Never has my Michael’s dollar bin plaque held more meaning. I grabbed this wooden sign one day years ago just because I loved the black and white, but now I suddenly realize how much those three little words matter. I spent this summer scaling back on blogging because I had to be realistic with three kids being home all day every day, but it can be stressful to step away from your blog. And the blog world in general. I hated missing projects from other people, but with time I realized what I always do….breaks are good.
I had time to just think and not think about my blog. I was able to get out of the bubble just enough to refocus on what it is I am striving for and how I would like to do it. For those of you outside of the blogging realm, let me just say that blogging is a whole beast in itself and it is super-competitive and time-consuming. It’s not a bad thing and there is definitely a part of me that wishes I could tackle it all, but the truth of the matter is I have to set my priorities because my work-time is dictated by three little people who need me a lot.
In my time away I have realized that doing the design work locally and through design boards is what really makes me tick. It’s what brought me into blogging in the first place and it’s where I want to grow my business. So I will continue to blog my little heart out but I have made it clear to myself where my true passion still lies and I know that to be truly happy I have to just follow my heart.
This fall is going to be a lot of fun with lots of new services and deals so
my $100 design board deal is coming to a close.
It will officially expire August 31st so if you have been debating that design board now is the time!
I will continue taking new e-design clients at the discounted rate through this month and then it will be back to regular pricing.
And my regular pricing will be based on a brand new menu of services. Through my work with clients I have gotten a pretty good idea of the types of help people want so I have tried to offer levels of service that will work for all budget ranges.
My “Services” tab is under construction as we speak, but next week I will unveil all of the services and give you a little more info on each. I will also share another piece of exciting news happening around here! So many teasers, I know, but I can’t give you all the goodies in one day!

I always find something I "need" in those bins 🙂

It's so good to step away now and then. It gives you clarity. So glad you know what you want 🙂 I feel like to keep a close eye on my priorities and a lot of times the blog falls short. xoxo
