What does all this mean??

Whether you have 1,000 hits or 2,000,000 hits you are important to me! All my clients matter! I want you to be 100% happy with my services. In order to serve ALL your needs I have devised a queue that includes the full designs, small businesses and even those who just want something here and there.

Full Design - If you need a complete design including banner, headings, background, etc...the whole shebang!

The "Little" Guys - If you've asked me for just a banner, watermark or a siggy but don't need a full makeover you go here. This queue was formed to suit INDIVIDUAL requests. Please don't abuse me by finagling a banner then, headings and so on. I will catch on!!!! ;)

Special or Urgent Projects - This queue is for people who are opening stores, need logos, other BUSINESS related graphics or just in a HUGE hurry for a legitimate reason. As business owners I know that you cannot wait for me to be ready so I have devised this line to better help serve you and your deadlines.

If you feel you're suppose to be on or even off of this list and are somehow misplaced please contact me as soon as possible.

Have a great day!
Sara :)

PS...A huge SHOUT OUT for the first day of school...only a few days away! HOORAY!!!!! **Much better working hours for us WAHMs!!!!!**

Storage Units, Ink & More is Having a Sale!

Denise from Storage Units, Ink & More asked me to put together a small ad banner to use for her Core'dinations Card Stock sale. The kicker was that she wanted to surprise one of her designers by using one of her VERY CUTE card designs in the ad banner. I was especially excited when she told me that designer was my very own sister, Susan!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! I must say I did a great job keeping it under wraps. :) So here is the little ad banner I put together:



Be sure to check out Denise's Sale...she's a GREAT LADY with a GREAT STORE!!!!!

And here is a little something silly I made to honor Hopper! I've been, of course, keeping up with the Hopper Saga on Susan's blog and even talking to her on the phone. What!?...on the phone you say...NO WAY!!!! Yes, I'm a real person who leaves her computer chair every now and again and does things the "old-fashioned" way. Anyway when I heard that Hopper was still in "doggie-jail" and saw his mug shot I just HAD to play with Photoshop!! I know, I know I'm busy...but I still like to have a little fun here and there!!! So check out Hopper in his full-on jailbird suit:



I only wasted about 20 minutes on this...really! Plus it was Sunday!! :)

Have great day everyone!!!!
Sara :)

Just a Quick Note

I have received quite a few requests since the release of Lauren's new design. I am knees deep in a couple of projects right now so I haven't made time to respond to those requests. Rest assured your place in the queue is locked in as soon as I receive your first request. I will, however, still respond individually just as soon as I carve out a little time to do so. The queue is at approximately 6 to 8 months at the present time but I'm working as hard as I can to get that time decreased. THANK YOU so much for your interest in my services!!!!!!

I will also be revising my Queue (yes, I need to update that number as well) soon so that you can better see where you are in line. To do this I will use your first name and last initial. If you would prefer to remain anonymous until your new design is released please send me an email with a name or code of some sort I can use in place of your name. ;)

Another little note to my existing queue: I haven't forgotten ANY of you, I promise! I've got my spreadsheet with all your names and wonderful inspirations. I'm SO SORRY you have to wait so long, I really am!!! It's totally ridiculous, I know!! As time goes on I get faster and more efficient but I also have a family...one child is a baby boy...need I say more. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience with me!! When we start working together I hope that you see that I go to great lengths to ensure that your design is COMPLETELY YOU and that YOU LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful day!
Sara :)

My Time...

...spent with Lauren Meader. Her design is totally complete and I think it turned out great...it's so Lauren! She was also my very first Wordpress blog design! She got a brand new "custom theme"...you Wordpress users know what I'm talking about. I loved Lauren's enthusiasm during the whole process, Lauren you are a joy! Thanks for being my first. I heard what you said about the watermark. ;)

I must also give a BIG HUGE CYBER HUG to Kurtis...I couldn't have gotten her published without you!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!



Again I used a couple flourish vectors from dezignus.com.
I also used flowers and butterflies purchased from Vector Stock.

I'm here, just working...see...

I just finished Debi's brand new blog design. She is a collaging, card making fool so I was able to play with styles I've never tried before! It was so much fun, I LOVED IT!!!


Vintage woman brush from nadinepau-stock.deviantart.com -Papers from cloaks.deviantart.com - Eiffel Tower brush from http://www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com/ - Column and Lace brushes from www.damnedinblack.net/brushes.htm - Fonts: ShowBoat, Expo and HenryMorganHand


Sue Kust over at The Spirit Zone asked me to match her blog to her store:



She even got a fun animated siggy!

You may also notice that her blgger navigation is gone from the top and she has her own search widget. Did you know I could do that?

Kimberly's Watermark:


Vicki wanted a siggy and watermark to match her brand new design by Lara. So go see Crazy Larry on Vicki's blog!
