  • A thank you note

    thank-you-from-maya

    This small drawing is to express my gratitude to all of you who made Ceramic Lounge’s book signing such a beautiful event. I was very happy to be around lovely people like you, and you made the evening a special one.

    Now let me share with you my surprise of the month. After Pecha Kucha presentation last wednesday, I saw Ayman taking photos with his mobile phone. I asked if he could send them, and he clearly avoided giving me a clear answer. I thought alright, I hope my sister will have taken some pics at least to remember the event. This wednesday, I saw him filming again at Ceramic Lounge. This time I thought I will not ask him for the photos ๐Ÿ˜› And then yesterday, I see this post on his blog containing an INTEGRAL VIDEO OF PECHA KUCHA PRESENTATION, and a VIDEO OF BOOK SIGNING AT CERAMIC LOUNGE!

    Ayman, I am SO glad that you documented those events with videos! Even an integral of the PK presentation!! ย This is really priceless. Thank you so much ๐Ÿ™‚
