Bombarded

That's how I've felt the past couple of weeks. After a REEEEEAAALLLY slow summer, everyone has suddenly decided to get back and track with their marketing. That's great, except for the fact that everyone wants everything NOW! So, life's been interesting...but I'm managing. In the last week and a half I've picked up 13 new projects. Add those to the other 4 or 5 I've got going on and we're talking a real party in the office of Libby Design!! It's all good.

Luckily I've had a real nice mix of things I've been working on. A few brochures, some sell sheets, a couple web splash page designs, some corporate branding strategy projects, a few banner designs, adoption announcements & wedding invitations...there's lots more, but you get the idea. I just keep telling myself, "Who needs sleep...you can sleep next month after the paychecks roll in".

Below is a brochure I finished up today for an Interior Design/Home Staging business. Turned out pretty nice. Can't wait to see the actual printed piece.



All in all, things are going pretty well. Looking forward to the start of school, though. :)

Still kickin'

Yes, I realize it's been a while since I posted something. This whole "summer" thing has really thrown a kink in my working-from-home routine. Kids + husbands golfing + therapy appointments + too many other commitments = not much time for work.

Here's a quick rundown on where things are at with the 'ole business - things have continued to be fairly slow over the summer (which has worked out just fine given the above mentioned equation of what my summer schedule has looked like). Tomorrow, however, I have a meeting with a brand new client who has several projects for me. I'm pretty pumped about that. Then I have another meeting tomorrow afternoon for a new project with the Minnesota Humane Society. Woohoo! Thursday morning I have a creative session scheduled with another client for a big project for Walls Outdoors - we're re-doing all of their in-store signage and a few other items that will be used in Wal-mart and Kmart. I've also got a few other projects going on, including a fundraising kit for Normandale Community College and a patient information/welcome kit for Northwest Eye. Oh yes, and I had an exciting moment the other day when I was driving and saw the new logo I did for Northwest Eye (FYI - it's not on their website yet) on a sign for one of the places they're opening a new location at. Excitement.

All in all, things are going okay, but I'm definitely ready for the school year to being and life to get back to "normal" - or at least what I consider "normal".
