updatey goodness

I haven’t really posted in a while. Everyone is well. Dor made honor roll last quarter, Mal got an “honorable mention” for trying hard. Mal is having some trouble in school – not from a knowledge stance, but from an activity/participation stance. We’ll have a meeting soon to figure out what to do. I think we’re due for a mid year IEP anyway.

Thanksgiving was nice – my gram and aunt came over, we had a feast. Ham, roastbeast, brisket, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, green beans, macaroni & cheese, garlic potatoes, party potatoes, and I can’t remember what else. We recently ran out of leftovers (rightovers).

I went in and had my hair done up in dread-twists on this past Monday. These photos are from today. They took 7.5 hours from start to finish (minus a 20 minute break).

Yes, they are small – they will bulk up a bit once the twist lets go a little, and I wanted the smaller ones for better coverage. I have them sort of pinned back in these photos.

I have been busting my ass over at azxureDawn to not only get work done that I have, but bring in more. I can’t win – either I am too idle for my own happiness, or I am too swamped to keep up. I wish I could find a happy medium.

I am going with my dad in two weeks to finish the kids holiday shopping, but most of it is done. I didn’t stand by not spending any money this year, but all told I think we spent under 150$ on all three combined. We got some inexpensive little stuff, and Michael got some good black Friday deals. They each got a metal slinky, a mini gumball machine and legos. We also got a SpeedRacer Wii game, Guess Who, some other Wii game (I can’t rememeber – it was a collection of mini games), the Ladybug Game, Kung Fu Panda (10$ @ CVS!), HotWheels Wii game, a dinosaur game and a sea monster game. Eshiva is getting one more thing picked up this evening, and my dad will get them each two more things (I try very hard to give one thing every night of Channukah, so they each get eight total). Dor asked for more Star Wars books and another Didj game, so there are his two, and I have no clue what to get the other two. I also need to pick up a cord for my brother and one more gift (they’ve outgrown needing eight things… I hope!), and something for my sister, and something for my dad. I am thoroughly stumped on his gift. Michael got a new tattoo machine and a GPS for his holidays gifts (he totally got them both himself, but both were splurges).

Look, she’s at it again! Need graphic or web work?

You can see my new store here – a lot of the categories are empty right now as I am not quite done stocking it but if you want something in an empty category, just let me know!

My Alt Bazaar shop is here and it’s got a smaller selection of items.

I spent today trying to install a coupon mod but the one I have is outdated (oh, by about three years) and the guy who scripted it hasn’t gotten back to me yet. Until he does, in lieu of a coupon, I am offering a 7.5% (that seven and a half, not seventy five) store-wide discount. Why? It’s a fun number!

Discount only applies in my aD shop, not The Alt Bazaar.

This is Jenn. This is Jenn whoring herself out. Any takers? Graphic Design/Web Design – PM discounts inside!

Prices good for one week only – through 9/24/2008 I may extend this special at that time, but that is my current cut-off date, so if you want something, speak up!

I need a small chunk of change this week. I don’t really have anything I am quick-sale or am really willing to get rid of at this time. I do have art skills. Do you need any of this stuff?

Web stuff (all web stuff requires you have hosting somewhere – I am not offering hosting or registration or anything other than a coded page/graphics):

A single page, a splash page, coming soon, or a simple site just saying “You know you want to check me out!” If you are looking for tons of detail or lots of pages, this isn’t for you.
Estimate: $75-$150 $50 flat rate, one page, brand new design.

Five to seven basic pages. Certainty probably includes news, about, contact, products, FAQ and one or two other similar pages. It might be powered by WordPress or a similar blogging program. You must have your copy (text), a logo and any images you want to use. This includes bare bones image manipulation, but no unique image creation. If you are lacking any of those things, I can provide them at an additional fee. This package is good for a brand spankin’ new site or site redesign and reworking. Some basic graphic design is included with this.
Estimate: $100-$400 $100 – $250

Logo Design
This is you. This is the single most identifiable part of you and your business/project. Let’s make it perfect. This can be a simple text logo, a graphic and text, or just graphic. It can be the start of your empire, or I can go with a design you already have.
$75 & up
For example, 75$ will get you one logo with up to three free revisions. For 100$ I will typically do three designs, and three revisions on one of them.I’ll do a single logo, three revisions for 50$, three designs plus revisions on one for 80$

Ad Banners & Buttons
Like a logo, these can be text, a graphic or a graphic & text. I can make a brand new banner for you, or redesign an older one you already have.
$2515 gets you a static banner, $4030 & up gets you animation

Desktop Wallpaper
Just something for fun. This is probably your logo and one or two other things to dress it up. Offer it as a free download on your site!
$35$25 & up, you receive multiple sizes and resolutions

Business Cards
I can design your business cards to match your site and logo, or it can be a completely different direction. This does not include printing.
$55$40 & up

Didn’t see what you needed? Email me and ask!

How do I pay you Jenn? Good question! I accept PayPal or a check by mail. I will give you my payment information once we decide what we are doing, and I will begin your work once your payment clears.

New hair makes the world go round

Posted by Jennifer on Aug 20, 2008 in General | Comments Off

Got my hair done this morning – going back next Wednesday to fix the bottom. It didn’t lift the old red out, so we’re making it blue! It’s supposed to be light (gold) on the bottom, coppery in the middle and bright red on top. Chrissy used a 10x peroxide first and it didn’t lift at all, so she went back and used a 40x and it still didn’t pull the red. We were going to try again next week, but blue it is! That way I am not killing my hair. I’m excited! We were out of time, so she did a quick messy up-do. Next week we’ll have more time and it’ll be more of the usual run-way love she tends to do.

But wait, there’s more!

I’ve imported my blogs from azxuredawn.com, but today is a new day my friends! Instead of being quite so egocentric, I am going to at least try and post helpful things.

Ok, it will still be completely egocentric, but in a much more helpful kind of way.
