Today I had my 200th sale to a very dear facebook friend - one of my dichroic glass cabochons.
While 200 may not be a very large number to many of you, to me it is a huge milestone! It took a lot of determination and perserverance to stand alone and keep putting one foot in front of another. I'm so happy I did not give up and let my little dream die. I praise God for giving me faith to continue on and thank my friends who encouraged me to keep going.
To celebrate this milestone and to thank you all, I am having a giveaway. Whomever leaves a comment on this blog post will have a change to win this new Walk on the Wild Side dichroic glass cab called Midnight Mystery.
To enter this giveaway just leave a comment on my blog (say anything you want) and your name will be put in a hat for a drawing on November 15, 2010. Only one entry per person. Please leave some hint as to how I can get in contact with you to get your mailing address (if I don't know you already).
Remember, big dreams start small. It just takes a little faith, courage and perserverance. What's your dream?
Well, count me in!!! LOVE your work, Linda, and am sooooo happy for you that you've reached such a lot of sales!!!!
