Need to Share this News

                        

Ok, I am not trying to brag on myself, but I got great news and I have to share it or I will bust, and that could be messy!  You may or may not know one of my pictures that I took and then animated is being used for my work holiday card.  That in itself was very exciting.  I was thrilled and flattered.  

Today I got called into my bosses office.  She needed to talk to me in private.  I know my eyes probably rolled in my head as I thought 'what now?', but I closed the door and sat down.  She babbled a bit about this and about that and I could myself getting fidgety.  She then proceeded to tell me that the marketing firm that we outsource some of our business to had contacted her about my work.  We talked for a bit and within a couple of hours I was contracted to animate their holiday card.  Contracted, as in getting paid!  I was so stoked, I am still stoked.  I love doing my graphics, but now, cold hard cash for doing it!  And right before Christmas.  Hmmmm whatever will I buy myself to put under the tree??  ::giggle:: Yeah right, someone else will get a better gift.  The line has already grown so don't bother asking to add your name.  ROFL!!  

They purchased the picture I will be working with so no copywriter worries, and all I have to do is throw a little animation on it.  I say that like it's easy, and it will be to an extent, but I will have to work on it, make it perfect.  Since they are a marketing firm they will be sending it to their clients and prospects.  Now my sales skills come into effect and I think this could lead to something.  No, I don't plan on being able to pay the bills or put food on the table, but it is a start and any extra money will be great.  If not now, in the future.  Maybe even the near future.  Anyone care to do the happy dance with me?  Pallease?  I need to PARTAY!!   

On a side note, the graphic here is not the one.  It's just another picture I played with.  Wanted to do a few different things in one picture.  Can you tell what is animated?  It's disappointing on the upload size to store graphics.  I mean I understand and all, but I had to shrink this pretty small just so I could show you.  None of the sites I am aware of would like me upload it without making it teeny tiny......... but this will work I suppose.
