here goes...I am now charging for my designs



...now charging!

Hey there. I have good, and maybe bad, news.
I've decided to start charging for each blog design I do. Not too much - in American currency, $5, and in South African, R50, and when it comes to pounds, probably 3 pounds, per blog design. Of course, if I am only going to be design a certain area(s) of your blog, it will be less. (see on my design page)
Also, I will soon make a design blog. Hopefully.
Life is great. I love living and learning, particularly when it comes to designing and coding.
(All who are already on my waiting list are 'safe' from being charged, meaning that I will still design those blogs for free. I have six on my waiting list at the moment.)
I don't really think my designs are so great that I just have to charge for them, I just want something back for the work and time I put into them, if you know what I mean.
So...what do you think? Do you think it's stupid that I'm charging now?
And, do you think what my customers would get in return would be worth it? (judge by looking at my portfolio and clicking through to the blogs I have designed)
Thank you for reading, I appreciate it.

first blog design underway

Hey, everyone. Thank you for praying for my little brother...you're all amazing. You know, in the end, I got like, twenty-four comments, not including my replies. Thanks so much. That was great.
And, now...the news I want to spread...
I am busy designing someone else's blog for the first time. Take a look at Nyah's blog, Faith Girl and you'll see I'm in the process of giving her blog a makeover. It would be so lovely if you followed as well. She's new to blogging, and she has a really nice blog. ♥ We would both love it if you went and checked it out.
Plus, I'm really looking forward to working with Kelly-Anne on her blog. It's gonna be fun. :)
I'm so glad and grateful that I can do things like this online, God has really blessed me.
And...to make this post not such a waste, here's a little bit of pinspiration:

It does. So get up every morning, and have courage. {image via Pinterest. NOT my own}

Have a wonderful Wednesday. (or, if you're South African, have a wonderful Wednesday night)

first post on my new blog (happy!)

Just like that, I've moved blogs and now I have a brand new blog. I've come from here and now I'm here. I've waded through codes, worked in photoshop, followed tutorials, done everything I could to make my 'fresh start' work out right. 
It's so good to be back to posting. I know it was barely a while since I was regularly posting on my 'old' blog (it's sad and at the same time nice to be referring to it in that way), but it feels like ages. I felt quite- disconnected...
I'm happy with the way my blog looks/is now. Well, almost. I think I still have a few changes I think I'd like to make. But what do you think? Do you like the design? I was going for a sort of clean, professional (but at the same time pretty) blog design. Tell me if I succeeded. (at least a little?) And do you have any suggestions for anything on my blog? I still want to add a button.
I hope to get most of my followers back. Would you mind spreading the news a little, telling people that I need some more followers now that I've just lost a whole bunch on my 'old' blog? Haha...that would be nice. Looking forward to doing more on this blog.
Thanks so much to everyone who has followed me so far, and thank you to the others who have followed my 'old' blog quite a way back. I've had lots of adventures in blogging there, and all together I had posted 187 posts. Wow. And now it will be inactive. But I had so much fun there. And like I think I said sometime before, I might post some of my old posts here once in a while. Some of the ones I like.
Thank you for reading this first post of my new blog. (Not including the test post. That was meant to be deleted from the beginning...sorry to all who commented. I appreciated it.)
