Thanks, Sarah! I thought so, but started to second guess it...like that SNL skit set in a nuclear power plant and the boss leaves instructions that "you can never have too much water" hehehe

Hey, Sarah! Thanks for your comment on my Happy Ever After design - I assume you mean the gold text on white, as submitted, right? (I had a white text on gold one in the comments). Thanks, again!!!

Sure! Your solution was much better than what I suggested - not sure why I didn't think of that...anyway, it's a fabulous design, a winner for sure! Good luck!

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your feedback on my winter wreath design! Going to play with the fonts some more tonight. After reading yuor note, I was thinking Rockwell for the family name but not sure if it will be too much with the script font I am now going with for the Happy Holidays... we'll see. Anyway, thanks again.. your work is beautiful!

Hi, Sarah! Just wanted to thank you for your holiday card - wonderful design, and I loved the kraft envelopes and all the coordinating details (like the striped washi tape and backer). You and your husband make a handsome couple - loved your photos! Much continued success to you and Belletristics in 2012!

Hi Sarah, I worked on the hand drawn hearts last night but when comparing the 2 today I think the current hearts look more like a "check." Do you think that's important or handmade more so? Thanks again for commenting.

You so sweet, Sarah! But, no, really, I was working on something, but never got it where I wanted it. Your fonts look great - that Cyclone is perfect! BTW, I have searched and searched for that Cyclone font and can never find it anywhere - do you remember who sells it? Thanks, again!

Awh, thanks so much Sarah!! I'm truly flattered because you have such gorgeous designs and your iconic typographic tree card which I've drooled over in magazines! And go Michigan! My husbands from St. Joe, so I love visiting MI and seeing the gorgeous great lakes. Take care and thanks again for your sweet comment!!
