8/9 AKDesigns Boutique Weekly Update

Hello Everyone!

Yay ~ today is the first day of school here and I already feel more productive :) Welcome to our new followers and Hello to everyone else!!

Summer is officially over...I've enjoyed the time I was able to spend with my daughter, my family and my girlfriends, but it's time to get back to work! I also spent more time than normal in my yard this summer and it paid off ~ we were awarded Yard of the Month for July by our HOA! It was very unexpected since that wasn't the ever our goal, but very nice to be rewarded for the hard work :)

The vinyl machine arrived last Tuesday and my husband spent the weekend setting it up and playing with it. We've received a ton of positive feedback and a lot of requests, so now we just need to get busy and see what we can come up with! I've already made a couple "Ready to Cut Vinyl Artwork" designs that I'll be getting up on the website in the new week. Keep the ideas and requests coming!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

AKDesigns Weekly Update and Vacation Notice

Here's our weekly update ~ I hope you have a great week!

~ ~ ~ ~ VACATION NOTICE ~ ~ ~ ~

We'll be closing the shipping room for our summer break - we'll be taking this time to re-organize and get our new products listed - yay! So, get your supply orders in now, so we can get them shipped out to you!
* Last Day we'll accept orders to be shipped - June 24th
* We will resume accepting orders to be shipped - July 5th
This does not effect any other orders - just items that need to be shipped! I will be working and have access to e-mail, so immediate downloads, e-mailed sets, and e-mails in general will still be taken care of!

~ ~ ~ ~ VACATION NOTICE ~ ~ ~ ~

Some of you are probably wondering why I started doing these Weekly Updates a few weeks ago. Well, the fact is I don't have time send a yahoo group message, post in my blog, post on facebook, and tweet on twitter for every new product or promotion, so I've decided that the weekly update would save me some time so that I could actually accomplish more. So, I hope you like it because it is saving me time and I plan to continue with it until I find a better solution.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. It will be over before we know it, so let's all make the most of it ~ go to the pool, take a ride on your bike, or just relax out on your deck in the evening :)
