    Is that special IUOMA rubberstamp still available? We could advertise here on a specific place....!
  • Ruud Janssen

    Yes, received the e-mail with attached image. It is the stamp I meant. You had a servive people could order that rubberstamp with their own address. Would be fun to restart that again so members could order it again. Will look for the one you made for me. Is lost somewhere in the large archive I have here. Sorry for delay in answering. Quite busy and also planning a trip next day going abroad. - Ruud janssen

  • Rachel Fasig

    Hi Bill - thank you so much for the MA that graced my mailbox this week! I love the artistamps on the envelope, especially the 'Family Album'. Very cool ATCs - the first I've gotten with B&W photography and such nicely detailed information on the back. I was thrilled to find the artistamps you gifted me - these are the first I have ever gotten, so they are especially appreciated! Rachel
  • Colin Edwards

    hi Bill - yes, I am trying to spread my wings - a little! I am equally amazed to find you here too! I am not sure how often I will be able to visit but I love the quality and range of the design work I have seen here so far. All best! Colin
  • Megan Ruckus

And you artist stamp is fantastic, it was done so professionally that I didn't even realize at 1st glance that it wasn't official. Well sir, now its your turn- so expect something in the mail for you soon!
  • Clemente Padín

  • Megan Ruckus

    Haha. No, I was referring to the time years ago that you referred to in which you almost quit painting. I did forget to write "almost" though.... Ah, the power of single words, forgotten or included never fails to surprise me.
  • Clemente Padín

  • The Blessed Father

    Received your beautiful envelope and card (will blog soon). If you had seen any
    of the Blessed Father blogs you would be singing a different song. I'm sorry, but most of my art is on the sinister side including the Blessed Father. I will be sending you some of my stamps. I do most of my art on my imac. I print them and perforate myself. I usually made mini sheets with a custom cancellation (that I make). The stamps you sent are stunning, very professional. BF
