Wendy! *happy laugh* Thank you so much!

I'm not designing them... just drawing them! Flourishes is the designer - they tell me what to draw, and I try my best to draw what I think they want!

*grin* Drawing requested stuff is a LOT easier than trying to come up with stuff to draw on my own! I'm so glad that they have given me this opportunity!

Thank you so much everyone! *grin*

Drawing and designing are different... it is hard for me to design, or come up with stuff to draw. If someone said, for example, for me to design a Father's Day set... it would take me a LONG time, 'cause I would have to make a lot of decisions, and come up with several ideas, etc. etc. But if someone (like Flourishes *grin*) asks me specifically for a shirt, a tie, and a beer mug, that is MUCH easier! I just draw... no difficult decisions involved.

Talking Congrats, Sophie!

Congratulations on your stamps, Sophie! I am so happy for you! I just checked them out, and they are so cool! You might get tired of hearing me say it, but you are so talented! It's great that you are getting paid for your talent, now! Can't wait to see future designs!

We at Flourishes are also very proud of the wonderful artwork that she has worked with us on...She has Open To Love, Love Nest, Easter Bunnies and Wedding Party, Menswear. She is very very good and we are more that happy as she says "to give her a try". Keep up the great work Sophie.

Congratulations, Sophie. Your stamps are just amazing. I just discovered your blog and love it. Is there any way to sign up for it?

I was so hoping you would design for a company.
