For the third year in a row, I’ve made it to an ornament
signing. It certainly helps that Hallmark has scheduled them for
Southern California every year. (And had one last year when they
normally wouldn’t have one.)
This time, the artist was Sharon Visker who creates one of
the series I collect. I only got a couple of those signed and then
had her sign event pieces and some of the standalone ornaments she’s done.
A friend of mine is involved in the club that won the
signing, and she let me sneak in to the early signing time, which is probably
the only way I got as many ornaments signed as I did. The idea was
that I’d help out as needed the rest of the day, but they had things running
fairly smoothly and didn’t really need me. I did stick around and
help break stuff down when the signing was over, so at least I earned a little
bit of my perks.
Overall, it was a fun day. Sharon is very nice,
and I had fun talking to other collectors. The weather wasn’t too
hot either, which was a huge blessing since we were outside all day.
On the way home, I stopped and hung out with my friends
Chris and Stacey for a little while, even grabbing a pizza with Chris. Since
I hadn’t seen them for a while, it was good to catch up. But it got
me home after 8, and I crashed no too long after. The day had
started early. While it was fun, boy was it tiring.
