Would you like fries with that?

So, orders for boxes keep coming in. It's strange, really, since this all started with me getting permission. The one for Back Bay is done and planted and they are talking about planting another. The Lynnhaven House was planted today. The two Norfolk boxes are still in the works. Nelson is building the actual boxes to fit the locations and I will make the logbooks once I know exactly how much space I will have inside.

But the most interesting "order" of all came from Portsmouth. There are four museums which are run by the same organization and they would like two boxes at each location; one outside and one inside. Outside would feature my carves and inside would have their own custom made stamps. (Would you like fries with that?) I was already stressing over the gas to drive back and forth ("Remember, this is a hobby, Jennifer!" Nelson keeps saying.) until my contact tells me that they plan to pay for the materials (carving material, logbook, and boxes)! Woohoo! I can go for that!

Nelson says to be careful about losing control of my own plants. I think it great that they want some ownership of them because it means they will look after them for me. What do you all think?
