announcing...

Yep, it's official I'm a card maker!

I've wanted to create custom photo announcements and invitations for a long time, I just never had the proper programs to make them professional enough. But for my birthday Blaine and his parents got me the necessary software and I've been busy ever since!

I have a lot to learn and a long way to go before I learn everything I need to know about graphic design, but I have to start somewhere...so here's my start!

Check out the blog http://thepaperegg.blogspot.com/ and get the word out if ya would! I'm still stocking the blog with cards (right now there are a lot of baby announcements on there because that's what I've been getting a lot of requests for) but I can always come up with a custom order for you if you don't see something you like! And I hope to get a lot more Christmas cards on there seeing as how the holidays are just around the corner!

I've also been working on a little blog design and business cards for a crochet company called My Tangled Skeins. Here's the business card I made for the company.

I also want to give a special shout out to my sister-in-law, Rachel. She's been referring people to me like crazy and I wouldn't have all the business I already have had without her! Thanks Rach!!! Along with being great at referrals Rachel is a photographer, check out her site.

2009?

The holidays are officially over and I want them back. They went by way too fast and they have also taken half of our family with them. It was great to have all of Blaine's family in town this past week. It gets more exciting every year as his side of the family continues to grow.

We managed to sneak in some sass even though we ALL had the stomach flu during the holidays

So now here we are, 2009. I know this is supposed to be the year of "change" (I'm so sick of that saying) and everyone hated 2008...but really I'm kind of sad to see it go. When I step back and review the last year, Blaine and I were truly blessed. Although life did not go as we had planned, at all in many aspects, 2008 turned out pretty good.

Now I'm not one for new year's resolutions, I mean my life needs improving in all areas, I just think new year's resolutions are weird. But don't think I forgot about this goal I made in 2008. I'm working on it. I've designed a few things here and there, and made my in-law's Christmas cards they send to everyone, but without actual design software that goal is on hold. And with more important things to save for it's definitely on hold. So what does 2009 hold for the Turnbow's??? Good things I'm sure! We really are happy and live a good life. What about you? What does 2009 hold for you?

thank you card
