Cate and Sarah, from Sweetnicks and Sarah’s Cucina Bella respectively- two previous clients of mine decided to join forces and create a product review website from a mom’s perspective called The Voice of Mom. They asked me to customize an existing wp theme and create a logo for their site. Although there was some talk about bathroom icons, ahem, the addition of the little baby kind of made it all work. Or something.

If you are a mom, you will definitely find valuable information here. Go check it out!

I have a few launches to post about and I just can’t wait to share them with you, it’s hard to keep quiet! Unfortunately, there’s still a bit more testing to do before I can link to them. Bummer.

This month has been a busy one! The girls are back to school and my favorite time of year approacheth. Helloooo Jack Skellington! Every year I look forward to October because it’s when I whip out my copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas (now in 3D!) and pretty much play it all through Christmas. Yes, yes I know…I’m kooky like that, lol.

Oh! I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but we are in the middle of selling our house and actively looking for a new place. (I know that sounds backwards, trust me) Anyways, so hard as I try, it’s been tough to keep focused on things when I’ve got :::new kitchen::: :::new office::: :::big soaker tub::: on my mind! Today’s horoscope totally illustrates perfectly what I’m feeling:

You can be a bit unreliable today with your time. It’s not that you can’t finish what you start; it’s simply that your daydreams can get in the way of what needs to happen now. Push yourself by setting up a few appointments in advance, and don’t cancel them after you have made a commitment. Once you have completed your work, give yourself permission to also schedule time for your dreams.

So, I forced myself to send out a ton of follow up emails and reply to many new emails that came in the past couple of days. I tend to get a bit overwhelmed with the volume of emails that come in daily and when I dare to put off replying ONE DAY (stupid germs!) they become this big project that eats up my whole day. Then I walk around with this big old cloud of doom all day. I hate making people wait! I’m glad I did it though because I always feel better in the end when I stop putting things off :)

Anywhoo, it’s been a while since I just had a chance to talk about what’s going on so I’m glad to have had the chance to do that today. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey there! I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend :) It’s been non-stop raining here for about a week now so when I woke up this morning to sunshine I was definitely pleased. Anyways, I’m checking in briefly to post about our newest launch – Natasja L. Photography Blog. Natasja was very open minded design wise, she didn’t really give me specifics on color schemes or any particular design ideas- I was pretty much free to go for it, so it was great to be able to come up with something that she was pleased with right away :) I love the different shades of black and how the hot pink just pops against it. I’d like to thank Natasja for allowing me the creative freedom to take the project wherever it “went” ;)

Natasja’s blog is pretty tricked out with a few scripts to display the date/labels & comments a little bit differently than the norm. Please visit Natasja’s blog to see her beautiful photography and check out her new look! Tell her Maddie sent ya :)

Launch Site

HJ Selch Photography Blog

Heidi wanted something fun and spunky and she wanted her blog to accommodate larger images. She also wasn’t crazy about her current logo and wanted a new one. I came up with a few variations of this concept and she chose this one.
The original had a little bird I illustrated but she thought it might be a bit too young for her audience. I still think he’s cute so I’m posting him on the scrap pile ;)
