Beth B. said...
I think I've been subscribing since the begining. I LOVE getting the emails when you update your blog. I'd like to see sketches using 3-5 pictures. I love how the designers change up your sketches. Keep up the great work!
March 7, 2009 11:13 AM

And to address Beth's comment about sketches using 3-5 pictures, ironically today's sketch does allow for 3 pictures. I hope you like it! :) However, if you notice a lot of our designers will use many photos even when there is only "space" for one. Or for instance today, even though there is space for 3 photos, Ember chose to use one photo. That's what's so fun about our sketches. They don't dictate what you can and can't use. I allow the design team to do whatever they want with the sketches. I want them to show how versatile they are, and they certainly do that AMAZINGLY! I hope you enjoy that about our sketches!

Well, huge congrats again, Beth! And thanks to all of you for your encouraging words about the team and the sketches! We do truly appreciate each of you! Beth, please e-mail your address to me so that I can get your goodies off to you! Have a joyous Friday, and see you tomorrow!
