*thanks to anne bocci boutique for buying 4 of my cards and selling me the cutest dress ever. And for treating me like a human.
*special thanks to the sales clerk at presents of mind who actually let me finish my sentences and looked at my cards even though she had absolutely no authority to buy them...and for laughing at the ones that I, too, think are funny.
**extra special thanks to mom for being my best client and buyer :)
***extra extra special thanks to Lavenda Memory, Amy Rispler, Staci Janssen, Erin Underwood, Caylan Wagner, Crystal Berry, Rachel Short and Tracy Zaits...whom whether they knew it or not were the muses for all my pregnant lady designs.
****extra extra massively important special thanks to Kenny Kupelian and Beth Winstead for manual labor, moral support, and inspiration behind my drawings of umbrellas, walkmans, unicorns, stickfigures, nintendo controllers, hugs, and wine glasses. You guys are my two favorites and I wouldn't want to watch "Joe Dirt" with anyone else!

um, can I say that your business cards are a HIT. i need more to hand out. :)
cI am sorry that you are a starving artist. Have you tried eating JELLO?? It will perk you right up. I read all that you wrote and I can not believe you ever thought of yourself as ugly, ungainly etc. etc. Goodness gracious I hope you don't feel that way anymore. I think you are a beautiful young woman and a great artist and you write the funniest items ever. Love you alot! Nanny
