Today in the late afernoon as I was taking a pseudo-nap trying to get over a work-induced headache, Kari had just gotten home from work and brought up a priority envelope from Stan. Included in the envelope was a really awesome card to Kari and myself from several of the DojoBoard members here and Stan featuring the really cool Usagi/Tomoe artwork by Amy. Also included was an original version of that Art by Amy (WOW) and a full-color print of Stan and Patricia from Particia "Usagi" Heise (by way of AWA). All I have to say is "arigato gozaimasu" and "RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!", on behalf of Kari and myself, for such a thoughtful gift. According to Stan, you all had been planning this for awhile under the radar...very cool. So once again, a heartfelt thanks from the Shogunate!!
Now, about that artwork from Amy...Mega-RYAAAA!!! I immediately compared it to the image on the card, knowing full well that the image on the DojoBoard was tablet-produced and not your traditional hand-drawn on paper artwork. Of course, this is a completely hand-drawn version, inked and toned to perfection. Take a gander and click on the image to enlarge... WOW!

We should thank you instead for your hard work on the Dojo
...unlike other Hatamoto I know of whose name begins with z and ends with iritrion... Congratulations on your marriage and have lots of fun!
And kudos to Steve Hubbel for kickstarting the idea!

I'm so glad you two liked the card and everything^_^ We really appreciate what you all do here. It was wonderful to have an oppritunity to give something back to you
Don't worry Mayhem, your note is there along with everyone else's^_^ Lol, there were so many responses, it took some creativity on Steve's part to get them to fit.
Thanks Usagi, that's kind of you to say. It was sweet of you to send something too! You've come a long way in your art, if you keep at it you'll gain the confidence you need to tackle pictures for special occasions.
