Moving on up :)


At work yesterday my boss called me into his office and offered me a new position at the company! For the 3 months I've been with the company I've been working as a Lead Generation teleservice rep, making calls to Interior Designers / Architects and retailers across the country to see if they utilized artwork and if they did I got them more info about us. When I was hired they were aware of my background (Art & Architecture), experience (7 years at an Architecture firm) and my BA in Graphic Design, so my boss said he was quite confident that I would eventually be able to move up into maybe an Art Consultant position. Well just recently a position opened up in their Prepress department and they needed someone with Photoshop experience who could work with their Print Clients/Artist, scan and color correct their artwork - so they offered it to me! :) I could still keep my part time hours, which is great, and they are willing to have me go through some Photoshop refresher training (paid for) so I feel comfortable moving into the position. I feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity, and it's great getting "back into" my passion line of work. So I just wanted to share the great news! Thanks y'all for being so supportive of me. I love y'all! Please visit my company's website, they just launched a new update of the site: www.newerahd.com. I wanted to share a piece from a New Era artist, Karen Wilkerson, the above piece is titled, "Evening Allure II".

That's great news Lissa.

Alex liked watching Maddie say her prayer in the next post. He wants more videos of James and Maddie on the trampoline.

Hope you guys can make it out here next month.
