Pin it to Win it: Rompin' Reindeer Graphics Set

Oh my goodness!! Where has the time gone??
I have taken on a lot of custom design work lately and although I am blessed to have the work, I feel a little sad that I have been unable to blog and blog stalk!! We are really feeling the financial squeeze this winter and I know that many of you out there are in the same boat this Christmas. I hope you all take time just to breathe the winter air and spend time with family. Sometimes, this is easier said than done...especially if you own your own business!!

I was even having a difficult time trying to figure out what to blog about. I did not want to just jump right in with a tutorial....

Soooo

I decided to come back with a fun Pin it to Win it Giveaway!!!
All you have to do is pin my newest and cutest reindeer set for a chance to win the set!! My only request is that you pin the product onto a relevant Pinterest board.

I am writing to let you know that I finished quite a bit of work over the last couple of weeks and I have had the privilege of working with some amazing people!!! PLUS ALSO (in my BEST Junie B. Voice), there is a FREEBIE hiding somewhere within this post!!!

Winner of Mandy's Giveaway for a Mini Custom Blog Design is...

Rachael from Mindful Ramblings!!! Take some time to check out her current blog design, get a box of tissue and shed some tears if you may....BECAUSE.... the old design is getting a makeover with a new custom background, header, and button!!

I also want to send a special thanks to Mandy for hosting the giveaway and entrusting me with her blog design!!!

New Blog Designs:

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kathy Griffin from

who is just the sweetest gal EVER!!! How I came up with the design is actually quite funny.  I was originally going  to go with a clean, blue themed design when I had a dream one night that changed everything. Luckily, Kathy trusted my instinct and let me run with my idea....haha!! I worked endlessly for a week straight and when I was ready to show Kathy the test site, I was beyond nervous!! I actually told my husband that if she didn't like it, that I might use it for my own blog..hahaha... Well, I was so relieved when I got her email and she was just as in love with the paper cut-out design!!!! Kathy has such a soft and giving personality and I see so much of her in the design. If you have not had the pleasure of visiting her site, I highly suggest you do so!! Her blog is filled with so many amazing teaching resources & tips!!

New Sets: Christmas is Comin' I know that not all of you celebrate Christmas, but it is my absolute favorite holiday!! I LOVE the smell, feel, sounds, and sight of the Christmas season!! I get so excited to look at the lights and get a chance to listen to holiday music!! I have recently finished a few fun holiday graphics sets & I will also include some favorite oldies from last year's sets!! Introducing the G-Man, treats & Accents!!! This set is fun and features a realistic gingerbread effect with outlines in icing. Even the black and white versions have a black icing effect. 

Grab my FREE G-Man Writing Flap-Book Template from my TpT Shop!!!

Looks YUMMY enough to eat!!!  AND these cookies won't make you feel guilty!!!

And who doesn't love more FRAMES & BORDERS!!!

I will be adding about 4 more skinny frames to this set....hopefully by the end of the week, but the price will remain the same!!

This next set is my pride and joy!! The frames took a lot of hard work and sore, swollen fingers to complete, but I am in LOVE!! Be nice to my Henna Doodles Frames!! I have a variety of colors in the works to come out soon!! I discounted this set when I first put it up, but I have not changed the price. I want to give you all some deals for the Holiday season, but I still need to make sure I put food on the table. Times are tight right now....

Holiday Bundled Deals & Favorites!!

WORK, but don't forget to LIVE & an Up for Grabs Pizza Fraction GIVEAWAY!!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!! I am writing today to tell you all that I will be taking some time away from custom orders.

Now that you are all done imagining throwing a pie in my face (lol), let me do a little "es-plaining"...

I am planning to take about 2 months to step back, re-group, and complete some projects that I have placed on the back burner for a  long time.

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE doing blog design and custom work; however, the demands can often be overwhelming for one person. I feel like I have neglected my family and my health and I don't seem to be moving  forward. Sometimes, I feel like everything else is moving... people, friends, kids, TIME... and I am only watching it all pass....

I recently came across this quote/typography art by Sean Wes & I decided to make this my screen saver... hahaha!

(Image Credit: https://seanwes.com/)

This does not mean that I will not be working!! HAHA.. FAT chance!! I will use this time to FINALLY... complete my website and work on some other projects that I have been wanting to do. I will also get time to post and read more blogs!! I MISS reading all of your blog posts!! I believe that stepping back for a bit will be good for me and good for all of you as well!! 

So, the custom order links and forms will be disabled for the time being... and I will let you know when I will be back open for requests... I am sure that will be a very busy day indeed...hahaha

I will continue to accept custom button orders just to appease your creative bursts!! hahaha I hope you are all not completely upset with me.... (-; I will be preparing for the back to school rush and I am sure you will be happy when I reveal some of the finished work from the ideas that have been floating in my head... ha! I can't wait to get started!!

Now for a few new things I was able to squeeze in before I ran into Norton/Windows conflicts, which by the way, had me down and out of operation for nearly 3 DAYS!!! After reading Norton forum after Norton forum....and finding NO solutions that actually made any sense at all....., I put my brain to work and figured out the problem myself...My solution will make for a GREAT Tech post I'm sure!!! But in the meantime, here is what I have been working on....

Please make sure to read the disclaimer in the image below.... hahaha

If you're not hungry yet... the following images might just do the trick!! hahaha!! 

I decided to separate the pizza parts from the fractions for those of you who may not need the fractions. These sets took quite a bit of effort, but the pizza looks almost real enough to nibble on..haha

I am not a big pizza eater.... however, my favorite pizza includes a FOUR-CHEESE blend, pepperoni, and banana peppers!! hahaha...
