Dear all of my lovely threadless pals,

First off I have to say how thankful I am for finding threadless. It is seriously the entire reason I got back to drawing again and for that I am most grateful. I've been creating things simply for the love of creating and having great fun doing so (and still am!). It's utterly unimaginable for me to think that people all over the planet will possibly own something with my name on it. That fact alone is simply mind-blowing. I can't thank you all enough for your wonderful support. It means so much to me.

A mega huge special thanks to fellow Michigander Jason Bergsieker (aka NomadSlim) for choosing one of my designs. Whoa, it's quite an honor. Thank you!! :D

Oh man, I'll never forget that Hector (against bound) was one of the first people to comment on my blogs and offer me advice about my first design, ha ha. That to me was like a great welcoming feeling. He even pointed out to me some of the other amazing artists on the site that I should check out. This community is amazing, and I'm so glad to be a part of it.

This is probably one of the most incredible things in my lifetime to happen to me. WOW. When I got the congratulations email from Mimi, I think I was ecstatic for hours on end. I still can't even believe it's happened and I've already got my shirt in my grubby little paws. It's still like a dream.

The most incredible feeling of excitement was actually going down to Chicago and look at my shirt in the store window from the street. Wow. I never thought I'd ever be doing that ever. My guy (Mike) actually got his very first threadless shirt while we were there hooray!! (can you guess what shirt it was? ha ha) I also had the chance to visit the threadless warehouse. I was so so so nervous going there, but I was warmly welcomed and we got to hang around for a little while. I can't thank everyone there enough for everything you all are the best thank you especially to Joe and Mr. Festa thanks again for everything.

Once again I can't thank you all enough for the incredible support,
Yours truly xoxo
Nichole

I have peeectures...I hope this works:

I've been saving up STPs to buy this and now that it's on sale, I only need 99 cents more. I'll bother my mom tomorrow for her credit card!

I can't wait to get it :D
