#40100 - 03/16/05 10:10 PM Okay to brag a little?
copygal Member Registered: 03/05/05 Posts: 134 Loc: Texas	If I can brag just for a moment. My first client okayed and paid for a brochure I did for him. Did a mock-up on Publisher just to show him how it would look, format-wise, and he loved it exactly the way it was, and is having it printed as is. You should have seen me doing the happy dance all the way home behind the wheel of my little red Cavalier. It was a small assignment and brought in a few bucks, but it proved to me that I can do it, and that's worth even more. I'm going to a newbie meeting at the Chamber of Commerce at the end of the month, so exciting! Wish me luck! Thanks for letting me brag! Alanna

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	Congrats Alanna! I love using Publisher - simple to use and so many possibilities. I realize you just did your mock-up on it, but it does a great finished product too. I've done all my church's brochures and our newsletter using Publisher. Keep up the good work and best of luck with your first Chamber of Commerce meeting too! Lots of good things happening for you it would seem!

copygal Member Registered: 03/05/05 Posts: 134 Loc: Texas	Greetings All, Thanks for the good wishes and encouragement. After the newbie meeting is a Power Networking Meeting, where you sit with several other members at a table and give a one minute commercial about your business, pass out cards, etc. Then everyone changes tables, meets a new group and repeats their commercial. A little scary, but exciting too. Yesterday, I worked up a brochure for myself and decided I'd pass out those, along with business cards, and pens with my name and contact information on them. What do ya'll think? TIA for your help, Alanna
