Oh, oh, exciting

OK, so here's the thing. I'm trying to make a go of it in the graphic design biz. And I did some work for a friend the other day: I fancied up a poster for her, which, along with one I am doing, will be part of a display of a whole bunch (specific, right?) of posters to illustrate what the churches in our area do, shown at this enormous fair type thing in the summer. Once I have the green light on them, I'll put them on here. Anyway, she was so grateful (this was before she even saw it. Nothing to do with my skills) that she said she'd tell anyone who asked who had done their poster, and that I should give out business cards whilst working in the said display at the said fair. And then I told my Mum about it, laughing, and she said that she thought I should too.

So. It rather put a fire under me to finally decide what I was going to call this thing I'm doing. I mean, rather than 'Design by Mary'. Or something. Which would have been fine but a bit of a snooooze. So I made a decision. And I made a business card.

And I fuzzied out my details for reasons best known to my paranoid self (yes, I know, everyone reading this knows where I live and has a good knowledge of my dental records). And I'm super jazzed. And then I realised that rather than rambling like this on a blog that I could put on a business card, I should either stop that, right now, go back and re-edit all my old posts, or set up another one for the actually businessy type stuff. So I did that too.

Oh boy, oh boy.

The really jaunty thing is now, I can do stuff on here that I never really intended prospective employers to see. Like cake. And the frozen cookie dough balls that I intend to make soon. And my ukulele. And my views on all kinds of stuff. Not that I haven't been doing that all ready, but you know. Exciting!

So here we go. New adventure. Starts today. I feel like Carl Fredricksen. I'm going to go and buy me some balloons.
