Congratulations Maura!  How strong you are for even doing  it!!  That is the 
hardest part - just putting things together and  listening to people talk 
about your work!  Next time it will be  better!

Hi Merilee,  It was pretty good for my first time.  When i  first started 
carving and showed all you guys my pics mostly everyone had very  positive things 
to say.....but it was the critiques which i really took to  heart.  Same 
thing with my show.  Most said wonderful things to me and  of course i ate that up 
 but one of two speaking amongst themselves said  something I quietly 
overheard, mostly about my display style.  As soon as  they walked away I would ask 
myself if what they said was valid, if it was and I  had a way to change it, I 
did.  It was a great learning experience.   Sold lots of scrollsaw items and 
pyro and a few small carvings.  Recieved a  commission and just today sold my 
santa head that i made for Mike B's  class.  They had seen it at the fair and 
just had to have it.  Can't  wait to get out there again.
