My name is Beth, I work as a Graphic Designer/Web Designer/Photographer for a small nonprofit group that provides low-cost media services to other non-profits. On the side I run my own freelance studio called Cre8tiveFocus. I also run the CafePress shop Cre8tiveFocus

I started this website for three reasons, The first, I love Madonna's music. The second, is that I have a large collection of Madonna memorabillia that I wanted to sell. And third, I wanted to challenge my graphic and web design skills.

Website History...
The website has gone through 4 major revisions including a merge between my two sites Madonna Collectibles and Madonna Designs. I have included some screen shots of its evolution.

FEB 1999 Version 1.0 was simple clean and focused mostly on selling collectibles. It was hosted on a free webspace without a real domain name.	MARCH 2001 Madonna Designs was launched on MadonnaNet (and at the same time V 3.0 was released)
MARCH 2001 Version 3.0 was released which was a major overhaul. It included more pictures, lyrics and much more.	SEPTEMBER 2001 Version 3.5 was released when MadonnaNet closed, it merged my huge galleries of wallpapers, avatars, postcards and such with madonnacollectibles.com. It was also the launch of many new features.

I love Madonna's music...
If someone came up to me and asked "What is your favorite song?" I would say "Any song Madonna writes, or sings." I can truly say that I would purchase any CD Madonna records before hearing even one song on the disc (and believe me I have done it!).

Ok, what are my favorites...
