I just wanted to tell you how successful our Open Studio was and just sing your praises for all the things that I did. And I kept thinking, Oh, this is what Miriam would do. You would be very proud. We made $14,000 before we even added up the totals of how many people want puppy portraits. I did all your strategies that you taught me, and you would be very proud.
