small squee of success

saffronhareSo, last week, Rowan and I went over to client-of-client's house to do those Halloween decorations we'd offered as an Everybody's Alice promotion. I was pretty stoked, because a Realtor had won the drawing and wanted us to decorate the front door of a house she had on the market -- absolutely ideal targeting for the services.
Except I was so friggin' nervous. There are *so* many folks far more creative than I, when it comes to decorating. I was worried about overspending and under-delivering. Worried isn't the word for it; I was beside myself.
When we got there, Client K said to please NOT decorate the front porch pillars, because she was having some rehab work done on them. (That was a blessing, because she had a sizable front porch and I don't think we had enough stuff for them anyway.) When we finished, I fretted about whether it was enough or dorky or whatever. OMG, did I fret. I'm pretty sure Rowan wanted to smack me. :)
Anyway, when Client K came out to see it, she *squeaked* with delight and HUGGED me! Rowan said, "Do you believe me now, that it looks great?" (grin) When I followed up with her yesterday, mentioning that she could either keep the decorations or call me to pack them up when the season was over, she said, "Please, could we keep them? We love them!"
So I figure that's good. :)
