A Letter to Friends, Followers, Fans and Guests

Dear Friend, Follower, Fan or Guest -

I can't tell you how much we are enjoying meeting you and talking to you on Twitter and Facebook, and via our blog too. We are honored that you chose to follow or fan or friend us. Maybe you're a guest who quietly peeps out what's going on and says not a word, just because you want to be in the loop. That's fine too! So many of you have openly supported us and bought from us and told others about us. And when we meet you, it's a thrill to learn that while many of you are mum online, you are quite vocal in person! It makes us feel good, like we aren't just speaking into a black hole.

So why the letter?

Well, if you don't already subscribe to our newsletter, then you may not have heard yet. (That's one of the perks of subscribing. You hear first!) We just wanted to let you know that we value your very presence. And to prove it, we want to give this greeting card jigsaw puzzle to the first 10 people to comment on this post telling us they want it. It says, "Best Wishes on Your Special Day!" You can write your own message on the back and it come with an envelope.
This way you get to test the product for yourself and IF YOU WANT, you can pop back online and review it for all the world to see. (Maybe you'll even subscribe to the newsletter to keep up with us? It's right over there to the right.)

*Honesty in your review is appreciated, but you know. Let's respect each other too, if you don't mind. ;-)

A Few Changes

As part of our continued effort to show you we appreciate you, we have been making a few changes. Well, maybe not changes, but it's all an extension of our growth. Many of you have been with us too long not to get perks for that. We had to think long and hard about how to do this because we want to make sure EVERYONE knows they are valued here. We also want to make sure you understand the different levels of value that we appreciate and want to give back to you for that. So just because you have taken the first step to follow us/subscribe to our newsletter and simply lend us your ear, you now graduate to a new level of relationship with us!

Congratulations, Bronze Puzzlers!

Our Twitter followers, Facebook fans, blog readers and newsletter subscribers are now instantly part of our Bronze Puzzler group. What does that mean to you? Just because you give us the time of day, we will give you something too. See? You don't have to do a thing more than you are already doing! But to find out what it is, you have to click here.

Congratulations, Silver Puzzlers!

Now some of you do more than follow us. Some of you have bought from us! We LOVE that because this is how you get the nitty gritty of what we do and when you buy, the wow factor really comes into play. You have something concrete that makes you wanna do more with it! Honest. We've had plenty of people tell us this. If you want to see some of them, just look here.

In dating terms, if following us is giving us the time of day, buying is like giving us your phone number - your REAL one - :-D - and for that we again say thanks. So what do we have for you?

Well, you too have to check it out!

Congratulations, VIP Gold Puzzlers!

Now last, but nowhere near least, are our VIPs - Very Important Puzzlers! You are a
really elite group because you decided dating us wasn't enough. You wanted a commitment, almost from the start! Wow! So you bought, and bought, and bought A LOT and/or often. You tell people about us. You support us and we KNOW it. We can FEEL it. For you? Well, I can't even say all of what we have for you because that's part of being a VIP - only YOU will find out all that you get! We can say that some of the stuff is so much fun and as we came across these items, we had to decide do we share this with the group or the elite? In some cases we decided to do smaller versions for the group. In some cases, it's part of being the elite, baby! Go see what it is!

And why are we doing this?

BECAUSE THESE PUZZLES ARE JUST TOO DARN COOL! Ramona and I love them. We have fun with every new creation we get to make for someone. Every time we find a new way to do something, we get so excited and the recent discovery of some new stuff led us to doing what we are doing right now - making sure you all know YOU ARE APPRECIATED.

So if you want that free Special Day puzzle from above, you gotta leave your comment here saying so and make sure you give me a way to contact you. Doesn't have to be email. It can be your Twitter name so I can DM you, or your Facebook profile or to REALLY make it easy, if you haven't already, subscribe to the newsletter so the mailing info can go there and then just let me know you did that. The sign-up box is near the top of the blog in the righthand rail.

Thanks for hanging out with us. Without you, we'd fall to pieces!
