Aww thanks Robert. Minted can be really heartbreaking - just when you think you have something, poof. But I guess it's that challenge that keeps me going ;) Your designs are always so spectacular. I love them. And I hope that beach design gets a late EP so I can buy it for beach party b/c it makes me want one too! :)

Is there a typo or am I missing your sweet beach design on the winners? It was so amazing - I thought it would be #1! It is so amazingly awesome!

thank you so much for your great feedback - it's funny b/c i was struggling to fit 'for' in there, and 'to' makes so much more sense!! Thank you thank you! I am such a fan of your work and so grateful :)

Hey, Robert - I saw this design today and it reminded me a little too much of your Baby Love invitation http://www.zazzle.com/baby_shower_heart_invitation_girl-161962594595520197 I emailed Minted about it, so hopefully, they will take care of it. Have a great weekend!

Just re-read that and didn't mean to imply your designs are feminine, just that 99% of the designers are female.

So I wanted to write a comment about your comment on a design and wanted to use your first name. Haha, I didn't expect to see "Robert". For some reason, I always associated "Waui Design" with more of a RobertA ... I love your work but never looked at your profile!!

Hi Robert! I just watched your Kickstarter video...and tears are rolling down my face. The fact that you're taking a risk, doing what's right for your son & family, and creating adorable art! All of it is just so touching. I'm wishing you all the very, very best & buying a shirt right now!
