Hi Kelly,

Happy New Year to YOU!

I am compelled to email you b/c I saw that I was FEATURED ARTIST for a day (24 hours) on ImageKind and I was so excited.!  Being a new artist/painter/photographer/digtital artist, I was beside myself when I signed on and saw ME!

Thanks so much for the honor…and it really is an honor for me.  I am new to all of this so every little “lick” I can get is appreciated.

 Not sure how you decide, but since I’ve been in IK, I have realized that you try to treat each and every artist with the same compassion and fairness, and of course, I think that is wonderful. Please know that I am thrillled that my “time” came as quickly as it did.   To see “me” as a featured artist just rocked my world and made me cry.  I’ve only been considering painting since the summer of 2006; photography since fall of 2006, and certainly digital art since later than that….

 I think your site is hands down.  I have been dabbling with Art.com for several months, and I have yet to join.  I have yet to join Cafe Press; but gave that up quickly due to wonderful and unexpected sales on a site called Zazzle. (My sales have been through the roof!)

 Anyway… I remember emailing with you about some issues I had and I just want to Thank you for your kindnesses and concerns.  It is nice to know that IK has folks that GENUINELY care about the artists that post to their sites… (did I call myself and artist?)

 I would have never purchases a platinum for me and another artist if I did not BELIEVE………

 Keep doing what you are doing.

Happy New Year,

Donna
