Transition complete

What day are we today? March something, right?  

The name change for my business from 
Alicia Istanbul Designs to Alice Istanbul Designs 
was officially instated on January 1, 2010, 
but good googles, 
it wasn't until yesterday that the last of my packaging with the corrected name arrived. 

There were a lot of things to change the name on: logo adjustment, Etsy banner, website banner, blog banner, facebook fan page, facebook profile page, twitter page, email address, jewelry boxes, jewelry care instructions, stationary, new rubber stamps, and finally business cards.  

The big hold up was the business cards. 
I used (past tense) an online company that's been notorious for printing with color errors. 
It took 3 reprints (and 6 weeks) for the correct colors.  Never again.

My new boxes arrived on Friday and the cards arrived yesterday.


New packaging
Here's my updated packaging.
I went from gold foil sticker labels on my jewelry boxes to embossed boxes.
I love the new look.

That's all for today. 
Off to the studio with me!


Have a happy Tuesday :)
