So with the new blog, I thought I would add a few new things. If you check out the “Sweet Links” you will see some nifty little banners.
For Your Biz is a new section exclusively for indie business. I will keep this updated with new articles, links, worksheets and more!
Support Indie is a shops page with links to cool indie owned shops and businesses. Would you like to be listed? Just check out the instructions to submit your biz.
Get Crafty is a collection of posts that relate to craft projects all in one place. I am still working on getting posts together for this one.

I finally made the switch over to Wordpress. I have been wanting to do it for awhile now because there are so many cool things that you can do with this system. Simon did a fabulous job making my design come to fruition so big thanks to him for all of the hard work (and on my new website too, LOVE it!). I love that I can design and know that I don’t have to do the coding part (my least favorite thing about web design). This also gives me a chance to showcase what we can do with blog design. Sometimes, I have clients that don’t need the whole shebang when it comes to their business so this gives them a great option.
I also have big plans for the new blog with loads of features, giveaways and fun things. I have a whole folder of edited photos so watch out for lots of photography posts. If you haven’t notice a lot of my recent inspiration comes from the style and look of the fifties. For various reasons lately I have been very into that time period. I even gave my bangs a little retro cut (photo of that sometimes…maybe). So expect lots of things to be posted that inspire me. Being a creative professional (like that phrase right?) inspiration is extremely important to me, without it I would be out of a job so I think it’s important to inspire others if I can. I have several blog reads that are a “go to” when I need a little jolt and I love that so I am really building my new blog around that notion.
So speaking of all this inspiration, I found a new magazine that is completely awesome. I love typography and so every time I spot something with a cool font or layout, I try and snap a photo. Well, this one moved me so much that I snatched it up and purchased it. In fact, I am thinking about just breaking down and subscribing because there are so many cool ideas in it. It’s called freshHOME and it’s all about DIY projects for your house (another goal of mine this year…finish decorating my house).
So I would love to know what inspires you! Post a comment and let me know.

I put together a fun freebie wallpaper for your desktop and iphone. I will be adding one of these each month for you to download if you so please.
March Wallpaper 1680×1054

You can download the iphone wallpaper just by right clicking and saving it from here. Here are some quick instructions to add it to your iphone.
1. Launch iTunes then click the Photos tab and select “Sync photos from:”
2. From the pop-up menu, do one of the following:
If your using a Mac, choose iPhoto or your Pictures folder.
If you’re using a PC, choose Photoshop Album, Photoshop Elements, or your My Pictures folder.
3. Choose Folder, then choose any folder on your computer that has images.
4. Choose “All photos,” or choose “Selected folders” or “Selected albums” and choose the folders or albums you want to sync.
5. Navigate to the Settings application on your iPhone, and choose the appropriate group of photos where you saved the wallpaper, then tap the image and set as wallpaper.

In Georgia (especially south of Atlanta) we don’t normally get good snow. Usually it’s a light sprinkling one day a year. We have been lucky the past two years and actually got a whole day with inches (granted it was only 3 inches but still, I did say I was in GA right?). Of course, this gave me the opportunity to grab the camera and snap photos of the kids. I don’t know what it is about photos in the snow but they seem to always turn out good. I think it has something to do with the white balance and brightness of all the snow…whatever it is, it’s gorgeous.
Yes, she was so excited she started howling!
