Good Morning ~ Another day. Waking up to a note from my Agent. Niiice. It's so good to have opportunities to help people with my Artwork. To help them Enjoy their lives.

My Agent sent me some notes that Clients had sent about me:

Alison was great!!!! Alison was great!!!! She did phenomenal work and she was an excellent sport. It started pouring outside, she was more concerned about the kids faces getting messed up, than about herself and her supplies. She asked for an umbrella for them, she was awesome!!!

Eventually we got in from out the rain and she continued her great work. I would love to have her again at my next event. Latoya Lashley

Her work is outstanding! I had the pleasure of having Allison draw faces for my son Dante's 13th Birthday Party. Let's start with her promptness. Not only was she on time, but she came by prior to so that she could familiarize herself with the directions, so that she would be able to get here on time. She had a very warm personality, and with the going on of the party, she fit right in. Her work is outstanding, and I would definitely recommend her and use her for future entertainment. Thank You for such a wonderful professional artist. Leona Allen-Curtis

I recently received the following email from a client who much appreciated the Outrageous Style that I've already developed:

Alison, You did a wonderful job entertaining the guests at my wedding. Not only were your creations wonderful but so were you. Thank you for working the Cocktail room and catering to the looong line of guests. You were a hit! Thanks so much! And I agree with her. I look through this blog and I feel very pleased with the happy fun good-likenesses that I've been making.

Oh look ~ a lovely client took the time to send me this note today:

Good afternoon Alison, sorry it's taken me a couple weeks to actually thank you for the WONDERFUL and AMAZING job you did at M----'s birthday party. Everyone LOVED IT! Glad 'her friend' booked, and also I think another friend of mine will be booking you also. You're totally awesome and I'll be booking you again for sure. Until then, take care and thanks' for making M----'s 1st birthday so MEMORABLE!

I felt happy, but I just wrote back a simple Thank You. Now, opening my email again, I wish I came up with this nifty response ~ because it could have made my client smile. I could have written:

What? It's been a couple of weeks already since M-----'s First Birthday? How old is she now?

Oh, I'm feeling tired. I wonder if my nifty idea will still seem witty in the morning. Either way, I will be feeling grateful for my gracious clients. I do what I can to uplift my few moments with them. It feels good to know that it's successful.

Oh here I am again. Posting my client's feedback. (I covered up client's name to protect her privacy)

I used to feel too shy to show the nice things that people say and do for me. But now that I've been pushed to post some of the written notes, I came across this old note from 2008. I came across it as I was preparing for the 3rd time that this woman has subsequently hired me.

I feel so blessed that my work is so appreciated. I feel so blessed that I can actually bring such joy with the talents that I've been given.

And Thank You to the people who take the time to let me know.
