I had a dream, to become a self made millionaire from my whimsical little drawings that would take the world by storm like Harry Potter making me onehappy mom free to live wherever, whenever, in style without a care in the world.
my 1996 Christmas Card - milady productions
I even made it to trade shows in places like Seattle and NYC with fabulous response. But then i had 3 little children and we came to a stand off. (imagine an old western town, no one out except 2 gunslingers on opposite sides of the main dirt street. on one side Milady Productions...on the other my family.)
And when i see wonderful companies like this one Rifle Paper Co.(thanks for reminding me Make mine mid-Century!) i feel 2 things at once:1. inspired and delighted by seeing someone doing what i thought would be a good idea
and its evil twin,
2. jealous that it isn't me and that i must've missed the boat.whaaaaa.
But then again, i look at this darling work and simply wish i had a portrait
of my family for Christmas cards. I just love it.
So, if you suddenly see me illustrating the alphabet or making little family trees with angels, i swear, im not copying! :) its a great idea indeed .
Cheers to Anna and her success!
This lady continues to find her balance.:)
