|  FINALLY sold something! This has been a GOOD week! First, four of my entries in the County Fair all took blue ribbons (can I brag, here?) and one took Grand Champion in Class. That will go to the State Fair in Detroit next year. Went fishing with the neighbor; didn't catch a thing, but had a pair of loons follow us around for almost an hour and finally did a 'loon dance' for us within five feet of the boat! WOW! Only one drawback, neither of us brought a camera, but I have a good mental picture and eventually will carve a loon dance. This morning I got a check in the mail from Popov's Gallery in Minocqua, Wi. for two of my fish carvings, they sold. I was beginning to wonder if I had what was necessary to put a carving out worth selling. Nancy quite graciously bought one of my crayfish a couple years back, but everything else has just sat around in different galleries. This was a good ego boost! Now I have to go and do some more carving.......been holding off for lack of space for 'woodwork' in the house! Al |

| Re: FINALLY sold something! The thrill of creating something you're proud of is worth its weight in gold.....nothing can top that. But there's a a very special thrill in having another person admire your work so much that they're willing to part with a nice, fat chunk of cash. Congratulations, Al. That's great !! |

| Re: FINALLY sold something! CONGRATULATIONS, AL!! That's terrific! As a new 'seller' I know just how you feel and I agree so much with what Nancy says. Knowing people are willing to pay you for doing something you love doing, well, it's the best thing (next to family) that I can think of! I'm very happy for you! Callynne
