Hi Naomi, thanks so much for taking the time to give me your comments including your positive feedback on my holiday card "Peaceful Greetings". Greatly appreciated! Monica :)
Hi Naomi! I tried that a while back but then the rays get lost in the photo =/
Hey Naomi. Thanks for much for your feedback! I've made a couple changes and would love to know your opinion again if you have a minute. Thanks for all your help! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/606534
Thanks for the suggestions, Naomi! I updated my snow globe options - LMK what you think when you have a chance! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/601216
Thanks so much for your kind words on my "plus" design. I'm flattered!
Thank you so much for your comments - very kind and helpful :) I'll definitely work on the wording - thanks for the great suggestions!
I have probably taken over your profile... ;) Nevertheless thank you once again sweet friend! :) <3

Sending you a virtual hug for your comment, Naomi! xoxo
Thank you for your sweet comment on "Birthday for a King," Naomi! I really appreciate the kind feedback.
Naomi, you are the best! Thank for all your support, especially your comment on my "Leafy" wedding invite. That one has been a real reach for me and probably took me about ten times longer to design than it should have! There are so many seasoned talented artists in the wedding challenge so I am way out designed in this one but am learning so much so decided to participate anyway.. Thanks again! :)
Thank you Naomi for your likes and suggestion. I am really a big fan of your work. And i feel very special when someone like you comment/like on my work :)
Naomi, thank you a lot for liking " Soul Garden". Very much appreciated! Your work is fabulous. Good luck in this particular challenge. Those waves of yours are stunning!

Hi Naomi - thank you so much for your comment on my "No Tears" design -- I wasn't sure if it was going to make sense! :-)
Hi Naomi! Thank you very much for the help.
THANK YOU, Naomi! That line what what I needed! I was playing off "let your heart be light," but I think it will work better playing off "may all your Christmases be white."
Naomi - Thank you so much for your feedback on my "Merry Year" design! I have updated the poll based on your comment! :)
Thanks Naomi - I'm going to try out a more sophisticated color (I agree the white is nice with kraft but maybe not for such an occasion) :)
Thanks so much for the sweet review of my digital invite Harvest Swap!
Hey Naomi, thanks so much for helping me out with my paperclip design. I really appreciate the time and effort!

Naomi,you are very very sweet & extremely supportive,thank you so much :)
Thank you again for checking back on my baby announcements & for your feedback. I"ll try more layouts,trust me I lack terribly in technical skills & try to run away from textures & all these treatments.Nonetheless I was very proud of myself when I successfully tackled the foil treatment,so in a way I'm taking baby steps towards my technical deficiencies,haha,but thank you as always! :)
Thanks Naomi for your suggestion,never thought in that direction... but will definitely give it a try :) You are so sweet :)

Thank you for such a nice comment, Naomi! Fabric is such an exciting development here at minted, it was lots of fun designing patterns. I love your art, your autumn obscured is a favorite of mine!
Thanks for your lovely comment this morning, Naomi! Love your art submissions!

Thank you so much for your message, Naomi! I love your smudged series from the Domino challenge. You are so talented!
oh wow! thank you Naomi! that is a lovely thing to say. i really appreciate it.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Naomi!! I was second guessing myself a lot on whether they are too simple - but I figured it's worth putting it out there and seeing how they do!
Thank you so much Naomi. I was really excited for this challenge and felt like I was a bit more in my comfort zone with my interiors background.
Ok, just spent some time on your site. Where do I begin!? Chair Bones! Wow, amazing, I love that. Five kids!?!? Where, oh where, do you find the time? Your home sounds lovely, a dream home for me. I will check out Mozimag today too. Beautiful work Mrs Ernest. Swoon : )
Thanks so much for the nice note, Naomi! I was definitely excited about the idea of pattern/textile design so I think I might have gone a little pattern design crazy. :) Either way I enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing how Minted does with home decor. I was hoping to see some of your work in the fabric challenge ... hopefully next time? :)
Thank you, Naomi! I was really excited by the fabric challenge. Wish I'd had time for more entries. Love your watercolor gem art prints!
Totally pushed me on this challenge. I've never designed for textiles, but now obsessed. So many great designers out there and sites to check out - Have you seen these girls? http://www.thepatternbase.com I think you might like.
Thanks for the nice note, Naomi. I appreciate it!
Thank you so much Naomi! I really appreciate it. Good luck to you as well. Your work is highly nuanced and lovely.
Naomi, Thank you so much for your kinds words! I am really liking all of your detailed work!
They are really beautiful - I love all of your work, so fresh and unique :)
WOW. Thank you so much, Naomi. I love love love your work too!! It's so special that your daughter was involved in your gems. At the moment, that is my five yr old son's favorite thing to do - look for shiny, sparkly rocks! I love your photography and your linear work too. It feels wonderful to receive a comment from an artist who I really respect. I just checked out your website and it's lovely. Thanks again. Nell
Thank you Naomi for your lovely comment. I see you have a love of black line as well:). All the best with your beautiful submissions.

Thanks so much for your comments on my new work! Appreciated. Alison
Hi Naomi. Yes this contest is quite intimidating! I really like how your photography stands out. I picture it in domino. I also see it in modern nurseries or kids rooms as well as grown ups :)
Hi Naomi, thanks v. much for your input on my Queen Bee - I whited out the background pattern at your suggestion and also went for pink - slightly darker than my original -much happier with it now :)
Naomi, thanks so much for pointing that out yesterday. I really appreciate it. And even more so that you changed your comment. That really touched me. I really appreciate that. :)
thank you for your lovely comments :)
