I will be auctioning off a fabulous blog design including multiple themes and the proceeds will go to the local chapter of Special Olympics. My kids’ school is doing a fundraiser for this and I thought this would be a great way to raise a good donation. Stay tuned for more information, the auction will be taking place here on this site.

As always, thanks for your support!

I just added a couple of really cool Twitter tools to The Blog Shoppe site! Do you Twitter? Check them out!

I’m working on a couple of Gift Certificate options, one for the domain, hosting, installation and customization and one for a custom theme only. Stay tuned for an update when those are available!

I have received permission from Sarah Jones at the DigiChick and Monica of mgl Scraps at Scrapbook Graphics to use their products! Check out their beautiful work by clicking on their names to visit their stores!

Due to the demand for my services and the fact that I now have a full time job, I am limiting myself to one or two jobs per week. I had planned to take deposits to place jobs on the schedule, but I am just not comfortable taking deposits for jobs that are a month or more away. Instead, I will place clients on the schedule and will require a deposit one week prior to the anticipated start date for the project. I will send an invoice for 50% of the estimated total via Paypal 10-14 days prior to the estimated start date and if the deposit is not received by 7 days prior to the project start date, it will be moved to the back of the schedule. Because I have less time to work on my freelance business, I need to be sure that a client is committed to the project prior to beginning work. If anyone would like references prior to sending a deposit, please feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to provide them. You may also use the contact form for any questions you have.
