Christine is a good marketer as well as a wonderful artist and person! people love to be appreciated and remembered. i give out little sets of cards and tiles for the holidays to all the people who have helped me in the previous year. many of them go to my favorite coffee shop lady, the maintenance man who goes out of his way to help me, the UPS driver who faithfully and carefully delivers all my stuff….as well as editors, shop owners, designers who refer work to me, etc. During the year I send gifts to people who refer people to me as well. it’s fun and it’s easy and people tell me all the time what they did with the gift, how much they enjoyed it, etc. Since the gift is something I’ve made…it serves to remind them of my work, too.

I can understand how Christine has made a fan of you. So true, Alyson, handwritten notes (even without a gift) are truly appreciated and relatively rare these days.

I spent over 2 hours on and off there, listening to cuts of her marvelous creations, and rereading portions of her blog. I wrote to several friends telling them that I thought I was in love (again!). Her response to your mention was a class act totally in keeping with the feeling in her music and her advice. What a remarkable person, and what a lot I have to learn from both of you.
