Does Your Blog Have a Business Card? My blog does!

How do you know what to say in a business card that isn't for a business but a blog instead? I was wondering that same question a few days ago, when it came time to order more business cards.

I found the greatest business card tutorial at momcomm. Its called The Guide to Blogger Business Cards. Her tutorial covers everything such as what to put on a business card, where to order them, and various examples of other people's blogger cards to inspire you. Her site is really worth reading!

The thing that inspired me the most was adding a QR Code to my business card. Not having a smart phone myself, (I just can't stand the idea that if I had a smart phone, then my phone would be smarter than me!) I've never thought about QR Codes before. My new business card features a code I created myself at: QR Code Generator.

And now for the unveiling of my new business card:

I hope this inspires you to create your own business card. Please feel free to leave a comment and share your own business card with us! :)

Hello!

Guess what ladies? I've just stumbled across another great blog gadget. Its called a Hello Bar.

It is the new bar at the top of all my blog pages and by the way it comes in an oh so pretty shade of pink. Or at least i edited mine to be pretty in pink. You can make your own hello bar what ever color you choose. You simply add whatever text you want you it to announce to your visitors and add a link of your choice.

Here's the link to their site: http://www.hellobar.com

I hope you ladies enjoy adding one to your own blogs! :)

Haven't posted in a while...

Hello lovelies,

I'm so sorry about the lack of posts on my blog lately. I haven't forgotten about it. I've been sick and getting married soon.

For those of you that don't know, I have scoliosis, which is a curve in my backbone. For some reason my legs get really tight and cramp often. Think this is because the scoliosis makes my hip crooked but I'm not sure what causes the cramps.

I've also been busy with the wedding and planning everything. Only one month left until I marry my best friend and the only guy I've ever loved. I never knew there was so much involved in planning a wedding.  Flowers, dresses, food, decorations, you name it and we've working on it.

After the wedding, I have lots of exciting things planned for my new blog entries so stay tuned!

Meet My Cat Ferby

Ferby:
   After my favorite cat died, my soon to be husband, Chris, brought me a little kitten named Ferby on Easter (2012). He looks just like a ball of fur with a large fuzzy tail. Ferby is brown with black stripes, a white neck, and white paws.

   Soon after moving in, Ferby decided to live in the dollhouse. One day he just didn't fit inside of it anymore. We bought him a "ferby house". It looks like a carpeted dog house with a scratching post and a balcony. Ferby just loves to sit on top of the balcony and eat gold fish crackers.

Meet My Cat Stuart

  Stuart:      In 2012 my cat Ferby was sitting by the glass front door eating. On the other side of the glass, a very skinny one eyed cat looked inside. He was so sad watching Ferby eat. I took him some food and Chris named him Stuart.

   The vet doesn't know what happened to his eye; but he had surgery to remove a polyp from his ear. Now Stewie has gotten so chubby he's going on a diet! He loves to sleep on the back of the sofa and give Stewie kisses with his wet nose. He enjoys laying in a metal pan that I used to keep potted plants in.
