Blogging Jori’s new design today! She was after something to reach her children and families. Quite a bit of her design is developed around the o’s in her name, including her pattern and the little circle where you’ll see her owl perched. Definitely a fun and bright look! Wishing you much success Jori! xx
In other exciting news, I’ve added links to accept credit card payments. I still work through Paypal but just wanted to be able to give you more options.
Since the Pink Ink store is closing in just a few days, I’ll be pulling in a section for some premade logos and marketing pieces on my blog. Everything in my store is 50% off! Happy Shopping!

Welcome to Thursday! It’s one of those days where the caffeine drip is installed and my thoughts are moving way faster than my hands. I survived a full 15 minutes of a Jillian Michael’s DVD last night and I swear even my eyebrows are sore. It’s all good! Let’s do something fun!
I reached the 2000 fans/likers mark on Facebook. Kind of crazy! I was trying to come up with a fun giveaway and honestly felt a little torn. I’m sure most of you are familiar with the devastating storms that have destroyed so many homes and businesses in our country this week. My heart breaks for these families. We were very lucky in St. Louis in that no one was seriously injured, but there is significant damage in the area. The destruction and loss of lives in the southern states is simply awful. I’ve been thinking of my clients in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. My prayers are with you and your families.
Here’s what I’d like to do. This will be a quickie. Deadline is tomorrow morning … April 29, 10:00 CST. One person will receive $100 off your custom design OR $100 towards product in my Pink Ink Store. If we’re currently working on your project, you can still enter and use this towards your design. Easy enough! That same winner will also get to choose the Red Cross chapter of their choice. I will donate all proceeds of sales in my Pink Ink store to that particular Red Cross. Get it? Anything you purchase between now and 10am tomorrow will help storm, tornado, flood or even earthquake victims. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Winner will be drawn and announced tomorrow morning! I told you it was quick!!
Posting Lisa’s new set and logo and then I’m off to tackle that to-do list! Don’t forget to check back tomorrow. Good luck to you and a big thank you. You all rock!

It’s hard to believe a week ago I was in Vegas. Today I’m tucked behind the computer staring at a mountain of email. No lie … it’s like someone added water and it multiplied. When I was little the days seemed to drag on and on. Now I’m petitioning for at least one more day in the week. If I could pick it would be an extra Saturday … hands down my favorite day. Enough rambling …
I’ve got a lot going this week and you need to check it out because you can win awesome prizes! Rock The Shot launched and has one heck of a giveaway going! I recommend taking a look at their forum. My talented friends at Pink Ink are also having a giveaway. I feel a bit lame going up against the girls that rock the handmade goods. I need to get in touch with my inner craftiness in a serious way! I’ve got a Paper Source card up for grabs. I’d be more than happy to help you spend it! You can also find a little bit about me on the Savvy Photographer’s blog today. I got a “you really told that joke?” from my husband. Oh well … I never claimed to be funny! I’d mentioned it before, but watch for a very special post coming Friday. Giveaways are awesome but this one is about giving back.
Sharing Ami’s custom logo and set today. I love how her logo turned out with the whimsical camera. Also loving the eggplant, lime and grays. Thanks Ami!! All right … go peek at the giveaways and I’m going to get my creative on. Have a great day!

I made it back from Vegas late last night. My head is spinning as fast as that roulette wheel! My throat is scratchy, my feet hurt and I think I’m exhausted! I can’t imagine how those who took the classes and spent the entire week must feel. So much to see at the trade show! It’s so great to be able to touch and feel samples. I visited with all of the labs and got to see new products. I met really great people but didn’t get to meet everyone I’d hoped to see. It was impossible as the show was in two buildings and phone service was next to nothing. I updated swatch books and asked lots of questions. I was on the hunt for a few specialty items for clients and found a few things. Still looking for others. I also have a great source for packaging options and happy to recommend when we’re working on your set.
Speaking of sets, this custom logo and set was done for Nicole. Very elegant and classy with that bit of teal to make it POP! It was my birthday while I was in Vegas. Nicole sent a message saying hers was the same day! Say Happy Birthday to Nicole everyone!!
Looking for a huge giveaway? Check out Rock the Shot! I’ve got something in there you might like. Also keep your eyes open for another giveaway at Pink Ink next week … very awesome! I know everyone loves scoring new stuff. Next week I’m starting a different kind of giveaway and I’m going to need your help. It’s about giving a little something to a very special family and I’m hoping it adds up in a BIG way! Details coming soon! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Before I forget, congrats to Lynette Weber (#28). She won the $50 certificate towards custom design. Lots of entries … overwhelmed by the kind words. Thank you! If you like the premade set, I’m going to be adding it to my Pink Ink store at an introductory price. I’ll keep you posted via Facebook once it’s in the store … aiming for the weekend, but weekends this time of year get pretty busy.
Sharing Myra’s custom set and logo. Myra loves orange. Pair it with lime and a dark bluish-gray and that baby really pops. Speaking of baby, I’ve ‘known’ Myra for quite some time. We took a photography workshop together and have kept in touch. I’m excited to see her launching her photography business, but even more excited for sweet baby girl to arrive in February … hopefully on my birthday! Have a great weekend!
