About Painted Dreams

Heather began making banners as a hobby on March 1st, 2012. She browsed a few tutorials but ultimately decided to learn as she went through trial and error. The more she made, the more she enjoyed making them. She soon began to see progress in the quality of her work and decided to open a site by the end of the month. After discussing the idea with a few neofriends, she decided that she would also offer backgrounds as part of her future site.

Painted Dreams opened on March 28th, 2012. Originally, Painted Dreams was a site designed to allow visitors to let their personality shine by displaying banners and backgrounds that feature things you enjoy, media, quotes and lyrics, and neo-related favorites. After trying this for a few weeks, Painted Dreams was re-vamped to offer only neo-related and seasonal content.

After being open for 8 months, Heather realized how much her graphic-making style had changed for the better. The content on Painted Dreams no longer reflected her best work. She decided to start fresh with an all new layout and re-vamped content. She also decided to start taking requests. The newly improved Painted Dreams was re-launched in December 2012.

In April 2013, Heather made her first layout. Upon receiving positive feedback from neofriends and others, she decided to once again re-vamp Painted Dreams to offer pre-made layouts as well as banners, backgrounds, resources, and requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Photoshop CS3

3) How often do you update Painted Dreams?

4) How long will it take to receive my request?
My goal is to complete each request within one week of receiving it. If you have been waiting for longer than one week, please don't hesitate to neomail me.

5) Can I request a background or resource?
I do not offer background or resource requests. However, if you would like a certain background or resource in another color or if you have an idea for something new, I'm always open to suggestions.

6) Can I request a custom layout?
I do not offer custom layouts, but if you have an idea for something new, I'd love to hear it!

About Me

My name is Heather, and I'm 25 years old. My birthday is on September 16th. I'm 5'2" tall with brown eyes and somewhat long, straight brown hair.

I'm married, and my husband and I enjoy a quiet life in the Midwestern United States. I'm interested in TV/movies, video games, reading, writing, animals, superheroes, and graphic tees. My favorite things include Psych, The Office, Bones, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Wizard of Oz, Inception, League of Legends, Neopets, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, dogs, Batman, Superman, and almost all things Disney.

I have one real-life pet, a dog named Gigi, who I adopted from my local animal shelter. She's a one-year-old Dachshund-Cocker Spaniel mix.

If you would like to learn even more about me or my pets, you can visit my portfolio and pet portfolio.

Retired Banners

These are banners that have been retired from Painted Dreams, because they either no longer reflect my best quality or I've chosen not to offer that type of banner anymore. You are still welcome to take and use any of these banners as long as you credit Painted Dreams for them.
