[queensjoy]

Horray!! Thank you all so much for waiting so patiently for this post! (I know you'll understand - it's the holidays, super busy - like taking my two ten year old cousins to see Enchanted today)

Well, we did it. 102 watchers for ogeecons 1st anniversary! And, as promised I will take requests from the first 10 people on the watch list to comment on this

These are just lovely. I am sorry I got so worried. The holidays are such a busy time. Congratulations on your new members. My request is for Emily Dickinson, any poetry quotation, please. If you need a suggestion, I have plenty. Thank you so much.

just wanted to update you and let you know i haven't forgotten your request!! i'll have it for you this week. promise.

[queensjoy]

heya! every time i got to make your icon i get completely distracted. im soooooooooo sorry!!! do you have a quote that you would like? i will make it tonight.

That is wonderful! Thank you so much.

I am going to go with something obscure. It is a fragment, I believe, of something she never finished:

A Letter is a joy of Earth-
It is denied the Gods-

The dashes are important. Her punctuation was uniquely her own. If it is too long, just the first line is fine.

Your text icons are the best I've ever seen. If I have a choice as to coloring, I prefer lavender, blue, green, blue green.

Now that made me think of a old folk song:
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.

It goes on for about thirty more verses, but you get the gist.
One other thing: I know that you work for a jewelry designer, are you a designer, as well? Who do you work for, and do they have a web site?
Thank you again, for your work. It is people like you who make LJ such a special place.

ooh! the icons are lovely, as usual, and the 100+ watchers are completely deserved! :>

HMMMM well, for my little icon request, i'd like something that would go with my current layout: black and white (and grey?) sort of victoriana/wrought-iron swirls kind of a mess. XD does that even make SENSE? bahh. i love your icons. i'll enjoy whatever you can come up with. <3

love, as always!

[queensjoy]

hey lovey! here's your icon! hope it's what you're looking forward to!!

[teh_arpil]

oh goodness, it's beautiful! :D <3

...and this sounds horribly silly, and i apologize, but could you... misspell 'april' to 'arpil' so that it matches my username? XD if it's not too much trouble! that'd be faaaab.

but seriously, it's so pretty and aahhhh <3 thank you so very much!

[queensjoy]

all fixed up! sorry about that one! glad you like it!

Congrats on the watchers! If you don't mind, I would like a Harriet (Sayers) icon...can be of anything. I've already seen all the ones you have, and I've taken (and lovingly cherished) those I like best. But there is always room for more Harriet! (If you're stuck trying to figure out what to do with Harriet, Harriet/Peter is always acceptable, too. :D)

Thank you so much!

(Oooh, now that I think about it, possibly something with "domina"?)

[queensjoy]

just wanted to update you and let you know i haven't forgotten your request!! i'll have it for you this week. promise. i've been capping gaudy night, hence the delay.

[jainanicole]

Not a problem. Thank you so much!

I just added you to my watch-list less than a week ago, but I adore everything I see!

For a request (if you're still taking them) can I have a text-only icon from Firefly/Serenity?
