Trying to get back to posting

Wow! I have been away way too long. I've been working really hard on my Etsy shop and projects that are just stacking up. I was very excited to have to sale's. One wasn't on Etsy it was to a friend. She bought a half dozen of my Pena Pals. The other was my favorite piece "Coraline's squid". A gentelman bought it for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. He wrote me the most awesome letter that I'm going to have to post for eveyone to see. I was so happy after reading it, it just made my day. Here's the squid

Here's the note he convo'd me on Etsy:

Hey There,

I just wanted to say that the Coraline squid I purchased from you was amazing. I bought it as a Valentine's Day gift for my girlfriend and she loved it. I think that all of the personal touches you added to the sale (the thank you card, business card, etc.) are incredible and very sweet.

You helped make Valentine's Day very special as going to see Coraline was one of the first dates my girlfriend and I went on. You are doing amazing work and I just wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best!
