unruly things

a week ago, Sara, of the lovely blog Miss Jane, contacted me to ask if I designed custom blog headers. she was looking for something to jazz up her site while inspiring the Seattlite in her and came to me for help. we set up a quick, easy transaction from my shop, and I began work on her headers. for $25 I provided Sara with 3 initial styles to pick from, based on her ideas and suggestions. she had picked out a color scheme that I worked with to create a simple, catchy header for her site.

after a few minor color adjustments, here is the final three I sent her.
can you guess which one she went with?
so now, I’d like to extend an offer to any of you, interested in a little blog pick me up or custom design: I’m available for hire. I’m easy to work with and can give you great, custom work for an affordable price. I’ll hammer out the details over the next few days, but if you’ve got any questions, comments, etc., you are more than welcome to send me an email – alyson {dot} jg {at} gmail {dot} com.

send your valentine the perfect card.
these perfect pear cards are in my shop, along with others.

got a blooming love? call yourselves a perfect pair? show them how much you care this Valentine’s Day with a special card, created with love in mind.
now available in my shop.

hope to see you there!

it’s not too late to get a special calendar to adorn your wall. there are just two tiny calendar’s left in my shop. after that, they will not be reprinted.

I’m planning for a shop update on January 23 at 10:00am PST. prints, cards, and more. be sure to check back in!

I wish that I could:
do Christmas all over again.

I’m truly grateful:
for all of my fabulous gifts.
to have such wonderful family and friends.

I really whacked my bum:
while snowboarding at Tamarack.

but I can’t wait:
to try it again. really.

there are:
a few tiny calendars left in my shop.

the next shop update:
January 4.

well, friends… it’s been a fabulous year. I really accomplished a lot, and I can’t wait for the new year. I’ve got lots of exciting new things happening that I can’t wait to share. I’ve been working on my resolutions. I’ve got a lot that I’d like to stick with this year. last year, I resolved to do many things that I kept up with for the most part. this year, I’m planning even more. be safe, be merry, and I’ll see you next year!

but, I’m jammed with work. aside from gearing up for Christmas, and baking yummy cookies, I’ve got posters to work on, t-shirts to create, email blasts to post, catalog files to fix, and calendars to finish. all before January! and I plan on having time to relax.
so… I’ve decided to take a little break from blogging to get some things done. as always it’ll be hard to stay away, and I’ll be reading up on google reader and posting a few things between now and then…. but I’m signing off until after Christmas.
dlb and I will be in Idaho with his family for Christmas. our presents are wrapped and awaiting their destiny. our tiny tree is ready to be planted. and I’m ready to brave the snow! while I’m in Idaho, I’m going to try out my snowboarding legs out to see if they’re made for it. let’s just hope the mountain doesn’t get the best of me.

as I said before, I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many calendars. my tiny calendar is now for sale in my shop. please be sure to stop by and keep an eye out for updates to come. I’m very thrilled at the new things that will be popping up in my shop in the new year and this calendar is just one of the many great things I’ve been planning. {the image above is just one of the lovely shots from my calendar}

while I’m gone, I encourage you to check out some of the links in my sidebar, which I just updated about a week ago with long over due blog love to mention. there is lots of greatness out there, and these are just a few of my favorites.

until then……

thanks for the sweet comments on my tiny calendar. yes, it is for sale.
you can never have too many calendars to adorn your walls. I’ve printed them for gifts and I’ve got a couple left which are now in my shop. I’ll be printing more after Christmas, but in limited quantity. purchase them here. you can see additional pictures here and here.

{I’ve got two in my shop today. there will be another shop update Thursday, December 27, stay tuned}
