Latest logos

I have openings again for logos. In addition to team logos for shirts I have been making letterheads, flyers, donation cards and graphics for fundraisers. Here are some of the latest. I'm sure there will be more to see soon. Remember if you got a logo from me be sure to spread the word.

Where have you been?

Well It has been quite a while since I have posted on my blog. At the end of March I went on a business trip with my husband to St. Louis, I took my laptop with me to work on some logo requests I had. Well when I got to my hotel room and turned the power on I got the black screen of death- far worse than the blue, lol. I tried everything but I couldn't get windows to open. So I sent it out for repair. Well it took FAR too long and the teams waiting for logos were getting kind of impatient. So I went out and got a brand new laptop. A couple weeks later I did get back the old one, complete with a new hard drive but I lost EVERYTHING, all my logos all my clip art, and all of my photos including my kids pictures. So now for my public service announcement: BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM FREQUENTLY, I didn't and learned my lesson. Well the new laptop was great with the exception that my only copy of photoshop was gone, and that opened up a whole new can of worms. Ahhhh, well now I am trying to get everything back in order.

Whats the saying? "what can go wrong will?" This last few weeks have been completely insane. Issues with my boys; one is loosing a tooth, one is teething, and my husband and walking partner has something seriously wrong with his foot and the Dr thinks is gout.  Then over the last couple days I noticed a pain in my back between my shoulder blades but more on the right side. It got worse and worse till it had me in tears and I went to the ER. There was no injury, which I could have told them. Instead the benign lesions on my liver are acting up and I was having referred pain. Which means lucky me I get to go through lots of testing again. I pray everyday that they stay benign, I focus so much on breast cancer, that the c word is always in the back of my mind as a possible issue. Last thing I need now is a cancer scare. But I'm at home with severe pain and nausea with my two young boys, while my husband is out of town for the week.

I have decided to push past my fears and discomfort and work hard on my logos and fundraising. In a way I am hoping karma will roll around in my favor for once. So please keep our family in your prayers too. I will be sure to post updates on the whole liver issue when I know something. I am stuck between a Dr that isn't worried at all, and one that is very concerned...hey guys I'm not a case study or a medical mystery, so please find out whats wrong with me, before it becomes too late to do anything about it.

I love all my 3 day walkers I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking to. Your positive attitudes are exactly what I need right now. I don't mean to post something depressing or unrelated to the 3 day, but I just had some people asking questions, so I hope that sums up everything

I Love Logos

I have to say that I am SHOCKED with the amount of emails I got about creating a logo for their team, event, fundraiser, or buisness. I am honored to make each and every one of them. I hope that people who have them made into shirts, will email me photos of them. Here are a few more logos, and I will have more to post soon.

Take action, become a TWL

TWL - Training walk leader. That is just what I became a few days ago. I never had intensions of leading walks, because I don't consider myself much of a "leader" per say. This is how it happened. The sun is shining in Cleveland and the snow is melting, which probably wont last but I am enjoying it while its here. I went to the 3 Day participant center to look up official training walks to attend, because walking alone is boring and I tend to cut my walks short when i'm alone and bored. A friend keeps me motivated and accountable to the mileage I commit to.

I needed to become a training walk leader out of necessity. I don't drive, in fact neither me or my husband drive. We walk everywhere! To the store, to dinner, to the Dr etc. So I was willing to walk to my training walk, but I was bummed out to find that there were no training walks close enough for me to do that. So after talking with my husband I emailed the coaches about becoming a training walk leader. I attended the phone meeting read the handbook and filed out the paperwork. I was actually a little nervous doing this, because you are responsible for finding a good route and the safety of your walkers. There was just so much to consider. So I scheduled my first official 5 mile walk. I have already walked this before so I know where restrooms and water fountains are located. Its on a smooth all purpose trail in a very scenic park. I hope it goes well and the weather holds out. Who knows I may have many more walks coming soon.

Did you know that training walk leaders serve as safety monitors at the actually 3 Day event? It was news to me. I have to say I am honored...I feel like the 5th grader that was chosen to be a crossing guard for the elementary school. Past 3 Day walkers will tell you, they will do just about anything for stickers and pins. So I was super excited to get a bright orange badge and my training walk leader legacy pin. I encourage other walkers to become training walk leaders, whether you lead 1 or 21 walks. You will meet other walkers, share fundraising ideas, and personal stories. You never know who you will meet.

I am...

I made this design for women that are battling breast cancer or who are breast cancer survivors. The shirt is for sale at www.zazzle.com/flashyimage It comes in light colored materials with dark lettering and dark colored shirts with light lettering. There is a varity of shirt styles, that you can choose from and customise.

Inspirational song of the week

I Run for Life - By Melissa Etheridge. She wrote this song about her own battle with breast cancer.

I'm Going Bald for breast cancer

Hello readers. Our team doubled in size from 2 to 4 members overnight. My mom and my sister are going to be walking. So now we need to raise $9.200 as a family. We have raised $2,325 so far, so... I'M GOING BALD FOR BOOBS!  I will shave my head (hopefully live on the news or radio) and keep it completely shaved to the end of the 3 Day in August. The catch is I have to raise the remainder of the $9,200 to help our team. I am contacting local hair salons to see if they would like to host the "event" and I am sending out a press release to local newspapers and news stations to see if they would air the story to spread awareness about breast cancer. So please help me out, donate to the widget here on my page or go to www.the3day.org/goto/RobertSeifer or look at our team page for everyone elses url's. My $2,300 minimum is almost met so please help out my team mates. I will post pictures of the before,durring and after. The sooner I raise the money the sooner this will happen even if it means going bald now to August 1st. 

UPDATE 3-4  The Spa Connection in Berea has put a collection jar at their Salon. The spa connection is also donating products or a gift certificate to our silent auction (date TBA) so thank you SO MUCH Mary!
