Seems like this little bird wasn't paying too much attention to Mom when she was giving their first flying lesson.... and now he is not too sure about the jumping part either :o)

You talkin' to me? Please listen to your belly. Trusting my gut was not an easy lesson for me to learn. Sometimes I still find myself ignoring my inner voice, trying to "make things work". I'm getting better at listening. And thankfully, my inner voice is tenacious. And loud. :)

Sitting next to Emily in pottery class was a very VOCAL experience.

Theme- Lesson Learned

One of the major lessons I've learned so far is to make sure to know the amount of "bleed" a client wants for their final art. I had to learn the hard way not to make assumptions.

I was working on a project a couple of years ago where I wasn't given the bleed measurements but decided to go with the general 1/4'' . WRONGO.
It turned out that they needed 1/2 inch bleed all the way around and it made for a nightmare project since I work with felt. The AD was very stressed , insisting that she had sent me the bleed requirements that I hadn't followed.

Had she? No.

I didn't make an issue of it because I felt that I should have contacted her when I didn't receive the info. More importantly, I would have had an email trail to fall back on if there was a conflict.
Now I make sure to do this if it isn't provided. Most often I'm told , "Oh, just a 1/4" will be fine", but I don't want to take it for granted after that experience.
