out of office reply + macbook = hot mess!

So this was my facebook status the other day when I messed up BIG time!! Alot of you got a dozen emails from me saying that I was unavailable. In the head, maybe!! So sorry for all the junk mail!! It sent one or five to everyone that has contacted me in the past 4 months. It sent so many, that I was locked out of email for the rest of the day. I seriously felt lost :(

Since I am going on vacay, I wanted to set up an out of office reply so that people would know that I wasn't avoiding them and I would get back to them. I usually twitter it or put it on the blog here but you would be amazed how people just don't read the blog. Am I that boring?

So anyway, if you have a mac and know how to set up and out of office reply, PLEASE let me know!! This is the one time that I wished I had a pc. Also, here is a tip! When you google something, some people really don't know what they are talking about!

Beautiful Blog Design Feature!

When Amanda from Beautiful Blog Designs contacted me this weekend to tell me that she was going to feature one of my designs on her site, I was SO ecstatic!! I look at her features every Monday (I love every one of them, too!) and just dream about being featured. Well, my dream has come true! And I owe it all to Karyn at French Charming!!

Working with Karyn was amazing! First of all, she had no clue about what she wanted her blog to look like. Then, when I showed her some samples of what I thought French Charming could be, she immediately became involved and spear-headed this design. Of course, I was trying to make it more bold, but she wanted simple, clean, but sassy and she and I together created her blog design. So, congratulations, Karyn. So many people love your design but your blog speaks volumes! You had me hooked from the first post. You are always at the top of my blog list with your creative voice and interesting take on things.

If you are looking for a blog design, Amanda has a list of great designers who are all creatively different and spectacular in their own style. Plus, she features giveaways! Not too shabby!

Ooh la la.. Tres Chic!

Karyn at French Charming won a makeover this summer from my friend Maggie at Just Add Glitter & Stir. Karyn kept putting the makeover off and come to find out, she just didn't want to make any decisions and the process was a little overwhelming to her.

So, when I got a little caught up and it was past her turn, I emailed her some ideas, showed her a rough draft, and she just came alive and was all too eager to get her new blog design up and running! She picked out the girl and I went from there. I love the simplicity of the white and the colors of the girl, the eiffel tower, and the awning. I hope you like it, too!

Jusika in Italy

I just finished designing Jusika's blog for her. She lives in Italy right now and I cracked up when she said that she saw the Hogs play on Saturday. In Italy!!

It was a pleasure to do your blog, Jusika!

Fall Decorating

Update:
Congratulations to Courtney for being the first person to put up my blog button!! The prize- a FREE blog design. Good thing you were wanting an update, Courtney!!

I am not going to be designing blogs for fall, Halloween, or Christmas this year. Boooooooo! But, I thought I would dress up my blog with a Happy Fall Y'all button and you can too! I know that there are people that love to celebrate on their blogs, so here ya go!

Just grab the code in the box and put it on your sidebar in a gadget labeled HTML/Java Script.
