Bookmarkers Were Once a Thing I Did

Once upon a time when I lived in Yankton, South Dakota....

I created a lot of bookmakers for children...

Never made a profit. 

They took forever to hand-draw and hand-paint each one. 

The darling little humans loved them... as I also laminated each one, and added a nice ribbon... each one was fine-tuned just for that child. 

Also, I discontinued these rather quickly.

 A lot of work and no one wanted to pay the labor of tackling each one individuality. 

Everyone wanted "discounts." 

Hard to work for yourself, wanting to spread cheer far and wide, when parents complain about the price of a talent you were blessed with. 

 

Cheryl - Conlin Furniture Store

 I popped into a local furniture store in Sioux Falls, SD due to their clearance sale ... and I was greeted by a sales lady named Cheryl. As we were walking around the store, she asked if I used to work at a former company I had worked at. After a few more tidbits thrown in, she and I had met in 2016. We were coworkers. She was an amazing salesperson and I left with a much wanted purchase. I returned the next day to give her this hand-drawn, hand-painted watercolor painting for her to remember me, all these years later... and for my way, of saying "Thank You," for the deal she gave me. 

This was an 8"x10" watercolor painting created in late Fall 2023.
