Spreading a little warmth...

It is always good to receive positive feedback and kind comments. Thank you to Patricia of Art Jericho Gallery, Oxford for sending this e-mail today ...

"I delivered the Big Boy print today - and was with the customer when she unwrapped it.  It was beautifully packaged and she was so pleased that you had included the biographical
sheet, and the little complimentary camera print. These details make a big difference to people, and create such happiness and good will. Thank you very much, for the efficiency and the presentation."
