Business is open

I thought I'll have a chance to take it easy after finishing my first big project with one of my clients but it seems like momentum is on my side. It took me a long time to finally finish my first RFP (request for proposal). Hopefully future RFPs will be a little bit easier to do. As a freelance graphic designer one might think I have the time to design my own business card, to the contrary, I have designed a number of business cards and other marketing material but not for my own business. There's something not quite right about that.

It's not all complains here, I am very appreciative of all this "business" (being busy). Two days ago I finally got a copy of the coupon book I worked on in July. I of course checked the ads I designed and my very own coupon for Dressed Art. I was thrilled to see my logo in print! Now its really sinking in that I have to get the website done, get samples done so I can approach partnering locations to display a couple of samples, design a postcard insert for the ... oh did I mention that I have an opportunity of being a vendor to the Mom's Night Out trade show!

Now I think I consider myself a business woman!

My first blog entry

I've finally made it to the "blog world"! I took me a while but now I'm glad I did it.  Another entry on my ever growing to do list, checked off. I just finished a big project for a client and I am now finally getting my web portfolio ready. Watch out for my new website called Dressed Art to be launched (hopefully) by the end of August.
