================================================================

Customer Order General Guidelines:
If you place a custom order, know that at some point, I may need to contact you about specific design issues. If you do not respond to Etsy messages or email, I have no other way to communicate and your order will -STOP- at that point until we can make some shared decisions. Virtually all of you are terrific with communication and responding, so thank you for that. It's very helpful.

FYI: Customers, if you have a special event or are, say, leaving the country, make a point to double check your message to be sure you have told me the correct date. -; )
