I survived my first Fan Expo!!! o.O

So, the Toronto Fan Expo has come to a close, and 

I am feeling so grateful to have had the opportunity 

to participate.  Being my first time on the other side 

of the table, I can say I learned a lot, and had an

absolute blast.  There were so many awesome people

in attendance this year, and it was such a pleasure 

chatting with all of them.  

I was especially taken by how appreciative people were

 of my art.  I don't mean that they simply liked it, but that 

they actually thanked me for doing it!  It blew me away!

Honestly, this is what I do to keep sane, but the enthusiasm

for my work was quite stunning.  And I am so appreciative 

of all the support and kind words shared by complete 

strangers.  It has definitely increased my drive to create.  

If for nothing else, than to not let anyone down!

Now that the show's over, I have a TON of work ahead

of me.  I've been invited to vend at a handful of other 

events.  So I'll a be looking into the viability of participating

in those.  I'll keep you posted as to where you can find me 

again. >.o  I'm also looking at selling my stuff through a 

couple of stores in my neighborhood.  Again, you'll know as I

 know.  Lastly, I did a lot of networking at the show.  So,

I'll be following up on those fronts to see what can come 

of it.  

Overall, I'd say the show was a resounding success.  So 

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it so.  Whether 

you were among those I coerced into working insane hours with 

me to help with preparations, or you were my awesome neighbors 

at the show who made for excellent company, or YOU, the fan, 

who is the whole reason the Fan EXPO is worth coming to 

in the first place. Whoever you are, THANK YOU for your 

support.  I promise, I'll keep it coming.
