Holiday Bazaar!

My world has pretty much been revolving around work and photography. One of the things I'd been told would be a good way to get my foot in the door here was to get a booth at the big Christmas bazaar that is put on at the high school each year. Over 90 booths, with vendors coming from all over Alaska to participate, and thousands of people walking through that day. I was warned that it is generally VERY hard to get in, as the waiting list can be very long, prior vendors have priority, and most come back each year. However, once you get in once, you automatically have a spot the next year. Well, sign-up day came around, and I went in early, just in case. It was a good thing too, because when I made it to the front of the line I was informed that there was only one table left, and everyone behind me was out of luck! I'd made it in! All of a sudden I had so much more to do! Photos to choose, editing to be done, products to design and order, and decisions to make on how to set up the booth. I'm slowly but surely working through those things, and it's all finally starting to come together. What a relief!
I know it will all work out, and I'm trusting that God will keep me sane and enable me to get what I need to done, when it needs done. In the meantime, I'm working on setting up an online website where my customers can order their favorite prints. It's going to be http://www.akgirlphotography.smugmug.com/. All calendars, magnets, and cards will still have to be ordered through me for the time being, but it's a start, and I'm excited about it!
