The NEW Anastasia Marie will be here next Thursday, on April 26th, if all goes well. The main site already has its temp page up, and on Friday, the blog will have its temp page up while we set up the new site and work out the kinks. So there will be no new posts Friday through Wednesday. My Weekend Post will go up tomorrow though, one day early.

So next time you’ll see me up and around, it’ll be the new me. So excited! The confetti is almost ready to fall! Join on on Instagram (username: anastasiamika) to get sneak peeks at what’s going on in the studio. And you can also join the mailing list at the bottom of this blog in the footer area to be one of the first folks to know when the new site is live.

Things are coming along real nice. I switched hosting in the last week (you might have noticed the lack of posts last week on Thursday and Friday), shut down my template site, and put up a temp page for the time being. Even seeing a temp page up gets me all excited, because it’s finally becoming a bit more real to me: something is really coming. Yay! You probably noticed that even this current blog has had a little design change, and my Twitter page. Getting closer!

THE SITE: My new site is pretty much complete. Just got to start uploading all the new images from the latest promo shoot with Daniel Usenko, plus all the new content that’s coming with the launch. So excited to start that up. THE SHOP: I’ve been designing new pretties for the big launch: a line of notecards, tags, garlands, and more. Really excited about this because it’s going to broaden the type of paper goods one may find in my shop.

In the meantime, I’ve been mailing out completed projects, stocking up on washi tape, learning how to style photos, and getting a little more organized in my studio. Join my mailing list to be the first to find out when the new site launches. You’ll find the sign up form at the bottom of this blog in the footer area.

Last week I gave you all an update on how the rebranding process is going. Shortly after that I got a bit of news that’s making me push my launch date back by two weeks. A big part of the new Anastasia Marie is going to take a bit longer to get into my hands than expected. But it appears the folks helping me put everything together just breathed a sigh of relief. An extra two weeks to get things done! Hope you all aren’t too disappointed…

Here’s just a little look into what’s been arriving in the last week. Get ready to see some of these in the shop soon!

With just four weeks left until my new brand and site launch, my studio is a huge mess. On top of all the hustle and bustle of getting the new site done and all the new content uploaded — new packaging tidbits have been coming in, new cards and save the dates are lined up to print and have their photos taken, my craft bins organized and reorganized to fit all the new stuff in…it’s never ending. I’ve been taking a few Instagram shots of what’s been going on in my studio of late.

Follow along as the next four weeks are going to have a lot more action: find me –> @anastasiamika

Happy Monday friends! With the new brand launching in just 53 days, I decided I’m going to go ahead and start blogging with the new schedule. I know I just recently changed it last fall (or was it late summer?), but after much thought, here’s the new schedule. Nothing much will be changing. I’m just swapping my Tuesday and Wednesday posts around, booting Monday’s Photo Delight posts, and moving Friday’s Inspired By posts to Monday (you’ve probably already noticed that change by now). Of course there will still be the special posts now and then when something extra exciting is happening. So don’t be alarmed when you see things a little shifted this week.
