Dear Customer,
From,
thank you so much for your beautiful comment, Susan! I am over the moon - I can't believe it!!! xoxo
Oh Susan Brown, you're one of my favorite Minties. I have a photo of us that pops up my alexa show all the time. Sending you big hugs!! I missed camp this past month but I hope to reconnect on the next one. Maybe it will be in the midwest!! xoxo
Susan!! Thank you for your sweet note; missed you so much at Camp! Hopefully next year - cheers!! xo
Hi Susan, thanks so much for your sweet comment! I appreciate it. I hope you're doing well.
Hi Susan, thanks for the nice note! Not sure if I am going to Camp Minted this year. Travel is so crazy right now. I will know in the next month or so. I feel like I know you too! xoxo
Glad to help - it's so easy to do with multiple contest going on! As for Camp Minted, Karen is not going to make it. I'm still a "maybe", but goodness, life keeps getting more and. more expensive, doesn't it?
A friendly heads-up. It looks like you may have entered your lovely design "In Tiers" into the greeting card competition by mistake.
Susan thank you so much! Hope you are doing well. Chris

I wish you the best of luck as well on the upcoming challenges. You are such an inspiration. xx
Thanks for note, Susan! I am a big fan of your work :) It was lovely to meet you at Camp Minted last year. I wish wish wish I could go again this year, but I had a wedding and a big trip that took priority. Fingers crossed for next year.

Totally enjoying your holiday designs! I can see they were well thought of and greatly executed : ) thanks for your sweet comment xx
Bug me any time! Hope to see you in Vegas too. I’ll definitely be there!
Hi, Susan! Thank you for your kind note. You're speaking my language: going through so many iterations of a design that you lose all perspective (and see it when you close your eyes, haha). Good luck with the holiday challenges, and congrats on another year of earning Magenta status! ~Laura
Hi!!!! Just saw your message.Thanks for the congrats! Yes I will be in Vegas for sure. See you there! A
Thanks so much for your comment Susan. I love your work. Your “head in the clouds” design is one of my favorites. Best of luck to you as well!

Hope you are defrosting this weekend and everything was ok for you during the polar vortex. Best, Jackie
Hi - many thanks for your like and support and best wishes and luck in the challenge - Amandaxx
Hi Susan - many thanks for all your likes and very best wishes for a happy new year - Amanda xx
Hi Susan, thanks so much for your like on "Birthday Bus"! I love your wonderful entries. All the best to you.
Wow, Sue, that is really kind. Thank you. I had to miss my grandma's funeral, which was really sad, but my husband had to leave town and we couldn't afford for me and 3 kids to fly across the country to the funeral. But I am alright nonetheless. It's better now that it's over and I don't have to wish I could go so much! And that design is really striking! Hope it (and your others) do really well for you! Thanks again for your kindness. That was really so sweet.
Another one!! Out of the box award sue!! Congrats :)
Congrats on your greeting card special prize!
Hi Susan! Thank you for the message. Big Congratulations to you on your recent win milestone! - 205 wins! - Just awesome! I love your recent greeting card wins, and am a big fan of "Iconic Image". It is such a great idea, and very well done. :) . I hope you have many many sales this season!
Happy Belated 200 wins Sue!! Thanks for the sweet message on my page :) Miss you too! PS. I missed your santa is so last year entry, too clever!
Congrats on your greeting card wins, Sue!! It was fun working together on that challenge. :)
Hi Susan, a little delayed congrats on 200 milestone!!! So very well deserved. I love your thoughtful designs! Best of luck.
Congratulations on 200, Susan!
Sue- I'm sorry for the delay in responding! I had to look hard, really hard for the design you were referring to. I vaguely see what you're talking about but nothing to worry about here! I usually hide most of my designs most of the time in large part because it stresses me out to worry about overlap with others! I hope you did not consider mine too close to yours? Regardless, love your entries for save the dates and best of luck! xoxo
Thank you so much for the like on my design for the nursery challenge I went to your page and love your designs
Susan, your kind words mean more to me than you'll ever know - thank you SOOO much for leaving such a thoughtful message! If anything, I find myself being in awe of your designs, always being on the forefront of new styles and trends. I will treasure your words - thank you, Susan!!
Hi Susan - thank you so much for your likes and support and good luck in these challenges - your designs are lovely - Amanda
Thank you!! I totally see it now. It's like the top mimics the bottom almost. A little too cutesy for me. I'm going to go with that photo since it was the clear winner, but darken the sky so it works better.
Thanks for your comment, Sue! But I'm not sure which photo you meant! I could tinker to make sure it doesn't create a bad shape at the top.
Thank you so much, Susan, for the encouraging likes. I learn so much through this community and the positive support.
Would love that, Susan! I enjoyed what little time we had together and hope to see you again soon - you are just so lovely!
Hi Susan! Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate and cherish your comment. I have the same feeling, either I go for the dramatic blue or play it safer with the white background.
Thanks so much for your input Sue. It was so lovely to finally meet you face to face and chit chat like old friends in Vegas!!
Thanks Susan! Happy to be back and always love to see your work! :)
Thank you so much Susan, for taking the time to comment on my design. You are an inspiration and yes, I had to deny myself to take a picture and put myself out into the world.
Hi Susan thanks for taking the time to feed back on Delicate and Leafy - I really appreciate it and good luck with yours too :)
Sue, you are the absolute best. You always know just want to say to make me feel like a million bucks haha! I'm such a fan of your work and of YOU. It was great to get to see you again!
Hi Susan - many thanks for your like on "stars" and "rainbow" - it's truly appreciated - best wishes - Amanda
Hi Susan, I saw your NY card today too, and thought how clever it was to include Christmas into the mix! I love your card! (and OF COURSE I have no problem with it!!!) What can I say? Great minds think alike ;-) See you in a few weeks in Vegas?
Thanks for liking my baby shower entries and your nice comment, Susan :) Congratulations on your wins - I'm especially fond of bold basics! x
Thank you Susan, for the like on "Colors of Christmas". Love your new home card. All the best.
I just saw the comment you left on my profile Sue! I *loved* chatting with you too. Here's to many holidays wins for us both!! Hope to get another chance to hang out.
So nice meeting you today!
Thanks for the comment Susan. I sure struggled with holiday cards in general this year so your words were a boost! I think I saw your name on the rsvp list for the MYK breakfast at NSS? I'm attending this year (for my day job) so it will be nice meeting everyone in person.
Thank you so much Susan for the like of my design Joyful Baby! Your designs are always a wonderful inspiration!
Hi Susan, Thanks so much for your note a few weeks ago. It's always nice to hear from you and especially to hear some words of encouragement. Your holiday submissions look fantastic!!! Thanks for being such a kind, friendly mintie always. Take Care! Michelle
Thankyou for your prompt feedback, always appreciate it! These designs were produced at 3:00 a.m,hence when fellow Minties pointed out,I'm tweaking them now. Haha!
Hi Susan thanks for your input on my leafy antlers poll!
Susan, thank you so much for the kind words. I am looking forward to seeing you at NSS as well this year! x
Thank you for the like on "Floral Christmas". So great to wake up (9 h time difference to CA) and see likes on my design and that it was picked. Happy.
Hahaha!!! Thanks for the giggle <3
You're awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to give insightful feedback. It is always helpful and valued, Susan! :)
Thank you, Susan, for the like on "Cell love". I like the card mostly because of the great copy. It was a new experience to design something with a given copy.
Thankyou Susan for your prompt feedback on my color poll for my Scrabble Due Date design, I know what you mean,I wanted it simple b/w but the color lover in me was itching to use some bold/contrasting colors... haha! I love your entries!
Thank you so much for your message, Susan! Really loving your new three flower entry, so sweet and beautiful. You do wonderful work! I am very much hoping to become a Minted designer soon so have been working very hard on my entries, means a lot to hear you like them! Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much for your message, Susan. Your always find words to brighten up my day.
Loving your Target submissions Sue, they are so good! Are you going to NSS this year, I'm planning on making the trip and it would be fun to see you again at one of the events!
Yes I am, would be so wonderful to see you! I sent you a friend request on Facebook - lets chat via message on there, and meet up if you end up going!
Ahh!! I think you are totally right about the foil!! Thank you for bringing it to my attention ~ xoxo
Susan! Did I ever respond to you about your comment from way back in the Valentine's compettion that you had family in Stratham?! I'm so sorry if I didn't!! Hope they liked it here. Portsmouth NH, down the road is my favorite. I've never been to Wisconsin... Cheers!
Hi Susan! You were right, definitely from Wisconsin! Originally, the northern part too. Hahah. Thank you for the warm welcome. Excited to be here!
Hi Susan! Thank you for your like on my "Hello Sweetie" entry. I'm honored. Best of luck! :)
thanks so much Susan it is so nice for you to always be in my corner it is so great to have such a nice compliment dear friend. It is so fun to keep on learning new things in class to try at minted thanks
aww thanks for your note! I'm pretty sure YOU are the sweetest :) Hope I get to see you at this year's nss!
Susan, my friend. I'm so glad I can remind you of your greatness. The bag is so lovely. Understated is often times more dramatic and impactful - for me anyway- so I love it. xoxo
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for the note! And no worries! I just looked at the designs that you mentioned (I actually had not seen yours until you mentioned it), and yes, they do use the same photos and have some similar design aspects, but I definitely didn't think they were the same/too similar. :) I think that student in the photos was one of the few that had a good serious of photos so it was bound to happen that the same photos were used. And as you had mentioned, I'm pretty sure I had mine hidden until the very end so I know any similarities would have been completely coincidental. :)
Congrats on our wedding wins, Susan! They are beautiful!
Hi Susan, Thanks so much for the like – very much appreciated! & I really admire your work!!
Thanks for your nice note, Sue! I miss being your Minted buddy! :)
Oh thank you Susan! Thats a big compliment all the way around! I actually have 4 wins.....so very excited and just thrilled. Thanks for thinking of me. Congrats on your win as well!!! All the best, Alison
Susan, thanks for the terrific comment. All the best to you.
