as always! I love it for you that your passion is turning into such a great outlet for you and others can enjoy your cards.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting Bev! I bet you were smiling ear to ear walking out of that store!

That store owner knew a good thing when it walked in the door!
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I was walking on cloud 9! I didn't really know what to expect when I went in and it just goes to show that taking a chance can sometimes be rewarding!
ReplyDeleteAnnette, thank you! It was a mutual "good thing"!
