I decided I wanted to do a few custom cupcake toppers.  I emailed them to ask a few questions about designs to match my theme.  I immediately got a response back from Torry (the creativity behind Graceful Correspondence) and within minutes she had made a draft matching exactly what I was thinking!  Simply fabulous!!
