Hi Cristal, Arrrgh, I feel like such a jerk since I haven't written to you in such a long time. I am working later and later in the day since I got a new studio job and it's really been making my schedule a mess.

Anyway, I was sitting here working on some personal artwork and I started to think about how things are going with you and if you are still working on your artwork? I know you have so much talent and skill that it would be such a shame if you weren't at least still drawing whenever you can.

If you still are drawing, it would be great to get together just to sit around and draw. I haven't been able to draw with someone in a long long time. I'm not sure how your school schedule is....or if you are even at home anymore, or at college...but I was planning on going to the zoo on Thursday morning and wondered if you would like to come along. Just a thought.

I'm sorry that I had to send this to you through deviant, but I can't find your e-mail address...I hope you get this message. Anyway, I hope all is well with you and your family and I look forward to hearing from you again soon...Take care,
Ran

woo hoo......you were able to go to New York!!!! Congrats. That's awesome and it sounds like you had a wonderful time. I would love to hear about your trip and what you did over there. You know, I was meaning to ask you....how did that art competition go??? Did you win?

Yay!!!! Your internet is back up....woo hoo. Oh man Cristal, I had an absolute blast seeing you guys again and catching up. I can't say how much I missed you, your sister, and your mom. You guys have grown up so much since the last time I saw you. I have to admit that I was very very nervous meeting you guys again....but of crouse, you always make me feel at home.

I can't tell you how blown away I was with your artwork. You have such a creative outlook and already have a very good understanding of structure. I'm very excited to see you progress and eventually pass me up

Just let me know when you would like to get together to draw and sketch. Also, let me know when your concert is....I really want to see your artwork presented and hear you play.

Oh....and your little sister is so adorable. With you and your sister watching over her I know she is going to grow up to be just as smart, creative, and beautiful as her big sisters.

Take care and I will talk to you again soon. I am sorry the scanning is taking a little longer than expected I had to take an unexpected trip out to my girlfriends house last night. I will get them scanned in very soon and hopefully have them to you by Monday.

hello hello.....let me know if you still would like to meet tomorrow evening. If you are still up for it, just let me know the time and place you would like to meet. Alrighty....hope your week is going well. I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Hi Cristal.....I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but unfortunately, I can't make it Wednesday. I'm actually going to see the Broadway Musical version of Sweeney Todd that night. Is there any way that we can meet on another day????? Or are you giving up on me . I'm really sorry, but I had bought the tickets to the show months ago. I hope you understand. I really can't wait to see you and your family again and I'm sooooo looking forward to seeing your work. I'm sorry.....I hope to hear back from you again soon.

thanks for the add.....how's everything going??? Can't wait to check out your work. Catch ya later.

wow...alot has definitely happened since the last time we talked. I would absolutely love to meet your new baby sister. My niece is about to turn two years old, so I can only imagine how fun it must be to have a sister that age. We definitely need to hang out sometime soon.
