Happy New Year!
Good morning!
Welcome to 2012!
Here’s hoping 2012 is a fantastic year for all!
If you are here today looking for my annual Pre-Mades New Year’s Day sale, there isn’t one this year.
For the last 3 months I have been working extensively on graphics for CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) as well as designing a rubber stamp catalog for a stamp company. I’m also designing some in-store point of purchase graphics for wholesalers. I’m doing a project for a stamp company who will be wholesaling to brick and mortar stores and they need to provide the stores with display board.
As a result, it has been hard to justify the prep time involved in preparing the premades for sale (setting up the premade graphic, writing up description, making paypal buttons) when I have so much deadline work to get done.
I will be finished with my CHA work shortly (CHA is end of January) … and I’ll start a whole new set of blog designs this month. When my CHA work is done, I’m thinking about doing a spring Premades sale… so basically the Premades sale will simply be a bit late this year.
If you’d like to keep updated on when my spring Pre-mades sale will be, please subscribe to this blog for updates at the left.
I will post an announcement at least a month in advance of the Pre-mades sale so that there is plenty of time for you all to get it on your calendar.
On another note…
I will be getting a brand new computer and all up-to-date software this month. Back in September, my computer was fried by a power surge caused by trees on 4 1/2 Mile Road in Racine hitting overhead wires. The result was a series of nasty flickering that ended when my computer went dark while working on a blog design.
I’ve been working on a “loaner” computer from my in-laws for the last 3 months, but the loaner is older than the computer I had, and it will not be sufficient for long term. So the computer and all software will be replaced THIS MONTH!!!!
Everything was backed up!!!!!
Don’t worry, all of my files and blog designs on my hard drive are safe! I didn’t lose any data at all. I back up on a regular basis and the hard drive itself was not fried, just the computer. My husband was able to remove the hard drive from my fried computer and place it in the loaner. So all is well.
Lack of blog posts…. I’ll be posting regularily again shortly!
Due to all the important deadline work I’ve been doing for CHA, it also has been hard to justify preparing and posting finished work on my blog. (I have a folder with at least 50 finished designs to post here). I haven’t had the time to prep and post them. But the CHA work is almost finished and I will be going back to a regular schedule shortly.
Catalog Design:
The reason I took on a large project such as a stamp company catalog is because 1. I love layout and I wanted to get back to my roots… take a short break from blogs and do InDesign layout… 2. Refresh my InDesign layout skills and 3. To have a catalog in my design portfolio.
So as you can see, my work in the last few months has been much different than my normal routine, and because of that, some things, such as preparing blog posts and pre-mades has been less of a priority.
Look forward to regular blog posts again shortly as I catch up with my long design wait list! And if you are not able to wait, let me know that as well and I’ll take care of your order.
I treasure the work I do for EVERYONE! And my wish is that EVERYONE is happy, but I take on work on a wait list basis because I’m one person and can only do so much in a day because I have to get sleep too! lol
So… I apologize that there is no pre-made sale today…
look for one later this spring…
and watch for an announcement about a month before the pre-made sale!
Greetings to you all in the new year and God Bless!
