I am 'Doer of the Week!"

Dear Doers and Dreamers, I really thought that when I was contacted by Alexis that I was being scammed. I just couldn't believe a member of Martha Stewart's staff wanted to talk to me and had nominated me for "Doer of the Week"! I am a new member of this wonderful "DOER" group so I am just getting to know some of you but I am so honored to have my business highlighted in the newsletter. I love the title for the article Alexis, your play on words "Pretty in Ink" was great. Last year I worked on nine weddings and learned more with each job that I worked on. I started slow to build my confidence and networked with local businesses in the wedding and party industry offering to do samples for their showrooms to show my work to their clients. (Free advertising!) As mentioned in the newsletter I donated my service to my church bazaar for a silent auction and also to a local museum charity auction. Every job has different paper, inks and pens so every job varies and every job has to be customized for the client. That sometimes makes my work difficult but I am always learning and always challenged. I brag that I have made many brides (and their mothers) happy with my work and thank goodness I have never met a Bridezilla! Thank you for this wonderful honor. Please visit my flickr website to view more of my work.
Humbled and happy in Pennsylvania,
Karen Keller-Eyer

Comment by Karen Keller-Eyer on October 21, 2009 at 9:59pm: Hi Jolene,
Gettysburg is not far from Lancaster County if you are interested in calligraphy for any event! Thanks for the comments and I think "Doers and Dreamers" should gather in Gettysburg at your B & B! Any others interested?
Karen

Alexis asked me to add some pictures to my post so here they are! Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Comment by Karen Keller-Eyer on October 24, 2009 at 2:35pm: So sorry my images are huge. I'm not sure how to make them less so!???

Comment by The Glitter Girlz on October 24, 2009 at 3:33pm: Congrats Karen!

Comment by Kathy Hamrick on October 25, 2009 at 9:49pm: A job well done! And congratulations Karen!
I am in awe over your work--Good Golly Ms Molly's LLC would love to have your work featured on my Christmas letters and note cards. Please email me with your contact information so we can discuss more on this. msmolly10@comcast.net.

Comment by Kathy Hamrick on October 25, 2009 at 9:54pm: Reading back through the comments and yes--Kathy "The Salsa Hammer" would be interested in a stop over in Gettysburg. But, I will be calling the resort tomorrow to find out what might be available. Problem is--We have no definite dates. If we could get these, I am certain that all would find a wealth of West Virginia's hospitality not to be beat!
