He took the time to print a copy of a new IOUMA Member's artwork, Jessica T, who I am also a friend of and a BIG fan of  her work.... If you have not had a chance to view Jessica's profile, please do so and get acquainted with her *o*

Thank you for the wonderful Holiday Card!  How do you find such clever pieces that fit you perfectly!!!

It's kind a disturbing that your picture is on a lot of products...the endorsers must be fighting for your next promo *o*....
