Oh my gawd! I am on over stimulation mode! Every one brought their books in tonight...whew...talent all over the place! I haven't been able to upload everything tonight...wow!
Inspiration...excitement...buzzing you can feel in your skin as you soak it all in! I love just being in the room! I posted photos of Julie, Lizzie, Loretta...tomorrow I will work on more and upload them after work! Gah! They are ALL wonderful!
I was able to work a little tonight...I started playing with the Tea pot altered book that my friend Linda S gave me the day we went to Crowns!
I glued some pages together with the help of Traci, and the name of the book is Love in another town! And I am totally thinking pin-up girls and the whole bad girl theme...ooo la la...maybe add Paris in it! Ah...with of course tea! At least I have a direction now! I want to do niches for sure with little shrines! Yum Shrines!
Anyway...tonight was all exciting! Traci brought a photo book of when she was a Professional Cheerleader! What a hoot! Sexy Mama! I love that she has so many interesting things about her! That is going to be a great story for her grandchildren! Giggle!
And then after sharing that she shared the HUGE news!!!! She is talking to TWO read my words TWO publishers on her VERY OWN BOOK! Eeeeeek! Squeals of delight! I am so stoked about this! Ooosh! Huge commitment but such a pay off! They are talking about doing the photographs in AUGUST for a release next year! I don't think I can stand to wait a whole year...I will HAVE too...but a whole YEAR!? Sigh/pout/sulk... but so happy about it! A BOOK! A REAL LIVE BOOK!
It is so awesome to watch someone come into their own! She is overwhelmed right now, and kind of frozen in space and time...who would not be? I would be NUMB! She just has a lot to do...and I hope she calls on friends to help her though...it is all about support! We don't do anything on our own...we need to know when to ask for help and seek it out! She is going to work through this awkward space and come out the other side with such growth and accomplishment! ooooh! It is so exciting!
Hi -- yahoo e-mail is not going through apparently. Just got a message saying my e-mail to you didn't go. Thought I'd try this and see if I'm getting out at all. Sometimes e-mail doesn't work as it should, but I didn't want you to think I was not trying to respond. I'll try to send you my address, etc., later in the day.
