Conference update

What a wonderful conference! It was so nice to physically meet many of the people I've talked to online. The workshops were fantastic, as were the keynote speakers! Very inspiring! I had my portfolio reviewed, and have a whole lot of work ahead of me. That's both good to hear and a little hard to hear. Ah, color theory here I come!

But the best part of all was that I won the NESCBWI 2009 Ann Barrow Illustrator Scholarship!! What an honor! I just hope I can make the committee proud of me!

Also, a very big congratulations to my friend Ann Marie who won an award for her wonderful "Many Voices" poster!! I'm so proud of her! Yay Ann Marie!!

It was so great spending the day with members from my Southern NH Critique group! They are all SOOO talented! What a fun day!!

NESCBWI Conference 2009

Yikes! It's here: the NESCBWI conference. I'm wicked excited and nervous all at the same time. I can't wait to go to the workshops and get some great info that I'll be able to apply to my illos. I can't wait to meet some of the people I know of only through my online groups. I'm slightly intimidated to amongst so many amazingly talented people.... "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy." I can't believe people from all over New England are going to be here. I can't believe I'm entered in the poster contest, and that I'm going to have my portfolio reviewed by an AD! Wow and double eeks.

Take a deep breath, deep BREATH, DEEP BREATH.... AGGGGGHHHHHHH!
