Dear Customer,
From,
Hello Erica, I was looking at the work of my favorite artists and I ran into your interview on julep (2017). So inspiring!!! I want to thank you for that because it impacted me personally. I'm going through exactly the same feelings you were of "throwing the towel" but reading your words it gives me energy to keep going!!! Thank you immensely for that!!! Such an amazing coincidence also that I see you are working for a triathlon Magazine!!!! I'm a photographer and I shot many sport events including Iron Man in Canary Islands winning 1st place with one of my images!! Sometimes energy really brings people together for a reason. So grateful to having run into your words...Elena

Hi Erica, thank you so very much for your opinion, it was so helpful! I have made the changes, hope it looks better :)
Oh my heck, no. I love that it's so random. I mean, Xs and Os aren't going to ruin it and will probably be adorable. But I love it as is!!
Hi Erica, I love your submissions to the Valentines card challenge. :) I was very hesitant to submit my card today when I saw yours with very similar design. I didn't see it until I finished mine. Please let me know if you feel it's too close... Jana
Erica, congrats on hitting 300 wins, that's so amazing - so happy for you!!
Hi Erica! Yes, I know re foil, which is why I commented faux foil as the color. We just left this AM on a 3 week road trip with our camper n are CA bound. With the kids finishing school and packing the camper I ran out of time to update to white so just said faux foil as I can’t update files on the road.
Erica, thank you SO much for the suggestion for New Years on my Counting the Hours. I think that is a fantastic idea. Sometimes its easy to get tunnel vision on a design.

Loving every single one of your valentine submissions, Erica!!!

Hi Erica, thanks so much for your like on my classroom valentine design. These are just too much fun design right? Your's are all so fun, and well illustrated! I'd love to see the option to buy a mix of designs, like the classroom valentines are sold at stores. A grouping of your designs would make the perfect mix for a class!

Thanks for the nudge to move my "more joy" design to foil, Erica! Since I had to delete the original, the "thanks" and "constructive" went with it but I wanted to let you know I appreciated it :)

And bigger congrats to you on hitting the next level and 100 wins. WOW!!!
Erica, thanks for your very sweet comment! I am excited. :)
Thanks for the feedback Erica on my Greek Key design. It's actually two thin lines after 'and', but I guess that's kinda hard to tell on the small poll images. I intentionally left out the year to do something different.If someone really wanted I was thinking they could write the date on one line with the year. Do you think it's better to include it for voting/ Thanks for your help!
Thank you and Congratulations!
Thank you so much Erica! Congrats to you as well! Your work is awesome!
Thank you so much for the congrats! But it's you who's most deserving of a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You're an amazing designer, Mintie and friend and I hope this is just one more 1st Place win of many to come in future for you.
