Update

28.02.2008: I'm currently N O T
taking any layout requests or other graphic requests. Life has gotten a little busy lately.

About Me

My name is Michelle. I use the alias arnieismybaby or michelleischarmed, depending on certain forums.

I live in Kent, South East England and I work in London. I have a very demanding job, with sometimes a 13/14 hour working day. When I do find some spare "me time" I like to design graphics, garden, read, love history (especially anything about the Titanic). Since I am considered "old" I don't exactly have a modern outlook on the world of music. If I hear it on the radio and I like it, I will download it. Since the 80's is my era, I love 80's music. I'm a huge George Michael fan and have been for 25 years.

I have a wonderful adorable pet Nanday Conure called Arnie - whom I call my little piece of sanity!

One thing that people should be made aware of, I dislike (with a passion) instant messaging. I find the whole thing very irritating and invasive. Therefore please do not ask me to chat to you through Instant Messaging and ask for my ID number because I simply do not do instant messaging.

Skem9 layout credit

This is the section I would like to credit the work of the artists who are responsible for the wonderful layouts I will use.
Layout courtesy of Laura Mae [http://www.skem9.com/~216115] - thank you! this is an AWESOME layout.

Myspace Layout Requests

If you'd like a layout, I'd be happy to help out. Just send me a message and I will get to it. Please note at the moment I can only do myspace regular layouts.

My little rules :

1. Where will the layout be used - please provide your myspace url.
2. I will only do one layout per requester/per week.
3. Be 100% specific and detailed in your request - it helps me because I get confused easily!!
4. If I make a mistake, I will redo your layout.
5. If you change your mind, I generally will NOT redo a layout (**)
6. Provide the image(s) for the background. (*)
7. Provide the image(s) for the Network box. (*)
8. Provide the image(s) for the Contact box. (*)
9. Provide the image(s) to replace your myspace URL [only if you want to get rid of this box]. (*)
10. Let me know the colours [if you don't I will choose something that fits the images].
11. Let me know if you have specific text in mind for the Network box.
12. Say "thank you" I'm old fashioned and these little words make me happy :o)

Key:
(*) DO NOT provide me with images/graphics that have been created by another artist/designer/photographer etc - without first gaining their full permission. I will need to see this permission and direct links to their site(s) in order to fully credit them. I will not be so insensitive as to rip off their hard work.

(**) As a rule I will not redo any layouts if I you then decide that the text/color/image etc isn't quite right. However that said, if I am having a good day, and not too busy, then I might be amenable to redo it, but don't get upset or mad if I say no.
