Good morning!!!  Who’s looking forward to a beautiful day?!

I’ve got lots of design jobs happening right now, as usual, which is a real blessing.  I love designing blogs, especially.  We’re done with the TransformationTrainer.com wordpress custom blog-site design.  I did love the cantelope colors we were working with before, but the end result turned out really well and I like the colors a lot.

I also designed some business cards for her to use that go along with her site design:

Last week I also had the opportunity to make some really fun buttons for Vanessa of INeverGrewUp.net:

And along with all the design work, I’ve been really wanting to work on my TheArtisticMom.com mom-blog.  I’ll be writing recipes every Monday, art projects (to do with your kids) every Tuesday, random thoughts on “Wild Thought Wednesday” and then will write about my food photography endeavors on “Food Photog Fridays.”  For those of you that know me, I’ve had a food photog blog and have decided that I’d just like to have one blog that I can write about all the random miscellany in my life as an “artistic mom.”  I’d love it if you were interested in checking it out!  Should be a lot of fun!  There will be a full week of posts this week – woot!  Today’s is all about my whole wheat german pancake recipe.  The picture is not fabulous (I’ll definitely be the first to admit that since I’m a professional food photog, it turned out rather disappointing, but oh well), but the recipe is DELICIOUS!!

Anywho, lots of random thoughts, but this is where I’m at this week.  Wishing you a lovely Monday!!

Last week I announced how I’m now offering my design services for hire for your blog, blogsite and small business!  This week I’m doing a “Soft” Grand Opening, just because it sounds more fun.  It’s a “soft” launch and as such, I’m softening the prices on all the Blog/Blogsite Design packages for one week only!  Woot!

Order any Blog/Blogsite Design package this week (Nov. 2 – 7) – Oh, So Suave Customization, Ooh, La, La Customization, All That Jazz Customization or Petite Customization – and get $50.00 off*. Isn’t that a great deal?!  It’s like getting your Accessory Buttons or Ad Buttons for FREE.

I’m really excited to get this project off the ground and fill up my schedule for the next month or so.  I’ll only do ONE client’s order per week, so a couple of orders will keep me booked into December/January.  So… don’t wait if you want me to design your blog/blogsite!

Order now by emailing me at quinn{at}createdbychicks{dot}com.

Tell me which design package you’d like, as well as sending me a link to your blog/blogsite you’d like me to design for.  I’ll send you a quick questionnaire to nail down your design style so we can identify the exact look and feel that’s right for your blog/blogsite.  Upon receiving your questionnaire I’ll put you on my schedule.  During the design process  you’ll hear from me quite a lot and will get to see what I’m working on for you to give your input.  Then you’ll receive the images or have me install them and…

ba-da-bing! You’ve got an AMAZING-LOOKING blog/blogsite! va-va-voom!!

Here’s a small portfolio of a few designs I’ve done recently: Portfolio.  Can’t wait to design for you!  xoxo quinn
