I just think it must be so gratifying to look at your finished products, knowing all the hard work and creativity that went into them, and say, "*I* did that and people actually like it!!"

Good luck, this project is going to be wonderful and awful at the same time! It may need to be split into two or more books rather than putting it all into one volume. Either way I'm sure you'll find out how you want to best tackle it, good luck! Wow! Good luck, this project is going to be wonderful and awful at the same time!

For some reason art (paintings) just struck me. Artists who are known for certain techniques. Broad strokes. Impressionism. (In this particular instance I would defer from checking out Pointalism.) A trip to an art museum seems in order for this book. . .and maybe it will be there that you can find your order. Artwork!

I can hardly figure out what to make for dinner, much less all the things you think about. I can't decide if I'm depressed by it or inspired. :) You are amazing. All I can say is,”Oh my goodness.”
