I got a new work computer while I wait for the files to be taken out of the old one so I’m up and running. My client back up files aren’t available yet, but I am almost fully functional again!

May has officially kicked my butt. You hear that May? You WIN! WON! (whatever!) I am just getting around to contacting the winners of the contest, and writing up my post about it. Slowly but surely I’m catching up on all the emails and quote requests that have been coming in as well. I’ve been working on providing new content for the site so that there is more information where you need it regarding my availability, pricing, and I’ll be adding some articles to the very neglected resources area as well.

This month I will be mainly focusing on my current projects *waves hi to Recipe Girl, Wendy from Sacred Moment Weddings and Heidi from HJ Photography* As well as tying up some loose ends from some of my previous projects *waves hi to Kat and Robyn* I’m also hoping to be able to get started on design concepts for my contest winners. *waves hi to Molly, Erin and Kat again* And, you know the usual toddler chasing, teen chauffering, mom and wife stuff I do on the down low ;)

This all to say, that if you have been getting a slow response from me the past couple of weeks it’s all MAY’s FAULT. June is here, and that means that school is almost over, and that means that soon, very soon I will have my babysitters, err daughters back to help out a bit while I get some work done. Right? Right? Ok. I need to go do some Yoga. Or something.

So I’m back from my vacation and I’ve got a nice little tan going (despite the sunblock, oh well!) We had tons of fun and I can’t wait to start uploading my pictures to my flickr account to share with my friends :) I’ve still not unpacked and I don’t really want to. I promised myself I would not think about work when I was on my vacation so I didn’t take along the laptop and I didn’t look at my emails till I got back. I may or may not have peeked when I got to the airport back home but that doesn’t count, right? lol Speaking of emails, as expected I’m a little behind in responding to everyone, so I appreciate everyone’s patience while I catch up. I’ll be posting again shortly about a new launch and other site news. Stay tuned…

Hey!
So, my home was invaded by some germs for a bit. I think EVERYONE is feeling better now and we’ve finally ridded ourselves of whatever was ailing. Today was nice and warm albeit a touch gloomier than I’d prefer, but the slight increase in temperature definitely helped me remember that spring IS around the corner, dammit. No matter how long it seems to be taking.

Right now I’m working on a very very cool project for a wonderful artist that I can’t wait to share. I’ve actually shared a peek of it on the animated image above ;) I’m also working on another great project, this one for a fabulous bakery. Definitely a fun one…you’ll see soon! I’m so happy to be back to work, I really truly believe my mind needed that break because I can feel the ol’ creative juices going again.

It’s taken me longer than I’d like to get the contest details up for everyone, but we’re working on it and I promise they will be up soon. We’ve already had quite a buzz generated as I’ve been getting almost daily emails with inquiries! I truly love doing these contests, they’re always so much fun.

Last but not least, you may have noticed some (slight) changes around here…I added a little bit of texture to the background and changed out a few of the graphics. Gotta change things up a bit from time to time ;) Have a great week everyone!
