Chocolate Cactus Designs

NEW - birth announcements with a "little" bonus

Several of of you have asked if I would do some announcements that were more elegant versus the modern I usually do, so here you go!

As a bonus, I also designed some "Skinny Minnies" that are folded 2x7 bookmarks - one to coordinate with each of the announcements. Use these as you wish - as thank you's for the new mom to send out, as calling cards for baby, or even as little tiny birth announcements - the tiny possibilities are endless!

There are 3 cards in the set, and 3 coordinating bookmarks. The cards are 5x7 and the bookmarks are 2x7 designed as folded (so the size of a business card when folded in half). All are 300 resolution and completely editable when it comes to colors. Because of that, this makes these cards extremely versatile - make them pink, blue, green, keep them black for a sleeker look, etc. Remember that fonts play a huge part as well! Different font/color combos can give a different feel to these.

These are priced at $40 for all 6 pieces. You can send payment via PayPal to jodi (at) chocolatecactus.com, and be sure to put "Simply Elegant" birth announcements as the subject so I know what to send you! They will be sent within 48 hours of payment.

The flu, more flu, and a plane ride.

Just an update...

It has been a whirlwind in the Cactus household as of late. First, hubby Bell was struck with the flu bug last week (and we all know what that means - mama Bell had to baby him, jeez!). Then one of the little Bell's was struck with the bug, too. He has been running very high fevers, etc. and just generally pitiful. So with all of this, plus the regular load of emails and work, I have been very occupied. I am still catching up on emails and will reply - just give me an extra couple of days. And the little Bell is much better now, on the mend!

Speaking of emails... Just a reminder that I receive a very high volume of emails daily. As it says on my site, please allow 2-3 business days for a reply from me. I swear I could hire someone *just* to handle emails and that in and of itself could be a full-time job. No kidding!

Also, I will be out of the office starting later this afternoon and will be off tomorrow (Friday) as well due to an out of state trip to Virginia to see a client. I will be back on Monday, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel. (And wish me luck as I am a white knuckle flyer = wuss.) *grin*

And just another thanks for keeping me on my toes. I adore and respect each and every one of my clients! And I'll just forward you the bill for the Carpal Tunnel Specialist. Ha.

Been ill

To all of my clients - just a quick note to let you all know that I have been sick with a dual infection. I will be back on track Monday morning as I have a lot of things that are either completed and simply need to be sent out, or things that will be finished Monday. Please know that I am not ignoring emails, I simply have not been on email at all due to trying to get well.

Thanks for your understanding,
Jodi

Waiting List

Yes folks, you have kept me on my toes lately! Email response times are 2-3 days out due to the high number of emails I receive daily, so bear with me!

I also have a waiting list for design that is about 2 weeks out. If you want some design work done, you would be placed on the list with payment. Two weeks is the max time it would take for me to get going on your work, could be sooner. So if you need some work done, I highly recommend getting on the list as it could grow longer by the day.

Will check back in soon! Lots of things in the works, too.
