IMPORTANT NOTES: Keepin' the Designs FREE, Wait List, Etc.

Whew what a week!  With such a week we must update you all and ask you to read this post in its entirety.  We have received so many visits and orders and those who are grabbin' our buttons and even our followers are continuously growing!! Thank you all!! In just one week our 2010 queue has filled and we are now taking orders for our 2011 wait list. Although 2011 is right at a year away we recommend you to go ahead and fill out the order form if you think you'll be wanting us to do you a design as we usually do our projects in the order they are received.

Now the next topic...we have decided to still keep our designs free for the time being (as a trial period and if this works out we will continue to keep things FREE for the time being but we are going to need everyone's support).  If this doesn't work out, we will begin putting price tags on the orders for 2011, so hopefully everyone working as a team can keep our designs without a price tag.  While I realize that not everyone can offer up any amount for a custom design there are others whose piggy banks are probably fuller than mine and could at least offer up some kind of tip for my time. This is why I have decided not to put a price tag on the designs at this time...they are FREE and if you can't offer a tip for whatever reason that is okay, but for those who can...at the time of your design (although it will not be mandatory) there will be an option for you to offer a tip of whatever amount upon your design project being finalized. Tips are not required but much appreciated, as although I usually (with most situations) can do designs in a two week time frame for my schedule...this is my valuable time and I am tryin' to keep things free and affordable for everyone...a tip here and there can encourage me to keep it this way.  Instead of me charging a set price or even a humungous price I have decided to keep it free as long as I can get consistent tips (no matter the amount).  Like I said this is a trial period...and if everything works out with me getting at least some tips, maybe we can continue 2011 the same way...but if I continuously do this work without receiving anything then I will have no choice but to start putting a price tag on my orders for the 2011 calendar year.  As of this post I reserve the right to hopefully not have to put a price tag on the 2011 orders and still design free custom orders, but it all depends on the response in regards to tips of whatever amount...I don't have to receive one from everyone, but it would be nice to receive one at least every now and then.  If all else fails, and the tip idea doesn't work out for whatever reason, and then I decide that I must put a price tag on my 2011 orders, the clients on the wait list will have the option of either paying or being taken off of the wait list without penalties.  All of your support is greatly appreciated!!

Again, 2010 has already begun to prove to be successful...thank you SO MUCH everyone!! :)

Hey, I think it's great that you're offering custom layouts for free like that. I saw your post on MBC and thought I'd take a peek :)

Do you have any examples of the work you'd be doing for folks?
