Introducing Hollyrose Aromatherapy, my newest design!

My latest design, Hollyrose Aromatherapy! Love the simple, sleek look she wanted! And just look at her products, absolutely beautiful! Go check out her site! http://www.hollyrosearomatherapy.com/.

Ok...so I just took the Christmas Decorations down!

So, its only almost Valentine's Day and I just took the Christmas decor down on the blog...its been crazy here! (I actually just got the decorations down in the house last week, too, but that's another story for another day!)

But to show you what I have been up to, see my latest design at www.stylesanctum.com. Loved working with Nicole, she was so much fun! We are still adding more features, but she wanted clean and classic, and I think we achieved it with a clean flash entry, custom "closets" for her clients, custom forms, and more to come!

We are at the tail end of the auction sites for the benefit for Mary at Isabella's Closet. Should have the sites and urls to show you in the next day or so, I hope!

If you are looking for a custom design, a flash entry, custom forms with image or file upload capability, contact me! I also now offer font viewers for those of you who do custom embroidery, invitations, cards, any kind of personalization where you would like your customer to be able to preview the font they choose before they buy. Want a forum installed? I do that too!
We are now also offering blog designs...match your current site or just spiff up your blog...from vintage and antique themed, to cool and classic, we can do it! Contact me for a quote on any of the above!

And last of all, a very Happy Valentine's Day to you all! Hope you all OD on chocolate, I know I plan to!

Uh...Comcast????

So, it is thursday, the 24th...I have been without internet service from last thursday until yesterday, and even then, it was up, down, up, down...Comcast comes out, and of course, 5 minutes before the serviceman arrives..it goes back up...he leaves...its down again...I have had 3 service calls here, but soon after they leave, it goes down again....It has to be due to the cold weather, since I saw the ATT truck playing around with all the phone and cable lines outside, too. Scary, its supposed to get very cold again this weekend....

But to move on, the winners of the auctions for the web design were Jill and Missy, and we are in the initial design phases....well, we were until I couldn't communicate with them anymore...but keep your eyes open, if I have service for a few days constant, hope to have them up and running by next week.....if you don't hear from me....well, I'll give you one guess why! (Comcast)

Auction Winners!

Well, the gavel is down!
We had a tie for the winning bid, so we now have 2 winner!
soooo, Jill and Missy, contact me, you are the proud owners of new internet businesses!
Thank you for helping!

Yay! We have our first bid for Mary!

I'm happy to say we have a bid for the free website design, with proceeds going to Mary! Bidding will close 24 hours from now, monday night, at 9:44pm central time....the bid is at 100.00, so if you want a site, bid now! This is a custom design, to your specs, your only other expense is either Merchant Moms hosting and admin...so hurry!

Web Design Auction for Mary Isabella's Closet

Hi all, I have not been on for quite some time, but an emergency came up, and now is the time. If you haven't heard, Mary from Isabellascloset is ill and in need of our help. You can read about it http://www.isabellascloset.blogspot.com/. Now, if you don't know Mary, you should, as she is probably the kindest woman I have met on the internet, she is the most unselfish, giving person!

Since I had a bad year myself, and will probably close my other business, the LilCottageShoppe, I have no funds to contribute, but what I do have is a new business, my web design business.

So, through my blog, I will be auctioning off a web design. The bids will start at 100.00. All proceeds will be paid directly to Mary's paypal account to help her pay for meds. Take a look at my portfolio, although it is still small, rest assured, I am not happy till you are. You tell me your vision of your website and we will get it done!
So, come on....start bidding now.....send all bids to this link please....
http://retroboutiques.com/contact.php and make sure to put in the subject line, Bids for Mary!

Lets give back to the woman who has given so much to us for so long, its her turn!

I will announce when I receive the first bid, and the bidding will then close 48 hours from then!

Hugs,
Arlene
