New Sites Live!

A few new sites are now live. I have really enjoyed working on these sites with my wonderful customers! There are really some awesome people in the world and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to get to know them.

Growing Green Bums - Client, Marissa
Marissa and I have been working hard on this project and I think it really shows!! A custom site, matching blog, newsletter and more were put together for Marissa's green online biz. After several logo concepts that didn't quite fit, a good friend of Marissa's came up with the perfect look and everything just came together. Big thanks to Jessica James - You Rock!


All American Baby - Client, Julie
Another fun site to create, All American Baby, was quick and easy. Julie had a few ideas about what she wanted to see, but let me take the reins and fly with it. Inspiration stuck when I saw a blog that had this cloud shaped top to it, and using some custom patterns I decided to layer it a bit like scrapbooking ang really make the header one of a kind. Julie is pleased with the results and ready to sell!


Faith by Design - Client, Holly
This project took a little sweat and tears, but I'm happy to report we did it! It's done, live and ready to be used LOL Holly had built a site using GoDaddy hosting services. She sells Christian based clothing that is unique and inspiring. As many of my recent clients have done, she contacted me expressing her joy with the Vintage Couture premade available in my online shop. It has been a very popular layout indeed, and many have desired duplicates. I am unable to replicate it, however, I can certainly use the same shape. We did a little gradient at the top, a custom logo, unique colors and finally arrived at the perfect layout for Faith by Design.



There are SEVERAL custom projects in the works at this time. I will be adding a few more by Friday to my finished list. Please note that I have new openings for Custom Projects for November through the end of 2009. There are 3 Available. Interested Parties must CONTACT ME to discuss their project. I will be carefully selecting the projects I will work on from this point forward and they will be extremely limited.

First day of S N O W!

Alarm: 5:40 BEEP BEEP BEEP - snooze.... Brrrrrr, kinda cold in here... why are the dogs running around all crazy? why is the house so quiet. Feels a little like Christmas....

Pull on sweats. Look out window - O M G! S N O W!!!! Crap. Pull on Socks. Pull on Red Sweater to go into garage to let dogs out the backyard. Remember on way back in that I watered my flowers for way too long the other day and did not disconnect the cold.... check for sound of running water - Thank you Jesus I don't hear any.

Should I go out and disconnect it? how much colder will it get? Nah, no need. I'll just go back to bed. Crawl into bed - can't stop thinking about damn hose. Ugh.

Pull back covers, put Red Sweater back on, find shoes. Proceed through garage, slip on water on the floor from dogs. OUCH! head outback, disconnect hose. NOT frozen, yay! Unplug Bird Bath Fountain. Go back inside. Yell at CJ to get up.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP - snooze.

Wine wine, scratch - Dogs want back in the house. Well, Remi wants back in. Kyia could care less.

that's how my morning proceeeded on the first day of snow. And by the way, I never did get back to bed, in case you were wondering.
