Working on a New Painting
I guess I will tell everyone what my news is. I was contacted by Hallmark!! I guess they are looking for some new art and they would like to use some of my art for there greeting cards. Soooo excited. I signed the first contract. Just the first step. And hopefully they can use some of my art. EEEEEEeeeeee pinch me!
I did not want to say anything until I signed something and I got my W9!
Very excited about it!
My Father In Law died in January. He had been ill for some time so I would sit with him. He and I would talk about my art. He was a great business man and a true believer in me. He kept on saying to me " You need to contact Hallmark". Well I kind of just thought " You don't just contact Hallmark. They have there own in house artist" I would sit with him and he kept saying that my art would be perfect for Greeting Cards. He always thought Big. (I believe there is a lesson there) In the back of my head I have this
feeling that he had something to do with this. Charley is watching out for me. I really truly think he had something to do with it! Things like this happen to me all the time! I'm not kidding! I have always felt it.
It's all about the Energy!!!
