And that doesn't take much - I've only been freelancing for a couple of years now. Thanks to everyone's advice, I'm going to drop the client a line. I like the idea of telling her that her ideas are great and she should hang on to them until her budget allows her to hire me. I have a real soft spot for small businesses, nonprofits, and "good causes" - but my own family is a good cause too.
