Woohoo

I've got my first real customer. It may just be my cousin's wife but it's still a proper paying customer :)   Just waiting for an email of the photos and baby C's details and off we go....

I finally finished my Christmas cards last Thursday and took them into Harvey Norman to get printed before we went down south Friday morning. They had maintenance happening on their photo printer but said the photos would be printed by about 4.00pm. I almost forgot to go and pick them up and when I arrived just after 5.00pm the maintenance guy was still doing their thing on the printer. The new sign said photos would be ready the next day, grrrr. Luckily before I was able to ask someone about the photos the maintenance guy left and photos could be printed out. My order was one of the first printed as I had placed the order just after 9.00am. I was able to give out my cards to family while we were away which saved on postage!

Another grrr - the cards don't fit in the envelopes that I had bought. So off to the shops to get the correct sized ones and to post off my business name application.

Deleted

I've decided to delete the PayPal links on my older posts. I have no idea if they work properly and I'm not sure I'm ready to have it on my page anyway. I saw someone else have it on theirs so I just had to have a play.

I've had no more clicks on my OZtion listings. One runs out on 1/12 so i will see if I get any bites as the date gets closer.

I have not had much time to play around with signatures or invitations in the last couple of weeks... It doesn't help that I've got into the blogging business either! Blogging takes up a bit of my time because I can't decide what to write and I go back and re-read things about 5 times before posting! I'm terrible!

I attempted to take photos of Miss M in her Christmas shirt and hat again tonight. She was not happy and I only got 2 photos, none of which look any good. Then tea was ready and she fell asleep while I was feeding her - she's not a very good eater so I have to force her help her out a little. Before 7pm too - so now I have a free night to try and do our cards and fiddle with a photo to look like a Christmas one!

It didn't take me long....

...to get organised and start a more personal blog. You can find my first post here.

I've been quite busy the last couple of days and still haven't got around to finishing my templates. I have however half completed the labels I need for the Sand Art Brownies and Christmas Cookies gifts that I will be giving to some family members this Christmas.

I still have a couple of signatures to create and our own Christmas card to do.... I need more hours in the day I think.

Good ol' EB

I have the wonderful world of EB and nassie_gal78 to thank for all my new followers (and followees - which isn't even a word, lol).

So today, rather than finish re-doing my templates, I've been reading everyone's blogs. They're all so great. I wish I had the talent for writing, but  then again if I had that I may not have the talent I have for other things.

I tell a lie, I haven't spent ALL day reading blogs, I have also watched 3 more episodes of Gossip Girl. I can't get enough of that show. And of course there's the washing, dishes, making hubby lunch, getting dinner organised.... can't forget about all those things. And the best part about Mondays and Miss M being at daycare - blaring out the neighbours with the new Bon Jovi album "The Circle". Oops, sorry neighbours... I will convert you all, **insert evil laugh here**

I've been inspired by some of you to create a more personal blog too, so maybe one day I might get my act into gear and start one.

Well off to the shops and then to pick up Miss M. Enjoy your evening.

Where has the weekend gone?

I can't believe Sunday is almost over already.

Well Sam's Christmas card is on the go, and also a nice little design card that would be great to give her daughter for Christmas.

I'm currently in the process of designing a calendar, baby shower invites, baby thank you cards, kitchen tea invites, hens night invites and a logo for a friend who is currently starting up a photography business.

Update on losing my templates: I sat down last night and redid 14 of the invites, and I was right, it didn't take as long to do them the second time around. Luckily I had a hard copy of some of them that I could copy from. Daycare for Miss M tomorrow so I have a free day to finish it all.

I really want to get my Christmas cards out before the weekend but trying to get Miss M into a nice outfit to get a nice photo just isn't happening. I even bought her a Christmas shirt and put it on her today. But what did she do? Fell asleep, lol.

That's it from me. Have a berry nice night.

CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!

I was just re-arranging folders on my computer and moving the invite templates around. The "Cut & Paste" wasn't working properly (asking for Admin stuff) and now I have lost ALL of my invite templates that weren't character related.

All the age birthday ones that I had done (that are listed on OZtion) are no longer...

Looks like I'm going to be busy now re-doing all the templates, grrr. Lucky I have them listed on OZtion so I know what they look like and can copy them.

One good thing.... It doesn't take as long the second time around :P

Giveaway

I decided to reward the first member to my facebook page with a free invite/card, so congratulations Sam your Christmas card should be in your inbox very soon :)   Having some sort of competition each month may be something to think about too. What type of competitions to run though?

Sam has also asked me if I do personalised calendars (one photo with a 12 month calendar underneath). I have made calendars in the past so I might have to add these to my services. I just have to figure out a  price. How much would you expect to pay for something like this?

I also had a query about doing wedding invites. That's pretty exciting. Once again I need to figure out a price though. The invites would have to probably be done the old fashioned way (lol) so place cards etc can be done too.

I've had a couple of clicks on my listings on OZtion, which means people are looking. No bites yet though.

I still have no idea if my PayPal link on here works and I probably won't know until someone decides to purchase an invite.... hmmm, maybe one day ;-)  

Have a berry lovely evening.

A few more examples

After seeing some Disney and other character invitations being sold on Ebay I thought I'd have a go at doing some as well.

FOR BOYS:

FOR GIRLS:

 

 

I am still yet to work out how to organise PayPal etc for this site. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated :)

BDD welcomes you all to my blog

Hi everybody and welcome to my blog.

I thought it was about time to start getting organised. I'm applying for a business name and have listed some invitations etc on www.OZtion.com.au. Hopefully I sell some soon.

Below is some samples of invitations etc that I have recently done.

 

I think that's enough for now. I have a lot more but will save them for later posts. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing some invitations (I hope I'm allowed to do it this way, it's all new to me). I can create to your specifications too.

Have a Berry nice night
