I always enjoy looking at your cards. You have mastered the "copic" technique, use wonderful color combinations, and always pull off a new twist on a card sketch. I hope you believe in the old motto "imitation is the best form of flattery". I certainly try to use your cards for inspiration.

If I weren't a demonstrator already I'd sure be eager to become one straight away on your team! (Those who aren't demos, and are reading this..don't you LOVE his enthusiasm??) Mike, I find your joy of creating so inspiring, and your detailed explanations of how to recreate what you did, or even how to use a tool absolutely wonderful. Your blog is always a treat to visit!! : )

"Thanks for checking with me about the stamp set. I really meant to let you know that I had received it and to thank you for the enclosed note. That was most thoughtful of you. The set arrived in great shape and it was just as cute as I had hoped it would be. I could not believe how very clean the wood was...I don't think you ever used it! I have 7 grandchildren and the youngest are 3, 3 1/2, and 4 and this set will be perfect for class favors for them for at least 3-4 more years. Thank you very much for excellent service. Blessings to you and yours."

Don't miss The Ink Pad, a cute little stamp store at 37 7th Avenue. Ti's a cute little place not far from the area of the (former) World Trade Center. I know it's nit Su stuff, but they have some wonderful stuff anyway.

Enjoy! I have a FL address now, but NY will always be home. Hope you get the opportunity to see the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. That's one of the things I miss most about not being in NY at Christmastime.
