Dear Customer,
From,
congratulations on reaching the 1000 win milestone!! Incredible
Hi. I love your designs, especially Rehearsal Stack. I was looking closely at the lettering (I'm studying typography right now), and I noticed you are missing an A in the word Rehearsal, which will affect your final design, since the lettering is so precise. Thought I should let you know. :+)
Huge congrats on your 700 win milestone, Rachel!!! That's just bonkers!! It looks like you have an incredible holiday collection launching! It's just beyond impressive! Congrats on all your well-deserved picks and wins!! You will forever be the Queen of Minted!!!

Hi, Ms. Nanfelt :) I love your work -- and I wondered if you have time in your busy schedule for collaboration in the GC challenge. I have some new, original copy (that aren't on the list) that I'd love to have you design for :) If you have a few spare moments, please let me know so that i may send them to you via email or Facebook (I'm "Marie Ag" there). Thank you, Ms. Nanfelt, for your consideration. Sincerely, Mariecor Agravante :)
My old Wacom tablet has finally given out so I’m researching what I might get to replace it. I like your illustrations and wanted to ask what tablet/programs you use/work in to create your pieces.
LOVING your birth announcement entries. <3
Your designs are amazing! Words can't describe how beautiful they all are. You are an extraordinary artist!
I do not know how you do it, I am ALWAYS you biggest fan, but you have never blown me aways like you did with this challenge. What a repertoire friend! You are so freaking amazing :)
Hi Rachel, I'm blown by your holiday challenge entries, as always
Rachel, I can't tell you how much your kind words mean to me. Thank you so much for taking the time (I know how precious your time is with two little ones ;) ) to write it. I think you are so amazingly talented, everything you design is like magic! :) x
Congrats on big 400. You are an inspiration
Rachel, Many congrats on the massive milestone '400' and wish you many many more. its actually a given considering how fabulous each and every piece you put out :). your designs really bring as much joy and excitement to me (and i'm sure to many others) as they do to you when you make them. Best always!!
Congratulations on your 400 wins!! Your designs are beautiful, and your success is very inspiring to someone who just entered my first challenge ever. :-) Good luck in the coming challenges. I love all of your entries but "Jungle Pals" is particularly special! Best, Rennie
Beautiful submissions in the current wedding challenge, Rachel! Always looking forward to seeing your work!
Your experiments with Typography make your designs stand out. You say so much in compact space, and that too without being overwhelming -- It's amazing.
Thank you so much for the kind comment <3 I'm so excited for you, your work is so beautifu!!
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your sweet comment! Huge congrats on 1st place! Your work never ceases to amaze me. Always lovely, innovative and spot on:)
Hi Rachel, You're blessed with an amazing talent, I'm a long-time admirer of your work! I've left a couple thoughts on your submissions but they are just thoughts, your work is perfection! : )
Thanks for your comment! It always feels risky to try new things for wedding or holiday (so much pressure!) but I'm glad you like them! Your submissions have been looking so good too!
Thanks for your kind (and helpful!) comment on my "Russian Christmas" design, Rachel! I've always admired your work, and I'm totally going out on a limb with this design, so I really appreciate your feedback!
Thanks so much for the feedback on my entries, Rachel! I had been thinking the same thing about losing the flowers on my 'Bold botanicals' so I played around a bit more and am much happier with it http://www.minted.com/design-rating/592648. Your entries are stunning as usual- how you come up with fresh ideas that still maintain your distinct style just blows my mind, but you do every challenge (and I don't even hate you for it, ha!)
Hi Rachel, You may hear this often but it is worth repeating. I admire your talent and the consistency in your work. Seems not one appealing piece goes public without your loving consideration. And we benefit. : )
Thank you so much for the kind comment - it means so much to me! Your 'how loved you are' is truly a masterpiece! You are so lovely and talented :)
You're so considerate :) Thankyou so much for appreciating my work,coming from you,I'm honored :)
Hi Rachel, (firstly I simply admire your work,you're a creative genius) I was browsing through designs in the Baby Shower challenge,(getting ready to vote actually) & realized that one of your designs is similar to what I submitted. Although,I even checked the submission dates. Please let me know if its too similar so that I could remove it. :) http://www.minted.com/design-rating/548406
Thank you so much for the sweet comment on my designer page. That pottery barn challenge is SOOO huge, the fact that I had anything stand out makes my day. Thank you a million times and best of luck in that big one. You've got some great ones in there as well. :) Happy Monday!
I'm sure you know how to spell very well, you've just joined the motherhood club where your brain is no longer your own! It's a steep decline from here... fortunately you still mange to put out beautiful, unique designs. Loving your collection!
Thank you so much for the kind comment on my "Woodland Wreath" design, Rachel! That means everything! I loved all of your designs in this challenge and a big congrats on your wins! :)
Love all your self-launch items, Rachel! Wishing I had thought to shop them sooner!! :)

Rachel thanks for the suggestion about a different font on my design! Totally agree - now to pick one ha ha!
Rachel, thanks so much for your sweet comment! I admire your work so much. Your typography and florals are always so amazing. I have a couple copies of your "most wonderful time" prints that are packed away with my holiday decorations. I look forward to displaying every year! Thanks for being such an inspiration :)

Thank you so much for the nice comment, it means so much to me!
:)
Thanks for the sweet comment and big congrats to you as well! BTW, I got a small print of 'Rules to Live By' framed on my desk at work.. it might be a children's print, but it sure makes me happy everyday;)
you know what's really weird.. this: http://www.minted.com/design-rating/237629 and your's this: http://www.minted.com/design-rating/236267 HAHAHA. Mine is not as good as yours but i know exactly how you did it. LOL.

I'm in love with all of your patterns! Beautiful work.
I am in love with so many of your fabric entries. I cannot wait to see the results. Best of luck! :)
incredible entries for domino.
Hello Rachel! Your work is just awesome!
thank you for helping with my sea flowers poll today! i really appreciate and value your feedback. ...and I also love a great pink/red combo! :)
Beautiful photo :)
you make me sit here and scrutinize over your designs to look for reasons to give you at least a few 4's between all the hundreds of 5's i always give you. but I guess if it's that hard to find reason Im just fooling myself. HAHA. you know i always love your work, and you inspire me.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my polls! I value your opinion and trust your instincts. I'm grateful for your feedback!
Hi Rachel, Rebecca. I 'm loving the texture of your hand written designs. are these hand painted in water color or painted digitally? If digital would you mind sharing your trade secrets? Brush sets, techniques? Would love to achieve similar effects. Thx! Christina Enciso
Hi Rachel & Rebecca. I pretty new to the Minted world and am an avid fan of your work. I know this is a bit of an informal diversion from an actual "buddy" assignment, but if you have a moment to take a look at this hand-scriped design and let me know if you think the scale of the script works, I would be most appreciative! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/172593 Sincerest, Christina
I like your advice that you give... to not be afraid to take risks and follow what you love! I feel that is what I am doing being newly minted!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment Rachel, I'm such a fan of your work- it really meant a lot! Can't wait to see what you come up with for holiday this year, I'm sure it'll be gorgeous as usual :)
Thanks so much Rachel, I appreciate it só.
I'm really admiring your art prints in the west elm challenge! beautiful work.
Rachel, thank you so much for the sweetest comment you left - you are one my very favorite Minted designers who admire, so that means a lot coming from you! I only wish I had done something fun before the file requests started rolling in ;) Your wedding designs were stunning (as usual!) so I know they will be a big hit with brides. I hope you'll go to the NSS sometime so I can finally meet you!
Thank you for taking time to comment, i really appreciate it, Rachel. :) Congrats and ten times congrats to you again! you always, over and over again, impress with new designs and fresh new work. I can just look at your work the whole day. Incredible.
A big big congrats on ALL your recent wins!!! So many beautiful designs that will make so many people so happy to send out. You have such an amazing style that I so love seeing!
Thanks so much Rachel! And I think I lost count somewhere around your 4th design in the top 30... so many picks, and they're all so beautiful! :) Huge congrats to you!
Just wanted to drop by and say how much I admire your work - you are truly amazing! It's incredible not only for how beautiful it all is, but how much you create and with such quality and uniqueness, wow!
Thanks so much for being ok with this Rachel! Always love seeing your submissions .... perfection! :)
Hi Rachel, I've been working on a similar design to your 'You're Purfect' design for the last couple of days. Honestly, it probably isn't as lovely as yours but I would really like to know if you would mind if I went ahead and submitted it. If you do mind, it's ok.
Rachel, just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of your work. Your work is simply stunning. I love all you do. Cheers ;)
Rachel, Thanks so much for taking the time - let me know what you think? http://www.minted.com/design-rating/129931

When you have the time can you tell me about font placement thanks
I had the most random dream with you in it last night—I dreamed we discovered we were second cousins at a family bbq at your house. You lived in a giant house right next to the ocean btw :) And then you showed me what you were working on, which happened to be Berenstain Bears wall decals. Ha, oooh dreams. Just thought I'd share :)
Thank you so much for the sweet compliment, Rachel! You are an inspiration, and it means a lot coming from you! :)
