I always get my order in early, like prior to June, and this is the first year they took so long to confirm:

For some reason I always thought "first come, first served," so I get my order in early!  Working on my next one now!

When posting the order to them, I always (always, always) include a note in the message both requesting a confirmation that the order was received and thanking them for their work.  I think I got confirmations the couple of times I've put in orders.

I just received my confirmation today as well.  I was expecting it around a month from now, but I will not complain of course.

I put mine in on 6 Jun and just got the confirmation today also, Suzi.

When the order arrives, it's like Christmas in March!!
