Zumini got their homepage at Neopets.com

Hey there! I'm Kandi, and welcome to A Natural Harmony! I make custom banners to be used on Neopets for anything that you can possibly think of. I started this site to help those who don't have a graphics program achieve something they've wanted to create. Please read the rules below before you submit a request or I won't fulfill it; the form is there so that I can have the proper details for maximum satisfaction. I wouldn't want you to leave anything out. =) Feel free to neomail me if you have any suggestions, questions, comments, or concerns!

Updates

Update for Sept. 2:

orlando_caribbean is still frozen with no response to my ticket. I'm trying to stay motivated, but ANH will be neglected until I hear something back. I truly apologize to everyone, but I'm still just absolutely heartbroken.

Affies: Thank you so much for understanding!

Candie: Thanks so much for your constant love and support!! You're an amazing sister site and I don't know how I'd handle this situation without you!

// August 11 //

My account, orlando_caribbean, was frozen today for "auto buying". I can't even remember the last time I've visited a main shop, so I've submitted a ticket, and hopefully everything will get sorted out. I can't promise I'll be working on requests anytime soon because I'm terribly upset about the random freezing. I'll keep you posted, though, and I've changed all of the links to direct towards this account for contact purposes.

// August 10 //

Cleared half of the waiting list!! I should have the waiting list completely cleared by the end of today or tomorrow!

// August 8 //

Oh my goodness!! I'm so terribly sorry!! A few personal things arose last week and then my internet wasn't working for several days, so I could only check my account via phone. I couldn't fulfill requests or update anything at all and I feel so terribly for keeping everyone waiting so long! I'm going to tackle as many as I can today and make them look amazing!!

// July 31 //

Filled my request slots, so I'm closing for a little while to give me time to catch up. Expect them open again very soon!

Don't forget to vote for me at Down the Rabbit Hole!

// July 30 //

Voting has now begun at Down the Rabbit Hole! I've entered both the SOTM and the BOTM, so be sure to vote for me! (my banner is the "a little to the left" one)

+2 requests; only 1 more spot available before I close requests!

// July 28 //

+6 resources added

Cleared the waiting list, but many spots are now full again, so I may have to close requests again soon.

I'm now affliates with the lovely Let Go!

// July 27 //

Neomail still isn't working properly, but I've cleared off most of the waiting list. I'm optimistically opening requests in hopes everything will be fixed soon!

Currently, you can request banners by filling out the form, posting it on a petpage, and then just neomailing me the name of the pet. It seems as if short mails are going through, so this is one available option! Just make the title Banner Request so I know what's going on.

// July 26 //

I've been working on several requests today, but due to the problems with sending Neomails, I'm having problems responding/confirming requests. Please bear with me until all of this is sorted out!

// July 25 //

I'm now featured at Grenade! Grenade is a really lovely site, so I'm excited to be featured! You should check out the lovely art requests being offered there!

Also, I entered ANH into the SOTM competition being hosted at Down the Rabbit Hole! If you like what you see here, be sure to vote for me!

Now affies with the delectable Delicious! She offers loads of yummy goodies.

// July 24 //

I apologize for my delay in fulfilling requests. I'm currently babysitting my boss's dogs in between my work schedule, which steals my banner making time. Expect them soon, though!

// July 20 //

Received an awesome new button from Whirligig and The Florist!

I had to close requests again because I filled all of my slots. I'll get it cleared as soon as I can!

+1 gorgeous button from Button's Galore!

// July 19 //

Finished all requests, so hurry and request before the waiting list is full again!

I'm wanting to add more premades soon, so feel free to let me know what you'd like to see!

I'm now affliates with The Florist!

// July 18 //

Requested a button from Buttons Galore! I can't wait to see it!

Finished a few requests!

// July 17 //

I'm now affliates with the lovely Sugarrush! You should go grab a cute pixel and check out her other fun stuff!

I'm sure many of you don't know, but I've been saving for a pirate draik for years and years. Yesterday marked the turning point of my goal as I was able to buy a pink draik morphing potion! Now all that awaits is the paint brush! *happy dance*

// July 16 //

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Candie at my sister site, Simply Amazing. Be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday! =)

I'm now listed at A Small List as a recommended site!
Cleared off some of the waiting list, so requests are open again!

// July 15 //

+ 3 finished / + 4 requests
I'm going to close requests for a few days simply because I need to catch up. Check back soon!
I'm now affiliates with Grenade!

Slightly modified the layout as well. Can you tell the difference? ;)

// July 13 //

Important Update: I'm really sad to announce that one of my sister sites, Classy Customs, has closed. Her button site will be greatly missed, but I know Kat is moving on to pursue her endeavors! I want to wish you the best! Your site has inspired mine from the very start, and A Natural Harmony would never have existed if it wasn't for you!

Retired Buttons

These buttons are either old requests or gifts that are very special to me, but that I've retired from my usual pile of link back buttons.

Thanks

An eternity of thanks to Daniel for his patience in helping me code this evil design of mine. =) You're wonderful!

Thanks to Candie and Phoenix at LTA for the idea to start my own custom banner site!
