Well, hey! As usual, blogging has not been my priority here nor <a href="http://sharonthefun.blogspot.com/">there</a> for the last several months. Blog <i>designing</i>, on the other hand, has still been going on. <a href="http://www.strictlynutritious.com/">Here</a> is a design that I just finished up this week for a fantastic client named Lauren. She is just starting up a health coaching business, so I designed a new website and blog for her. I really love how it turned out.</div>

That profile belongs to our third baby girl who will be making her appearance in less than 6 weeks. <b>I still have room for invitation and announcement design, as well as any other simple projects you may have in mind</b>. I will be taking a break from all projects around mid-May, and will return...well...when I get used to our new normal around here. ;) </div>

Hey there! I hope you had a great Christmas and that your new year is off to a great start. I am now taking orders again for all services, both blog and print. I will be taking maternity leave around the beginning of May (baby GIRL #3!), so I will likely just leave my list open until all available spaces are booked. Right now, the estimated wait time is relatively short, so <a href="http://www.redbuddesigns.net/p/var-host-https-document_20.html">let me know</a> how I can help you!</div>

If the way I keep up with this blog is any indication, I have been super busy! I have also been trying to be better about balancing my time between my family and my work. I am nowhere near perfect yet, but I'm slowly starting to figure some things out, and that feels good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which brings me to Christmas cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have already had a few ask about them, so I thought I better put up an announcement about this year. Here's the deal. I think I am going to sit this year out. I have done Christmas card designs the past four Christmases, and they are at the top of my list of favorite things to design. But. This year I think I am going to focus on enjoying the holidays and traditions with my family and...that's all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBdkWM9p5Lrk7qOxbbS5-3A1rMggxqoCXFuYuArabTCxWH_sVKjJuUsr-mShzmU7sUdRr7XNVxg-KOoCXocOrLQ8zHjOHEFWEfgkBSgrTP5iDIt2EuG1UpRVmEMMcFyMgI-Ir-AFQ6L6-W/s400/IMG_6191.JPG" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope my loyal Christmas clients understand, and I do imagine that I am going to miss designing Christmas cards so much that I'll be back next year. ;) In the meantime, let me point you in the right direction of a couple of talented designers and friends of mine...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ashley of <a href="http://snowbirddesign.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">Snowbird Design</span></a> is offering super cute and affordable pre-designed and custom designs.</div>

We just returned from Texas this morning, and I'm excited to get back to Redbudding. :) I hope to open the wait list back up within the next week or two. I'll be making some changes to my services, catching up on some projects that I wasn't able to get to before Christmas, and updating the premade shop with invite and announcement designs - and once everything is ready, I'll start taking new orders again! Thank you so much for your patience until then.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Because of this new discovery of several new design orders, I will be <b>closing my wait list</b> until further notice so that I can accomodate those of you who haven't heard from me.

Do yourself a favor and check out her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GraceyMay">Etsy</a>. She's so creative and talented. <a href="http://melissaprevost.blogspot.com/">Melissa</a> gave me the super cute mug, and <a href="http://www.weelittlehouse.com/">Jen</a> gave me that beautiful soap dish!

About a week ago, my <a href="http://sharonthefun.blogspot.com/2011/02/introducing.html">precious nephew</a> celebrated his first birthday. I was honored to design the invite for his first party!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My <a href="http://sharonthefun.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-birthday-macy_03.html">niece's birthday</a> was yesterday, mine is today, and my brother's is in a few days. Up at the end of March would be my little girl Merit's THIRD birthday. I've been working on her invitation design, and we had a backyard photo shoot yesterday to try to get a good pic for the invite. These four are my favorites...how will I ever choose??</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Speaking of birthdays, don't forget to enter the <a href="http://redbuddesigns.blogspot.com/2011/03/giveaway.html">birthday week giveaway</a> for $80 Redbud shop credit. You don't have to use it toward a blog design...maybe you also have a birthday celebration coming up that needs an invitation! OR maybe you could give it as a birthday present to someone you love. Whatever you'd choose to do with it, you can't win if you don't enter. Feel free to do so before the end of the day Sunday!</div>sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15919791024115507838noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653084495141077006.post-39392263561524141672011-03-01T16:59:00.002-06:002011-03-07T11:36:41.362-06:00giveaway!<div style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: red;">-- this giveaway has closed --</i></div><br />

The Queen Bee Market sounds like such a fun event, and with these two girls running it I don't see how it could be anything short of fabulous. I designed a splash page - something that is becoming more and more popular, especially for business blogs - in addition to the actual blog design. A splash page acts as a sort of home page and is especially helpful if you want to give your readers some options when first coming to your site. (I also have a splash page for Redbud's <a href="http://www.redbuddesigns.net/">new site</a>.) If you are interested in adding a splash page to your existing design or a new design, shoot me an <a href="mailto:sharon.redbu@gmail.com">email</a>, and we'll talk!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was also honored to get to do Jessica's new design for her Allora Handmade blog. She makes the most beautiful accessories out of handmade rosettes that I've admired forever. (I have my eye on <a href="http://www.allorahandmade.bigcartel.com/product/new-baby-rosies-headbands-3-pack">these</a> for my babies and <a href="http://www.allorahandmade.bigcartel.com/product/double-trouble-rosette-on-black-satin-u-shape-headband">this</a> for me!) You must go check out her shop after you go and follow her blog! Jessica already had a splash page for her site, so she needed something that coordinated and helped her splash, shop, and blog feel cohesive. Go take a <a href="http://allorahandmade.com/">look</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This last design was for a friend of mine that I've known since elementary school. Brandie was actually with me at a church retreat in junior high when I first started crushin' on the boy who is now my husband! (We also may or may not have performed a routine together in the school talent show to the tune of Garth Brooks' "Papa Loved Mama".) So thankful to still be in touch with her and loved getting to design her cute family's <a href="http://thehalsells.blogspot.com/">blog</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
