Dear Customer,
From,
Thanks for all your support on my latest entries Laura! Appreciate it! Hope you're enjoying the last bits of summer!
Thanks so much Laura for the like on my “Evening Stroll” submission! It means a lot! Your work is beautiful, I wish you the best of luck in the challenges.
https://www.minted.com/design-rating/1419127 DO you think this works... I'm doubting myself... Thankyou!
*it was getting too much on me (that's what I meant...) auto correct!
Thanks for checking up on me my friend. I am taking a break from social media, it was getting to mess I deactivated all my social media accounts. Everything is alright, I'm just spending more time with family, focusing on design (rather disciplined design time) and taking care of health, eating right, sleeping well.... I hope you hav been doing well. Much love. <3
Hi Laura!! Thanks so much for the likes on my 2 custom kids art! It means so much to me coming from the queen of fonts. All the best, A
Thank you, Laura, for the like on my holiday entry "Jolliest". Your lettering is sooo Beautiful! Looking at it makes me feel happy. Wishing you all the best in the challenges:)
You made my day Laura! And to be fair, you have an amazing group of designs yourself. xoxo
Hi Laura, I enjoyed hearing back from you. I catch a few artist's locations in and around KC - I just assumed there was already a steadfast Mintie group where you guys would get together and hang out, talk shop. I've connected with an artist from Lawrence only on Minted for now. Her name is Amy Gray (maybe you already know each other?). She submits to the art challenges, talented abstract work. She won on a few West Elm challenge, always wondered if her work showed up at that West Elm store out in Overland Park. Did you grow up in KC or go to school in the area? I liked UMKC quite a bit, a low key school but great instruction. It's changed a lot now. What is your daughter studying? There was a guy who taught art at JoCo but summer classes at UMCK. I took his figure drawing class and it was amazing. I want to say his name is Sergie Davidov but I can't recall entirely. Haven't thought to look him up in a while. I came very close to pursuing a graphic art degree at JoCo and sometimes kick myself for not doing it. That was after music. We always come down to Missouri in the summer and holidays but I haven't been back lately since I mostly stay home to take care of the pets. I need to get back though, pay a long trip to the Nelson. If I do I'll be sure to let you know, I'd love a mini-meetup. It is such a cray time. Hope Minted doesn't get too affected by it and makes drastic changes. Stay in touch when you can and I'll keep alert of your entries. I hope I have enough appetite for the Xmas Card challenges this year. It's hard keeping up with so many of them, challenges that is. And I haven't done well with the graphic design so I need to up my game. Be safe and best wishes! - Eric
Hi Laura, just wanted to reach out real fast - I always love your entries, so creative. I see you're in Lenexa. I used to live in KC for many years (UMKC Conservatory of Music graduate), even did a stint in Olathe for a bit at the high schools. My in-laws live in Mission so I make it back from time to time, keeping up with the state of things there. Just crazy. Stay safe!
Hi Laura Thanks so much for all your kind likes on my art submissions! I love your entries, especially your crinkly flowers :-) Good luck, xo, C

Thank you, Laura, for the like on my "Pool Party". I needed to do something summer, because we had such a long winter and now spring is starting in Berlin.
Hi, Laura :) I wondered if you have time in your busy schedule to design one card for one of my new, original copy for this year's GC challenge?
