A Cool Summer!

Well, summer is over.  Kids are back in school, and the weather is starting to change.  That being said, what exciting things did you do this past summer?

Did you travel to exotic lands?  Did you take that much needed "vaca" and relax on the beach?  Maybe a hike through the Grand Canyon?  

My summer was not quite as adventurous!  

I spent the majority of my summer, at my desk, working AND watching web classes!  I've become HOOKED on these learning modules from the Adobe website, CreativeLive!  WOW.  The past two months has been jam packed with tons of learning and teaching, everything from Photosphop, InDesign, Illustrator, and other great apps to learning how to market your business through the use of social media.  And not just Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn; but also Pinterest, Instagram, and Google+, and how to effectively use your website to drive traffic to you!

So, now that summer has left us and it's back to "business as usual" I am ready to tackle new business clients and new business projects!

Something to "MOO" About!

I have to say that there is ALWAYS something new and creative out on the internet!  Every day it seems I am finding more and more sites for design and creativity.  I have been blessed to have an awesome mentor (T.Marie Hilton - owner of Clerical Advantage and GirlyGirlGeek and head of VA Survival Guide).  She has been instrumental in helping me build my new website, S.O.S.-VirtualAssist.  It's been a slow process, mostly because I have not a CLUE of what I was doing.  But with her continued help, patience, and guidance, I believe I am getting this down!

The reason for my post today is that I took a break from building my site to stop by one of my social sites, FaceBook, and happened to see a photo post by T.Marie.  They were these totally awesome "mini-cards" that she will be using in marketing her many business sites.  They were so cool!  I immediately asked her where she had gotten these great marketing pieces, and she directed me toward another GREAT website "MOO".  You've got to check this out!  This site has a TON of great marketing ideas, and the prices are very reasonable!

So, if you are struggling with yet another way to be creative in your marketing ideas; stop by MOO and see what they've got to offer!!
