Sabbiness Members was in the making for over a year, and since opening over a year ago (I forgot the exact date I opened, lol) I have doubled the content.
Sabbiness Pixels originated from Sabbi's Dollz waaaaaaaaay back in 2004 when I started with a yahoo site. I've been in the Dolling and Pixel community for a long time and have met some wonderful people who I cherish like my own family.
When I got pregnant with my second child, I decided to go for it and open a members area to help support the growing need for money for my family. It doesn't bring in as much as hubby makes, but it does mean the difference between eating a good dinner or having cereal with milk some nights, lol!
Sabbiness Members, to me, are more then a cash source, they are friends and deserve to be treated as such. Everyone is treated equal, no member is more special then another, and if one person gets a gift, they ALL do, unless of course its a personal gift for a sissy site or something, lol! I am equally nice as I am equally strict on TOU. I always give credit where its due and I expect no less from my members. Respect is a huge thing with me regardless of who you are or your relationship with me. If TOU are broken everyone is treated the same: membership is revoked, you get contacted on graphic in question, if its resolved within 48-72 hours you get membership back, if not, you are suspended with no refund.
I have enjoyed having a members area - creating, designing, and making others happy has always been my motif - I do not regret opening a members area, even though sometimes it gets overwhelming. I take suggestions and ideas to heart and DO act on them. You want a specific tutorial because you like the way I shade such and such, let me know and within a month you will have that tutorial. I want Sabbiness Members to be a place you come to enjoy, love, and use.
