Collect Them All!

So… as I may have casually mentioned… THE SCBWI SUMMER CONFERENCE IS COMING!  For me, this means checking out great stacks of books from the library, doing my homework on editors, and hitting the thrift store for clothes that say, ‘I’m professional, yet artsy, and you should give me a heap of money.’  I’ve never found quite the right outfit, but you should see the ‘publish me’ boots I got for this year.

I also made new business cards.  And by ‘made,’ I mean my brilliant artist of a husband designed them but I’m gonna take all the credit.  The back or is it the front?  Hmmm…

They’re inspired by my book, The Harbinger, and the classic Rider-Waite Tarot card art.  Warning: Colors may not be as bright as in real life.

Inspired the the ‘2 of Swords’ in the Tarot deckFor a week, I stalked our mail carrier, hoping they’d arrive.  When they finally did, I was blown away. I’m can’t wait to swap them around this weekend.  Hey kids, collect them all!

I’m totally still working on that “artsy yet professional, so hand over the cash” vibe…and still cramming in some conference reading! look forward to seeing the cards and their maker in person.

I will bring many, many cards and pour them amongst the attendees like champagne from the bottle. Um… papery champagne?

Good luck with everything!!

Forsooth the husband is an awesome and talented artist! But my daughter-in-law is so thusly gifted that he cannot help but be Inspired!

(also): Dad and I are anxiously awaiting our business cards. (how many can we have?) I have some educator-friends who will be interested, and several will be needed for family. We know you have been greatly busy. There is an Etienne reunion on September 13th, and it would be oh-so-fun to have a few to hand out. Love,
Mom
