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!

Your understanding of material possessions is undergoing a shift as you reconsider what you want these days. You might be willing or even eager to let go of once-prized belongings that have turned into unneeded baggage. Your values are transforming and it’s time to lighten your load emotionally and physically.
Woot! Another Christmas accomplished! This year was extra tough at our household with my other half having thrown his back :( He’s feeling better now, but it was so hard to watch him hobble around knowing that he was being tortured by all the things he could be doing.
This year, for the girls (read: teenagery) it was the year of the gift card. And oh how they loved it! I always thought gift cards to be a bit impersonal but since they hinted around so much that the wanted to pick out their own stuff, we obliged. For the most part it was a good idea. I say most part because they still needed to be driven to the mall and most times wanted stuff that exceeded their gift card amounts. Heh.
Justin was really into the Christmas/Santa thing this year and he fully understood that behaving naughty was not good. Every time he would do something nice he would walk around shouting “Santa, are you watching?!!” It was too cute. He got all the mess…err, toys he wanted and my living room is completely kids zone. I only get bothered by it for a second or two because I realize that in a blink of an eye he will no longer be little. He’s already going to be 4. FOUR!!! I can still close my eyes and feel him kicking around my belly. Ugh, make it stop!
Anywhoo, this turned into somewhat of a personal post didn’t it? Right. So I’ve managed to set up my Print Portfolio (most of it, at least) so if you want to check out some of the stuff I’ve designed for print click on over. I should also mention that some of these designs are available for purchase (exclusively) via For Always Invitations. If you would like to contact me for a print quote, please don’t hesitate to ask.
That’s all for now, I’ll be adding more to the freebies section this week and I’ll also be posting about a redesign I’ve just launched for Dragonflies and Ladybugs. I’m so excited about this project because I got to work with one of my favorite clients -Robyn. It’s so much fun working with her! But that’s another post, for another day.
