I got a call back from Karen today...
It started a few weeks back when Karen came in and asked who did those "really neat" drawings all over the wall. I told her they were mine and she asked if I have ever done Artist Trading Cards before.
I love doing Artist Trading Cards.
I knew once I met Karen something awesome was going to happen involving this. She had the idea of putting a box here at the store for artists in this small town, middle of nowhere place to come together, have fun, and trade cards with one another. She said she was going to get a hold of Ann and see if it was possible. A few weeks later I realized that we have a few writer's groups here and the ever famous "Christian Knitters Group" *shudders*, but absolutely NO artist groups! Not even the Art's council has groups other than a few workshops here and there. It was then I thought "how great would it be to have an actual Group or a Club dedicated to this?!". So, I talked it over with Ann. She said this idea was wonderful, but I still had to contact Karen to see if it was ok. I didn't want to be stealing ideas or anything, so I attempted to call her back a few times.
Today was the day I finally got a hold of her....She said that was an awesome idea!
So, It is now my soul duty to have to put together an "Artist Trading Card" group here at the Bookstore. I am responsible for organizing, advertising (with some help from Karen since she has Art's Council ties), and hosting each meeting...
I am SO stoked.
