...and Sara laughed.

Genesis. Oh my gosh, the lies we are so quick to believe and to tell.

The Lord God and Adam, "Where are you? I know you are here." "No I'm not."... "

The Lord and Sara, "You laughed." "No I didn't."

In junior high I had a few teachers that said, "Unless you get serious you won't get anywhere in life." "Yes I will." "No you won't."

So, here I am in the middle of my art career that is basically about random things that I find funny, lots of other people do to because they buy enough of it. If my business wasn't already named Pam Warden Art (originality stops here!) it would be called, "...and Sara Laughed". An even better name if my name was Sara.

Anyway, back to my art/work story. I'd like to ask you to pray for us. We're starting a new greeting card line. My work is sold around the country and a few places in Canada (DO NOT BE PROUD PAM!!!), and many of the business's that I sell to have asked for cards  It's super expensive to start our own line and to brand me, (not like a cow, but with a recognizable image that people can only relate to me when they see it.)













This is my branding image. It you ever see this anywhere you can say to yourself, "Self, I know her, that's Pam's Blue Hair Clip Lady." And you will be right. I call her, "The Blue Hair Clip Lady". 
You can see her all over the place on my new website.


I have greeting cards with Legacy (a wonderful company) but due to a horrible contract that I signed with my old licensing agents, I'm not getting paid for any of the my work that they sell.
I own all of my images so I'm creating my own company with my own work and I'm my own boss.

 I don't ask God for huge success, but just enough, as the scripture says, "Give me neither poverty or riches; feed me with the food that is my portion, that I not be full and deny You, and say, "Who is the Lord?" Or that I not be in want and steal..."  I'd like to think that I wouldn't steal...or have amnesia.   I probably should not have said/written that last part out-loud <3. Too late :(


 So, here I am, a defender of the faith who has this worry in the back of her mind, that someday if the police were to close in on me for "stealing", and say into a bullhorn, "We know you're hiding here!!!!" I'm afraid that just because I'd think it was funny I'd say, "No I'm not."

 My teachers were right in the end :) (...) <3


Love and Kittens,
Pam

I look back on things I've written and wonder if English is really my 1st language?

Congratulations Pam on your new adventure. I'm sure you will do well! Even if you didn't put the lady with the blue hair clip on your cards I'd know it was you ~ your artwork is unique!
I think everyone needs a little funny in their life!!!
