oh man! things have been so crazy busy lately. i may have already posted this, but even so it just proves my point. life for me has consisted of designs, designs, designs, and i love it! getting everything on the website for notably noted is easy, but so time consuming. plus i post new designs to facebook to raise awareness and keep people interested. for every design i create i have 4 or 5 different file types. again, easy but time consuming. png files show colors true to the color i created; i use png files on facebook and any advertising collateral. the website only allows jpg, so i create a jpg file. when i put a file on the website, i don't watermark it with my logo, but when i post on facebook, i do. it's neverending it seems. but i'm not complaining. i really do love it. it's been a dream/goal of mine for so long. no; not complaining. just explaining the process.
orders have started to come in, and that's very exciting. i wish it would pick up a bit more, and hope that with the holidays right around the corner it will.
sierra's birthday is at the end of the week. i can hardly believe that she will be 16!!! it kind of snuck up on us and with my parents' business, it's always hard to have special events on friday and saturday unless we want to do it at the pool hall. i think we'll have the traditional family birthday party on sunday afternoon. my mom usually cooks and everyone comes over to the house for cake. i seriously can't belive how old she is ... and in relation how old i am! =)
mandi and i were talking earlier this week and i remember when i turned 16. she {mandi} and i were still corresponding via letters and postcards.
oh! and speaking of mandi, i think she's going to help design a line of gift items for notably noted ... but we'll save the surprise until the product line is ready to launch. i'm super excited about it though! {for those who don't know, mandi is my cousin. my mom's brother's daughter. she's one of my favorite people and the cousin i am probably the closest to. we don't get to see each other often {even though she only lives in owasso!} but i feel like we always pick up right where we left off, and i know i can trust her with anything}. i'm excited that we'll get to work together on something like this ... and who knows ... maybe a store front in the future.
elever is still in need of a new name. you'd think that since i consider myself a creative person i would have invented one by now ... but alas, i have not. any ideas? send them my way.
happy rainy friday!
oh, wait. i also wanted to mention how much i am actually enjoying all of this rain. i know a lot of people are complaining about it and ready for it to go away, but i'm loving it. which is surprising. i usually only like rain if i am at home curled up with a cozy blanket and a book. too many days without sun and i tend to get a little sour mood. right now, i love! the rain. i don't mind if it stays. maybe i could live in a place like seattle afterall ... though san francisco has still been on my heart and mind a lot lately.
okay, i really am going to get back to billing for sixbyte now. it's just so hard to crunch numbers and send out invoices when i have a million and one more creative, interesting things on my mind.
much love darlings. xoxo.
