When I was growing up, a tall woman was often called an “Amazon”. Well, Amazon just made me feel like a super “Amazon”. And this one feels ten feet tall.

I’m featured on the home page of Amazon.com today!

They’re telling everyone how my small biz, EasyLunchboxes, soared when I started selling on Amazon.com, and became their #1 best-selling lunchbox.

Last Sunday, before the Academy Awards, I watched my fellow actors and actresses walk the red carpet. I felt, as I always do, a little jealous. But as far as I’m concerned, I just received the internet-equivalent of an “Oscar”.

Maybe I’ll get a chance to walk down the red carpet next year, but this year, Amazon has made me feel like a winner. (Now what do you wear to an online after-party?)

UPDATE  - Sept. 2012Amazon continues to feature my story:
