I am so excited! I opened an Etsy store today selling some of my prints. I've had 17 views already so fingers crossed. I will definitely celebrate my first sale. I've only a couple of prints up at the mo but I will spend a couple of hours over the next few days posting some more online. I intend to sell cards, badges, mirrors and little books too. I hope I'm successful.
I'm also waiting for a canadian publisher to decide which illustrator she has chosen to illustrate her alphabet book. I had to submit a piece of artwork which I did last Tuesday. I hate waiting! I'm checking my emails every day just to see. Even when I know she'll be tucked up asleep in bed, I'm still checking. My logic has been thrown out the window!!!! It is between three of us and i keep checking the AOI site to see if I can guess who I'm up against. I'm going slightly mad I think!
I am crossing fingers, toes, arms and legs and anything else I can find!!!

Congrats on opening up shop! I just stumbled across your shop a few minutes ago and I LOVE your work!! I'm really into children's lit, and have a couple working manuscripts. If I could draw and paint like you I'd be knocking on a publisher's door tomorrow! I hope you hear back from the Canadian one soon. They just HAVE to love your work. It's awesome! I will definitely be back to check on your work. Have a great day!

(Is there any way you'd consider opening up your comments to folks without Blogger/Google accounts? I know lots of people don't have them, so they're unable to comment...and there are people like me...I HAVE one, but my actual blog is at Typepad. Hope that isn't too pushy, and if it is, forgive me!)
