START THINKING WAY BACK!!

Just a little hint for all the party participants. I am going to be asking questions that take us way back!!! It will really make you think!!

You will work hard for your prizes this time!!!

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO..

Been trying to make it so all comments are on the board to be seen by everyone like a post. I don't know how I will work it if it doesn't work for the party....I will figure out something!!!

When ask if its 133 different people or the same..see below : )

I have a site meter that tells me who, when, where, and time spent and how many pages viewed. That is how I know how many people check into my blogsite. Its great to know that after all that has happened in the 10 years I have sold that I still have wonderful collectors that check to see what I have available...keep your eyes peeled...Just to show you for example the people that have checked the blog, here is one day (24 hours) sampling.

I know you guys are out there, (133 people this week checked in) that you check in occasionally even if I don't have anything to post...that's why I put all this non shoe non important things on here...I really want your input on the time..If no one wants to participate in the party..well, I can just email Sara and Heidi and give them the prizes JUST KIDDING!!!

Would like your feedback please?

OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW

What a treat, we had been watching the mama on Tuesday thinking she was in labor. This morning these twins came bouncing in the yard. Next I looked they were under the window outside the den!!

Last year the mama had triplets. They were 4 months old by the time we moved here, we will get to watch her twins this year from birth on!!

Earlier this morning I seen a fox, it was in the yard but before I could focus the camera it ran back down over the hill.

MY FRIEND AND BABY..

I MADE A TRIP TO COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. BECAUSE THIS LITTLE GUY DECIDED TO PUT IN HIS APPEARANCE 3 WEEKS EARLY. HE DID END UP BACK IN NICU FOR A FEW DAYS. HIS WEIGHT IS UP TO ABOUT 5#50Z NOW AND OTHER THAN BEING ON OXYGEN IS DOING WELL AT HOME..

THEN HIS MAMA ENDED UP HAVING HER GALL BLADDER OUT THIS PAST WEEK!! MY OH MY WHAT A ROUGH START FOR A FIRST TIME MAMA!!

GRANDMA DROVE OUT TO BE WITH HER DURING HER SURGERY AND HELP TAKE CARE OF LITTLE JOAQUIN. OF COURSE I AM SURE SHE LOVED BEING NEAR HER FIRST GRANDCHILD AGAIN!!

PLEASE GET BETTER SOON TAHNEE, WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FAMILY.

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

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!!!
