At 11:55pm on March 24, 2010, sharon kennick said…: thanks for looking for it mara. i have been too sick to get out to the post office and mail it off. i'm feeling much better today, however, and should be able to go out either tomorrow or friday. will give a holler when i can get it mailed. it should only take a day or two to arrive from northern arizona. being sick sucks...

They also run a lot of deals and freebies (like rubber stamps)! I go between sending reproductions, adding to the reproduced art and send a few originals from time to time. It's all good! Happy New Year!
