attempt. I wanted people to be aware of it. It is from one of the same
people listed on your message board. Here are the emails I received from

Yes,i will like to proceed with the purchase "Watching"

I think they are lovely works that will add alot of colours to our new wall.
Meanwhile,i will like you to forward your mailing address and phone number so i can inform my husband to send you payment by a cashier check asap for the payment for those creative artworks.
And also I can also forward your contact info to the local cartage company that will be moving all our house decors so they can get in touch
