Wow :) Today for the first time a customer called into my work and asked specifically for me. I had helped her design a few things in the past and she absolutely loved them so she was pretty adamant about working with me on her next piece. She said she had been trying to get me for the past month but my schedule's been so erratic that we haven't been able to coordinate, but man! It's just so flattering!
So she came in and I picked out a few mats and some frames, put them down how I liked em and she was simply floored. It was spot on. The picture was of some yellow lab puppies on a sled in the snow and there were beautiful purple shadows on the yellow dogs so I picked a grey-ish purple mat for the bottom mat and a creamyish mat for the top to match the dogs. She hadn't even noticed the dogs had purple in them until I put down that color and she was just so delighted! Then I grabbed two frames with a bluish-brownish cast to them that looked exactly like the colors of the wood and shadows of the sled the puppies were on -- it was perfect. Add museum glass no problem and bam. $340 order. And that's after the 50% coupon she had. She didn't even hesitate. She knew it was worth it and there was no better way to frame it ;o

So I did my job well and I'm really ecstatic to have a customer who now asks for me by name. It's really a great achievement in a sales position :)

Have you heard about the new G-Force movie coming out in theaters soon? It seems like a movie you would love since it features guinea pigs. Woot... woot...

I'm not sure you'd remember me from Furs4You koneko...but I wanted to message and give my sincerest condolences :(

*hug* as Imago said, remember her for what she was in life, not in death. Her spirit lives on within your heart, so she has never truly left.

I love you baby, now and forever.
Yep, I remember you as well and thank you for stopping by with your kind words~ I can feel her with me with every step I take, though I still can't help but wish she were physically at my side of course. But with time comes healing and I am fine with that :3
