Dear Customer,
From,
Hi Elaine! How cool, you're also from Roswell! Thanks for your kind comments on my robot. Your designs are absolutely lovely!

Hey Elaine, I know I'm late to the party, but big congrats on your win for Vegas Type! Super exciting! :)
Hi, Elaine! I modified the phone cord on "cordial hello'...let me know what you think. I like it! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you so much for your help on my Flourish design. I totally agreed with text needing to be a little more modern. I really wish i would have asked for advice earlier because i didnt leave myself the time to make improvements this morning. and as it turns out our office has recently taken away privledges to install new fonts on our computers, so I was left with limited font choices and about 30 minutes UGH. I made a few changes because i just couldnt leave it as it was. but i didnt want you to think i ignored you guys.. i apreciate the help sooo much! Thanks again!
It was so nice to meet you today, Elaine! It was so much fun creating with other people who get excited about paper projects! Love your "E." Hope we can do it again, soon. And, congrats, again, on your Vegas award! :)
Way to go Elaine! Congrats on your Vegas Type award!!!

Hi Elaine, thanks for your nice comment on my Down Under I Do! I am working on edits as we speak. Hopefully back soon for another round! Good luck in this challenge!
You are quick! No sooner was I editing the second version and there you were with the kind attention to details! You really are a design powerhouse Elaine! It's wonderful to see what you will come up with next! And thank you!
Hi Elaine, Yes i totally understand. There are some things on my designs that I wished I changed before the deadline. I only left a suggestion because you mentioned you were going to use it for the next challenge. Good Luck!
Hey Elaine! Thank you for your sweet note...hooray for UGA alums on Minted! I graduated in '09 so I bet we crossed paths a few times and may not have realized it :) I wasn't able to make it back for the last few exit shows so I feel so out of the loop. Anyways...You have some really great designs in the recent wedding challenge...keep up the good work!
Elaine, love the variety in your work. Best of luck in the design Challenge!
Hi Elaine, thanks for your comment on my Marriage by the Letters design. I've been messing around with how to treat all the letters and it's been fun and challenging! I am hoping to come up with a better design and one that won't confound the minted designers if it gets chosen! Thanks again, Carol
Hi, Elaine! Thanks for the love for my "Lark" holiday tag. Nice to see yet another UGA alum (I graduated in 2005.) Great work so far on Minted! Welcome to the community, and good luck!
