It was a doozy but now I know how to create my OWN designs and not have to purchase others' designs. Yea ME!! Now I just need some time to create. Where can I buy some time?<br />
<br />
Here is what I did for my final project in Design. I found the graphics and then drew them on my own. So, this is my own drawing on the computer of Mickey vintage to Mickey new. I think I did pretty good and am ready for some more challenges.<br />
<br />
Goodnight, me!<br />

She was the nicest, sweetest, person who knows exactly what she wants! You gotta love that about a girl! We both worked really hard at making the blog look awesome and I know that we had a great time talking and giggling on the phone in the process! ha!<br />

If I kept your files, it's been less than a year, and you would like a revamp of your current header, email me and let me know. Send me the photos that you would like changed out as well. I charge $25 for a revamped header and can get it to you relatively quick.Tracihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09998069585904730402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062997713196542695.post-83935203439929290602010-10-12T14:41:00.000-05:002010-10-12T14:41:09.567-05:00DesigningYes! I am designing and simplifying your blog if you are a current customer. Feel free to email me and if you don't get a reply within 24 hours, it probably means that I didn't get it for some strange reason and you can always send a follow up email.<br />
<br />
I am currently working outside of the home but in my extra time will definitely still design for those who have been so great to me! Thanks to all of you! :)Tracihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09998069585904730402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062997713196542695.post-80543271090242076192010-09-17T08:44:00.000-05:002010-09-17T08:55:28.751-05:00Multiples and More Button ContestLast week, <b><a href="http://multiplesandmore.blogspot.com/">Multiples and More</a></b> asked me to design a button for their blog and enter a contest where their readers were going to decide the winner. I thought it would be fun, so I put together a trendy little button for the contest.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0VQHgpZk0VtXaQbJzFPrHYMfOUiYnXbmUO-0LxcKaXnKXPovWTyeVDLYb3GDqqT2yCT9CfSFLnV2ocNyUTEKoNhsbZ7okysAmLy4Au0q3QbpNK9-WUIvp74KzBdX7OuixBHwcONv3TY-z/s1600/multiples.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0VQHgpZk0VtXaQbJzFPrHYMfOUiYnXbmUO-0LxcKaXnKXPovWTyeVDLYb3GDqqT2yCT9CfSFLnV2ocNyUTEKoNhsbZ7okysAmLy4Au0q3QbpNK9-WUIvp74KzBdX7OuixBHwcONv3TY-z/s400/multiples.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
So, sometimes I can be a little dense because I thought their readers would be deciding. I didn't think that maybe I needed to let all my readers and faithful customers in on the vote. So, I am calling on you to go vote!! If I have designed something for you or even voted on your child in a contest (lol), <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://multiplesandmore.blogspot.com/2010/09/vote-for-new-multiples-and-more-button.html">go to their blog right now and VOTE!</a></span></b><br />

Define Your Space creates beautiful products using vinyl lettering. The owner wanted her logo in a frame with swirls and flourishes. She also wanted a black distressed damask background for her blog with pops of red and turquoise throughout. I love the look and couldn't wait to show it off! <br />

I have closed my wait list and are taking my time with finishing those designs on my list. Luckily all the people on the wait list are taking their time with getting me info. Love that!<br />
<br />
I am SO incredibly thankful for all the business that I had in the past two years and all the wonderful customers that wanted me to design just for them. I love designing blogs and meeting new people- some of you have been SO awesome to work with.<br />
<br />
While I have enjoyed the success of designing for so many of you, I have also come to realize that time spent with my family is something that I was really missing. This is the last year for me to be a SAHM to my two wonderful children and I want to spend all the time I can with them. Working night and day and on weekends was not something that was working for me or for them, so I had to make the decision to close my wait list and give up the chance to design for some wonderful and successful people. I don't regret this decision and am relishing in the time that I am afforded to spend with the kids and hope that this summer will be an amazing time for us all before I start back to work full time in the fall.<br />
<br />
Most likely, I will be available to design for my returning customers on a case by case basis. Please email me and I will let you know when and if I will be available and thank you SO much for understanding.

I am in love with some of the moments that she has captured. She wanted a particular style for her blog and I looked all night for some Asian flower thingy that we found out later was bamboo! :)<br />
<br />
She wanted a menu bar with categories and I made one but it just didn't go with her blog and looked a little blocky. So, we set up a page for her categories using some of her photos and I love it!

Her first design was a lady bug design and it was SO cute! But, now she is a serious artist who saw this cute kit and wanted her blog to represent that. She helped me and I just know that she is going to become a pro in Photoshop in the next couple of years. Maybe she can help me out with blogs? I love her!!<br />
<br />
Here is her cute artist blog:<br />

By the way, if any of my clients or friends have a sweet blogger that is looking for a cute design, I would love to make her one!

Her name is <b><a href="http://barryhomelife.blogspot.com/">Jen</a></b> and she is THE sweetest and most thoughtful person that I have never met- yet! I have designed for her 3 different times and she has been so patient with me. This time she went for a really simple look and loved everything that we pulled together the first time. I just adore her and I know you will too.<br />
<br />
While I was designing her blog I got a sweet little package in the mail from her. It was full of chocolate treats and notes with my name on it. SO very thoughtful. Hugs to you, Jen!!<br />

I will be back home tomorrow and will resume working on those blogs at the top of the list.<br />
<br />
I am working hard to get to the bottom of the list and then will only take clients on a case by case basis. I will absolutely work with clients that I have worked with before. Other than that, I will only be working with friends, friends of friends, facebook friends of me or sweet cheeky or blogger friends.<br />
<br />
My wait list is still closed and will remain closed. I do this job because I love it and I like for nice people to have fabulous designs. I am a mother and a wife and I will be those first, just to be clear. :)Tracihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09998069585904730402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062997713196542695.post-87256318719043643772010-03-10T09:31:00.000-06:002010-03-10T09:31:03.482-06:00Muffintop MamaI just finished designing a blog for Muffintop Mama. She contacted me Monday night and asked me if I could design a blog for her by Wednesday morning since she was going to be featured at another website today. Normally, I just say no to these requests- I do get a lot of them- and when I told her my rush fee, she still wanted me to do it. So, she sent me the graphics, said she wanted hot pink and I got right on it. I spent a lot of time on the design and this is what I came up with for her:<br />

If your turn is up and I am working with you on your design, here are some things that you can do to help get your design quickly and to help me get to others waiting patiently on the list:<br />
<br />
1. Please have everything you need in to me by the time your turn is up. I have some clients who will email me when their time gets close and tell me that they need more time- I LOVE THAT!! I will be more than willing to move you down and start work on someone who is anxious to get their blog designed!<br />
<br />
2. Please answer all my emails in a timely fashion. If you want to show the testing site to your friend, or hubby, or mother- that's fine. But, I expect some correspondence within 24 hours.<br />
<br />
3. If you know that you want your signature in black with a heart beside it in Inspiration font, please state that in the questionnaire. It takes time to go back and redesign images that you knew and could have specified before-hand. Just sayin'! :)<br />
<br />
4. Read this awesome <b><a href="http://beautifulblogdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/12/getting-new-blog-design-101.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">post</span></a></b> from Amanda at Beautiful Blog designs. I think she puts things into perspective!<br />
<br />
5. Finally, please know that I will design something for you that I hope that you will LOVE! I have some of the BEST clients and if I keep in touch with you, it's because YOU were an inspiration to me!! ;)<br />
<br />
And lastly, please understand that I am a wife and a mother. I like to take off on holidays such as New Years and Valentine's Day. Also, if you email me on a weekend, I will return said email on Monday if I don't return it immediately. Thanks to all of you for being awesome and a real pleasure to work with!!Tracihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09998069585904730402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062997713196542695.post-51458581605541216532010-03-04T08:58:00.001-06:002010-03-04T09:02:35.116-06:00closedI have closed my wait list.

I just designed a blog for her and she was so helpful and joyous to work with! Every time I had a question, she was right there to email me back with an answer. That's exactly why her blog was done so quickly!<br />
<br />
It was a pleasure to give Summer's blog a redesign. You should definitely make your way over there to read <b><a href="http://summer-summersstoryafamilysjourney.blogspot.com/2010/02/summers-story.html">Summer's Story</a></b>. She handles everything that's she's going through with grace.<br />
<br />
Summer, you were a pleasure to work with and I look forward to keeping up with your blog! :)<br />

<b><a href="http://adelesciortino-figurativeart.blogspot.com/">Adele Sciortino</a></b> is a figurative artist and has some really interesting pieces. She already has a website but wanted a whimsy blog, so I did my take on a whimsy design. She told me that she wanted purple, green and hot pink and this is what I imagined from those colors + whimsy. She was very easy to work with and so excited about her design. I dig that very much!!<br />
<br />
I do have to talk about E-checks since it has happened a couple of times. PayPal gives you this option and it's lovely, but I have to wait until the e-check clears through PayPal which sometimes takes 5-10 days. So, unfortunately, Adele had to wait about a week before I could put the design on her blog. She was very understanding and patient- thank you, Adele!<br />
<br />
I just want to reiterate that this is one of those rules that I am forced to enforce if you chose to use the e-check option.Tracihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09998069585904730402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062997713196542695.post-91897268142022316962010-02-19T10:38:00.000-06:002010-02-19T10:38:07.705-06:00some scrappy designs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_mE7sriPCow4D3wVs7otrhNFO7lPcvsB9-gkyRojjD3LB_SqS4oYS5_GlKGH9gXXfrFSdKTRQlNDfgNlHMBUNdKZS3DAfhJZrEYWGgiwgFbDpaaC82KUJ8oaHM7M2DB0h7vQ03y8QvQe/s1600-h/ohfiddlestix.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_mE7sriPCow4D3wVs7otrhNFO7lPcvsB9-gkyRojjD3LB_SqS4oYS5_GlKGH9gXXfrFSdKTRQlNDfgNlHMBUNdKZS3DAfhJZrEYWGgiwgFbDpaaC82KUJ8oaHM7M2DB0h7vQ03y8QvQe/s640/ohfiddlestix.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />

I have always wanted to own a bakery! Mainly a cupcake bakery but then <a href="http://sprinkles.com/">Sprinkles</a> came to town. So, the fact is that maybe I didn't want to own a bakery as much as I just wanted to design the logo and pick the colors. Well, Melissa baked and I designed and this is what we came up with:<br />

I had so much fun designing her blog and just getting emails from her. I never knew that I liked turquoise and orange until she wanted them in her design. I love the way this one turned out! Plus, the character in her header looks just like her! Oh yeah! TTYL, dahlin'!!<br />
