Can You Do Me a Favor?

Can you help my Awesome Monkeys? They are my 9 and 2 year old cousins with juvenile diabetes. If you are on Facebook would you join Chase Community Giving and vote for them, please? It costs nothing and you are given 20 votes to "spend" on any 20 wonderful charities you like. It would make my whole year if you chose the DYF walk in Sacramento. The walk raises money to send kids with diabetes to camp, they get a week of being happy, fun, care-free boys and girls! I will be there this year to help out, so drop by and say hello and I will thank you in person.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

Fondly,
Tricia-Rennea

Custom Note Paper Give Away

I have so much fun with these give-aways because I can gift to more than one person! This one is FREE for everyone who writes with a request before I finish my peppermint mocha tomorrow morning.

Custom note-paper! Write to me with the color you would like and the name or initials. This one is a little bit trickier because of the monogram, but here is what I need to know

The color paper you would like (pink, purple, blue or yellow)
If you want a name, the name spelled how you like it (It will be cut and pasted into place)
If you want a monogram, the letters in the order you want them in, so if you want your last initial in the center, put it in the middle please. for example if you name is Sue Anne Smith and you want s in the middle write SSA. If you want the middle name in the middle write SAS.
If you do not want the middle letter slighter larger than the others, please state so, otherwise it will be.

You will receive a PDF file with two pages on it, print out as many as you like! This would make a pretty gift with the pages tied together in a coordinating ribbon.

If you cannot open PDF files, let me know in your note and I will send it as a high-resolution .png image.

Thank you, I look forward to sending you your custom stationery.

Have a beautiful evening,
Tricia

Free 2-hour (or so) Give-away

Aren't these monogrammed ornaments just swell! Guess what, you can have a FREE .png file of one of them with your initial on it!! Isn't that fab? Here is what is going to happen write to me in the next 2 hours or so, let me know if you want a or b, which letter you would like on your ornamant, and in you will get a supper snazzy .png image emailed to you.

You can use these to add pizazz to your holiday newsletter or cards, you can print them out as gift tags, hang them on your tree, use them on your website or blog, make mathcing t-shirts and look just spiffy!

Whatever you wish.

Write to me at tricia-rennea@sbcglobal.net and I will get that out to you this evening.

Bubbly-Bath Labels

Do you make your own bubble-bath solution? I do not, however it sounds like fun.
A reader wrote to me and told me that she is making home-made bubble-bath solution for the kids on her holiday list this year, I thought that seemed like a splendid gift. She is making strawberry and green apple, so I created these labels for her. I thought some of you could use them as well. A note: these were not created to fit any specific size label page, rather they were made to be printed on a solid sheet of sticker paper and cut out. I am sorry I didn't make them label-specific, but I do not have the dimension or template for a specific label. Another idea is to print these on card-stock and make them tags you tie to a bottle of solution, or to a dry-bubble bath mix in a bag!

A Chance to Give

Chase Community Giving has an application on Facebook, if you join you are given 20 votes to share among your favorite charities.

As many of you know, my two little cousins (age 9 and 2) have diabetes. They are wonderful fun-loving little boys, you would love them, I call them awesome monkeys! If you happen to have any Chase votes left to give, I would appreciate it if you shared with the DYF walk, the funds will go to help kids with diabetes go to camp, as one of the awesome monkeys told me, it is a chance for him to go someplace and not be the different one, a chance to be someplace where he is okay, can have fun and make friends. It is not easy being as responsible as the awesome monkeys have to be every day....and all that responsibility is on top of being awesome.

Here is a link the the DYF charity

We appreciate you support with all of our hearts

Fondly,
Tricia and the Awesome Monkeys

New 2010 Characters

Melodia and Tricia I am not sure if I mentioned it here, but I am putting together a catalog of stock characters for 2010 based on my friends (okay Tricia is me). These are the only 2010 characters who are completed. When I am finished with the catalog, will post a link to show you. These will be characters that can easily be added to custom artwork or modified to fit your needs, for example you can say "I would like a Melodia with a short black Bob sitting, a Melissa with a blond ponytail and a Mike with brown hair having drinks at a bar"...hmm perhaps I should have catalogs of furniture and backgrounds as well...it can be a whole set of choices...bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Anyway I hope you like the first two. Oh a story about the Tricia. When I was a kid I would draw 3 or 4 of the same drawing (usually clothes or furniture) and color each one differently, then ad prices like it was a sale ad...sigh, I should be embarrassed, but it was fun!
List of upcoming characters (I will add dates when I put them all on my calendar)
Melissa, Denise, Mike, Rick, Blake, Angie, Laura, Kim, Carole, Dean, Shannon, Jared, Barbara. If I have forgotten you, and you are interested, or you were one of last years models, I probably just need to put you on the list. I have been know to get easily distra.....oh a candy cane!

Planner Pages January-March 2010

I sent them out! My email program has been updated, and as with most updates, it confuses me. So if you want to let me know if you received them (or did not and should have), I will make it my priority to figure this out, and I should, by 2011 anyway :).

Hope you love the new look of them!

Fondly,
Tricia
