IN MARCIE'S FENCED YARD

This little guy is learning to fly. spends more time of the ground than in the air, but it will get it right.
Marcie thinks she's a bird dog so we have kept her in the house until the little one flys away.
I don't know what kind it is, but its only about 2.5 inches tall right now

EMAIL FROM RAINE REGARDING POLICY CHANGES

Dear Artis,
You have been such a wonderful friend to JTRS collectors, and to me personally over these many years, I want to say thank you for all you have given, your caring, hard work, perseverance, and patience. I know at times it sure wasn't easy, with two distributors in bankruptcy and all the personnel and policy changes that go with it. Yet here we still are, amazing!

Well now, we have recent personnel changes at Evergreen, and it's going to be impossible for me to continue to share product development, (my working drawings of the shoes, and signed product and samples) in the future. Sharing with collectors and dealers has caused headaces for EG because they are just not a collector based company and do not have the expertise or resources to deal with the repercussions of providing this type of content, and since I want to maintain a good working relationship with them, I am going to honor their request.

That of course is going to make it much more difficult for you Artis, to continue to provide news for you collectors, and I am so sorry for this result. Also for you collectors to have something to share with each other. After all these years, you know how much I love you guys. Many of you have developed strong bonds of friendships which I hope will endure for many more years to come. I'll still be here designing and creating the most fun, sexy, and gorgeous shoes and some other stuff, as well as I can, I just won't be able to share it with you all until it hits the store shelves.
Thanks for understanding,
Raine

AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS

CLOYD AND I ARE GOING INTO YELLOWSTONE, OLD FAITHFUL FOR A FEW DAYS. I WILL TAKE ANY ORDERS OR ANSWER ANY EMAILS WHEN I RETURN.

REGARDS AND LOVE TO THE JONES FAMILY

I just spoke to Robyn and she told me that her son Robby passed away early yesterday morning.
My deepest sympathies are with you and your family.

Robyn, just know that for 37 years you were the best friend and mother you could be for Robby. I enjoyed seeing you at all the signings with you and Sonny bringing Robby along. I know he was a bright light in your life.

If you need anything, just let me know.

IF anyone wants to send a card, here is her address

HOW ABOUT A TWO PART PARTY??

IF I PLAN ON A TWO PART ANNIVERSARY BLOGSITE PARTY SO EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT 1PM MY TIME, WHICH WOULD BE 8PM UK, AUSTRIA,AUSTRALIA,WHALES ETC.. TIME (SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG)

THEN WE CAN DO PART TWO AT 6PM MY TIME, TO COVER THE OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

Please leave your input here as comments. I would ask that if there were night owls across the pond and you do win something (maybe a few) that you can give someone else a chance that could not be here at the first time slot. What do ya all think??

THIS IS THE PHOTO THAT WAS SENT TO THE FACTORY FOR THE COLOR OF THE SHOE.

Even though this is not the actual shoe, it is the photo that they are following. The shoe will be available 90-120 days.

Finally I am going to do an Exclusive Shoe, a recolor. What shoe you may ask? A decision was finally settled upon by Raine and the crew, and I just received the email that it has been approved
Remember a few years ago, Helen did a bunch of Maneater repaints in different colors, one of which was very 'formal' looking, painted in black & gold?
Well, this is the photo which was sent to the factory to be used as a color reference for the new "Pampered Bodies by Artis Exclusive" recolor... Maneater in Black & Gold. Item # Z5726037



This is a picture of the shoe that was gifted to Raine, and not the final product. I will post pictures of the actual Exclusive as soon as I receive them, and the new COA will be reworded to reflect the color change.

I am very excited to be able to sell this shoe with a limit of 612 worldwide. I will start taking pre-orders that must be pre-paid, as I have to pay for them before I receive them. Each shoe is $23. If paying by paypal with shipping in US it will be $30. For international orders it will be $34.

You may also send payment by check. You may have more than one if you like, first come first serve. Shipping in the US is $5.00 for up to 3 shoes. International customers your shipping is $9.Please email me at artis.forshoes@bresnan.net to pre-order.

STAY TUNED FOR BREAKING NEWS!!!

KEEP WATCHING HERE FOR SOME VERY EXCITING SCOOP!!!
