The present day.

Not much left to tell about my trip down memory lane. I spent months building up a data base of base pictures, before creating each one and printing it to photograph. When I look back at those photo's, I shudder.
Still, it's all a learning curve and with each metamorphosis the photos improved along with the way I displayed the prints. I show them in a frame so people can see how they could look.
Anyway as time went on I got busier and busier especially in the run up to Christmas. Looking back now, I'm not sure how I did it. Sleep became an optional extra, lol. I did learn to slow down work wise though, when 2 new grandchildren arrived into the family for me to help with. It reminded me that some things are more important than excessive working.
I do love my work and I love a challenge so it's fun and exciting when I am asked to create something I don't already have a picture for. Many customer requests have become best sellers.
I can do the same picture and not get bored with it as the challenge is always to create that perfect gift for the new customer with their words.
I get official reviews but rarely remember to look at them. The ones that mean the most are the little messages saying how pleased/happy/thrilled they or the gift recipient are with it. That makes my day.
It's funny though, that even after all this time, every sale still gives me a thrill. I just love my job and can't believe how lucky I am to be able to work from home and even take it with me when I travel to see family.

I love what I do
cos I do it for you.
if someone should enquire
it sets me a fire
to hear the words, can you.
I am not a can't, more a can do
especially when it's for you.
Always willing to give it a go
don't know till you try, you know.
I love the challenge, want to try
you won't hear me sit and sigh.
I won't be sitting having a rest
I'll be struggling to do my best.
I'm stubborn, I like to win
when I do, I have a big grin.
I love nothing better than hearing you say,
I will be returning again, another day!!!
