I RECEIVED THE FUNNIEST REJECTION LAST WEEK...

Remember in one of my previous blogs where I mentioned that "persistence" was my middle name? Well, during the course of the past 3 months I had contacted an art director 10 times via a generic email address at their company and through LinkedIn. Last week I received an email from the art director and the subject line read "Unsubscribe." That's it...just "unsubscribe." Obviously, she thought I was a newsletter she had inadvertently signed up for or spam or something computerized. Well, I just couldn't resist writing back "You CAN'T unsubscribe...I'm a real live person here!" I did put a smiley face after it and said that I would respect her wishes and not contact her again but you just really have to have a sense of humor in this business or you would go crazy from all the rejections!

A LITTLE LATE, BUT HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

MY DAD WOULD ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF HE SAW...

what a mess I have made of his slides! Over the past five months I have gone through 12 boxes of slides three times. The first time I had a system, the second time I think I had a different system, and the third time there was no system...which leaves me with a huge mess! All of the slides that I have pulled out to have scanned are now thrown in manila envelopes to be refiled at some point. I don't want to put them away now because if a company is interested in them, they want the original slide so there's no point in filing them. However, my brother informed me the other day that he and my dad spent several DAYS organizing them in chronological order and labeling the boxes. I did not, obviously, mention to my brother the state the slides are now in and I don't have to worry about him finding out because, even though he follows this blog, I know he doesn't read it :)

PAPYRUS IS INTERESTED IN MY CARDS!

Yes!!!!!!!! I received an email from them the other day that said they thought my family photos were wonderful and that they think there's an opportunity to work with me!
