Need guidance on making a Arduino Project Permanent

Hi all --
I've been prototyping some projects for the Arduino over the last 6 months and am having a blast!

I'm now at the point where I'd like to construct a permanent device using the ATMega chip, but don't want to have to use the Arduino board. I'm sure there are lots of resources for constructing a project, loading my software and making it permanent. I just dont know enough to do an intelligent search for resources

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!
