I could have told you that the last design wasn’t here to stay, but it would have ruined the surprise ;) This latest floral design has been in the works for a few months. I have only been able to work on it late at night, or in my off hours because I have been SLAMMED.. and I have a feeling it’s not going to be slowing down anytime soon. Hasn’t yet.

This design is everything I love, all wrapped into one. Girly, grungy, floral, colorful, minimal and definitely simple. Converting everything to a one column and putting a site map at the bottom. I really wanted to de-clutter the site for the new year.

Enjoy :)

Inspired by a tag on my daughter’s bedding, I came up with the fun squiggles in the header that trails the butterfly. With fun polka dots in the navigation and matching header & footer, this might be my favorite ready-made design yet.

Yahoo mail, well.. yahoo mail is cool in the fact you can change the color of the background but other than that, it’s just like any other e-mail opp out there. There is nothing special to it. I have had a few of my client’s e-mails (coming from yahoo) end up in my spam folder for no apparent reason.

What do I recommend? Gmail. 100%. Remember when you had to know someone who was using g-mail to be able to sign up? Well the times have changed. You can now go to gmail.com and sign yourself up for a fabulous e-mail address. Everyone is switching over to g-mail and let me tell you why.

The space is incredible. With 7174 MB, how can anyone use up that much space? 9,000 e-mails later, I am still at 12% capacity. Incredible.

The chat feature. Google chat is the best and easiest way to communicate with your e-mail contacts. Anyone who has g-mail can easily be added to your google chat (in the e-mail sidebar) so you can send them a quick hello while logged in to your e-mail. It’s great. I love chatting with my clients and it really comes in handy when I need some information and don’t want to send an e-mail.

Labels. Some were weary at first about not having folders but imagine this, what if you had an e-mail that needed to be in more than one folder at a time? Predicament! With labels, you can label it “Follow up”, “Trip to NYC” and “Reservations” all at once. You can also color coordinate your labels. You can choose different colors for different labels and it makes things THAT much easier to find.

Search. The search feature really helps. Type in someones name and all the e-mails with them will show up. How’s that for folders?

I can’t recommend g-mail enough!

I got lost somewhere between the rainbow of colors and the chocolate brown background, I was mesmerized. I can’t think of a better way to bring on the autumn weather than with a colorful design like this.

A previous client came to me about a quote, and it was only then that I realized since we last spoke.. something major was about to happen. She was going to have triplets! Amazed and picking my jaw up off the computer desk, I gladly accepted and created my little monsters. Love it <3.
