We've just entered into a new year and I'm happy to announce that I've found an even better site to host my current commission queue. Google Docs was fine and I do like the fact that it updates/saves immediately upon every change. However, I've been looking for a more intuitive way to present the queue...ideally one that would give me the ability to show progress on commissions AS I work on them.

Earlier today I found Trello and I immediately began migrating the queue over to it using a mix of info from Google docs and by going back through my notes here on FA. And viola! Clockwork Caribou's new Commission Queue!

Each commission entry shows a checklist with the 6 typical steps to a completed commission through me. I'll be ticking off these steps on that list as they are finished for your commission! And if you have a Trello account [which is free], you can "subscribe" to your commission's card to received updates every time I check something off that list or add a new note to the commission. Obviously, I'll still be emailing commissioners as progress is made anyways, but I thought this was a neat extra way of seeing where your commission stands and what I'm currently focused on completing.

I'll be getting in touch with everybody currently in the queue over the next couple days [as some of you, I'm embarrassed to say, I haven't been in touch with for quite some time]. I want to let all my commissioners know about the queue and to check and make sure that all details about their commission are correct [and that they still want it to be completed].

Here's hoping that I'll have some positive changes in my employment this year and that 2016 will be far more productive than 2015. ^(._.)^;
