Hi Lauren! I know what you mean, but please do not ever hesitate to give me your input on a design! I really, really appreciate and value your opinion as a designer. So, don't feel like you're just one person because it's a huge help to me. :) Thanks so much for taking the time to give me your thoughts on them. I really appreciate it and it makes my day to get great feedback from my favorite designers. :) Good luck yo you too - I love your entries!
Thanks for your help Lauren - I changed my date to a more interesting italic font and a lot smaller so it doesn't scream out now. It was music to my ears to hear that you liked the main font with the flower as it's the first time I used it. I love your style of design!

Thank you so much, Lauren - you seriously made my day! I'm sure you know I am a huge huge fan of yours - your holiday submissions are just amazing and gorgeous, and I'm so impressed you managed to do all of that and fit in a vacation as well during the challenge! Best of luck (I know you don't need it though) :)

Thank you SO much Lauren for you comment about my holiday designs! You were one of the rock star idols I referenced on FB last night. It means so much to me to have the support of such talented designers.
Hey Lauren! Just want to say Congrats on your special award for your Badge design... LOVE that design!! :)
Hey Lauren! Thanks so much for the nice note... seriously made my evening! I love all your work and was admiring your Badge and Love designs earlier today. I would buy those forsure! :)

Hi Lauren - thank you for the comment about my holiday submissions :) I've been a huge fan of your work since I started Minted....so it make my day!!
Hi Lauren! Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful holiday challenge comment! Your entries are absolutely stunning, too -- I especially love Garland. It caught my eye as soon as you submitted it.
Lauren, I am beyond honored that you would feature my font on your blog- thank you! I've been to your website before, but somehow never knew you had a blog as well. It's been bookmarked and I fully expect it to help me procrastinate on work on a daily basis. :)
hi Lauren! i submitted a design that has the ikat pattern and didn't realize you had that wining design! I love it and i will change mine... Sorry about that!! Love ALL your work by the way :)
Hey Lauren! I'd love to have lunch sometime. Things are crazy at the moment with work + freelance (I'm sure you're busy too, what with launching a business!). Anyway, I will be in touch soon. :)
it's still January, so not too late for Happy New Year wishes - thanks! :)
Hi, Lauren! Just wanted to thank you for your Christmas card - I love that you used one of your fabulous Minted designs! Marley (and you two, also) are adorable! I enjoyed your Mintie note, as well - best of luck to you on your new business ventures in 2012 (not that you need any!) I'm jealous that you spent New Year's in Austin - I miss Chuy's (and El Rinconcito, etc, etc). Austin has the BEST restaurants EVER!!!
Hi Lauren! Just dropping by to thank you for your lovely holiday card! I really enjoyed your Mintie note and hearing about your different endeavors! Best of luck at the NSS and also with the new collections you're introducing! How exciting!! Hope you're having a wonderful New Year so far, and I pray that it'll be filled with success + happiness! Thank for being such a sweet Mintie friend! Cheers!! :)
Lauren, thanks so much for the lovely holiday card. I especially liked the Palm Papers card... so chic! Wishing you all the best in the new year – I'm so excited for you with the new business venture. I know it's going to be a smashing success. I also have to tell you that I used to live off of Richmond too. I love East Dallas. I lived right off of White Rock Lake until my recent marriage. My husband already had a house in the 'burbs, ugh. We're trying to sell soon and get back to my beloved M Streets!
Hi Lauren- Thank you so much for your beautiful Christmas card! Enjoy the coming days!

Thanks Lauren!! Congrats to you too! I spent a while studying your beautiful typography when I saw it go up in the post - I don't remember seeing it in the submissions - so stunning!
Enjoyed reading your interview! We have a very similar design process! We should go out for coffee when you're in Akron next summer. Nice getting to know you!
Thanks so much, Lauren -- and to you as well! Your work is beautiful! I've lived in Akron since 2004 -- I moved here from Columbus when I married my husband who teaches at the U. of Akron. Did you grow up around here?
