I’ve been planning this for a while, but with so much going on over the past couple of months it has been hard to get myself organized. However, I have finally gotten the first 6 pre-made web designs uploaded! These designs are made to work with Mals cart sites and you can have your own website up and running in about a week!

My packages also come with other items to help brand yourself for a more complete internet identity, including advertising banners and a 300dpi printable business card template.

Here are some quick thumbnail glances of the new designs:

I’d love to hear what you think of these designs and what kinds of other designs you’d be interested in seeing!

I’ve had so many people asking about my Winter designs, but have had so much going on in the past few weeks that I had not had a chance to get them all listed. However, this morning I made some time and all the designs are up and ready to view.

I’m especially proud to introduce two brand new designs for this season:

Yesterday, I had to have my 13 year old cocker spaniel euthanized. Today, nothing seems right in my house. For the last few days, I have been pre-occupied with his health and have had to put many things on hold while I tended to him, so I apologize for email delays. This comes on top of my computer dying the middle of last week, so for now I am struggling to catch up, but being busy is helping.

I am a huge fan of the Summer Olympics, and I have scheduled my vacation to coincide with the first week of the games. I will be mostly unavailable between August 11th - August 15th. If you need technical support, I will be checking my email daily to offer help and answer questions. I will try to get new purchases done within my normal time scale, but all custom work will be and custom work requests will be put on hold until the 18th.

Also, an update about our new kitty! She has now had all of her initial shots and with all that loving care she is flourishing and has already doubled her weight from when we found her and is now almost old enough to be spayed, so we’ll be tackling that in the next month or so. My dog (an older cocker spaniel) has been a trooper and is pretty patient with her (but she has been told that his biscuits are totally off limits!) Overall, we’re all getting along great and happy to have a new friend in our home!

After some delays, I have finally listed all of my Fall and Halloween designs into the Seasonal category of my store. Next up is getting my Winter/Christmas designs listed, as it the busy holiday selling season is fast approaching!

Although this isn’t strictly work-related, this past weekend was a real roller coaster! This weekend we rescued a kitten we found wailing in some bushes on Friday. She was infested with fleas and heart-breakingly lonely. After a bath and a trip to the vet (and a weekend of ups, downs and litter box training) — our new little princess has found her glass slipper and is fitting right into our household.

She spends plenty of time talking to us, and likes to sit by my mouse pad to make sure I am doing everything right.

I’ve finally had an opportunity to list the new designs I mentioned last week, so check them out if you get a chance:

Check back to get updates on more upcoming designs!

Here is a quick preview of some new designs I have been working on! I also have a few more up and coming, and will send out my newsletter as soon as I have them listed!

I’ve been really bowled over by the response I have been getting to the new website and web store! Moving away from an eBay-centric sales model was pretty daunting, but so far so good!

I have a few new designs sitting on the back burner, but have been having trouble getting some free time to work on them. Hopefully, I will have new designs up next week and will send out a newsletter when I have them done.

With my business becoming more web-centric than eBay centric, I wanted to be sure to include a place where I can easily keep everyone up to date with news, information about what I am working on and info about new products.

I’m also interested in networking with other eBay sellers, so if you have a blog for your eBay business drop me a message and let me know the blog link!
