Photos on the wall.
>> Friday, August 13, 2010
Some of my work is being displayed on a Starbucks wall in the good ol US of A.
Cooooool.
I'm Lisa.
I transplanted to Norway in 2009 from the good 'ol USA and started this site thereafter as a means to share my thoughts, challenges and adventures (not to mention daily amusements) with those that dare to care!
Also, I am NEVER sarcastic. Keep that in mind whilst reading.

Little to big
Many of you have asked me about my title: "Little to big". My hometown in the US (WA) is lovingly referred to as Little Norway and is actually pretty gosh darn Norwegian in itself. I never really got that growing up; I was oblivious. Thought it was normal for towns to have velkommen and bøker signs around the place and that it was just random that our high school mascot were vikings. But no, that isn't normal...that is a sign of strong Norwegian ties.
Maybe it was meant to be,who knows?! But I definitely never expected my life to take me to the source: NORGE. But here I am, making the transition from Little Norway to "big" Norway.
So there's the title for ya. It's not a typo and I wasn't trying to say little TOO big! (Although more and more I am feeling how big our world really is!)

The feedback has been amazing!
LOVE IT!
Congratulations, that's awesome!
Badass! Any chance you got paid?
You so rock!! are they up for sale or just display?
How'd you manage to do that?! Way cool!
I work at Starbucks and our art wall had been lacking for a few months...so Lisa sent me some photos and I framed them. The actual framed prints are not for sale, but the customers are being directed to contact Lisa online for purchase.
And, I resent that Starbucks comment!
I guess I should have given some more info haha. . . the prints are on display and for sale! My friend Brenda works there so she got me the hook up... and no I didn't get paid! But that's ok, because Brenda gets to keep the prints and frames afterwards and maybe someone will contact me and want to buy prints!!
That's AMAZING Lisa! How cool!
that's amazing, Lis. Way to goooo!!!
