My Business Website!

K • Meyering Design Website Snapshot

It has been many, many, MANY months coming! Finally, I was able to find some time (and by 'some time' I mean 'long days') to design my business website. Web design is a pretty in-depth thing...completely different from graphic design! But it was fun and I'm very happy with the result! However, it's always nice to hear feedback from others and get any advice, ideas on what I could do better. 

So, after deciding and designing how I wanted my website to look, I went to my web design program and started building the website. It took a lot of long hours, and a few nights of Bella getting no walks, but it's completed and I'm finally able to share it with all of you and my future clients!

The site includes an updated about page - telling about my design journey and how I got where I am today, and then also a little about my personal life. I've included a portfolio page and a contact page. My portfolio page allows visitors to view 4 different portfolios, including wedding, baby, graduation, and photo editing & restoration. The contact page gives visitors the option to message me requesting for additional information about my work or for those interested in design work - the messages come straight to my email inbox!

By having this website I will be able to advertise my design skills and work I have completed to people all over the state, and quite possibly, country! If you know of anyone interested in design work (of any kind) or may just be interested in seeing what I do, please pass my website or email on to them!

Angels in Heaven

Mike and I returned home to Garner this past weekend as we lost two dear family members last week on the same day: Great Uncle Jr. and Aunt Dorothy. We were so glad to be able to make it home to see family and say goodbye to two amazing, selfless people. Two of the many memories that come to my mind when thinking of them both would be Dorothy's big garage sales in Forest City and playing Bingo at Junior's at the annual Memorial Day picnics. The two of them will never be forgotten. 

It was so amazing and touching to hear all the stories about them, including my grandma and her sister Veronica, my mom and her sisters, and all the other cousins. We were able to see all of our extended family and sit and talk with them. Such a large, wonderful family we have! We are so blessed!

I came across a quote today that I really liked. I thought I would share it and the following picture with everyone.

Dorothy Frein, Frank Jr. Rayhons, and Arlene Frein

 

"When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel that you know."

Unfortunately, their other two sisters, Veronica and Arlene (my grandma), were unable to be there as they are both in the hospital doing their best to heal and be back with us soon. They may not have been there physically, but they were with us all! I was able to visit grandma a couple times over the weekend and had a great time reminiscing with her, sharing stories, and filling her in on our lives back in Carroll. She's getting better each day and I pray that God continues to bless her with his healing hand.

It's times like these that we are most thankful for our families.

Something from Nothing!

Okay, so maybe not from "nothing"....but you get the idea.  I've been reading a lot of blogs lately with different decor, craft, organization ideas. Pretty addicting might I add! I've gotten a lot of ideas from these blogs and usually making something from nothing!

I'll share one of my recent 'super-simple' ideas that I've come across and tweaked a bit.

What can you do with this...   

(a dusty black easel)

...and this?

(a fancy dessert plate)

Make one pretty sweet message board for your kitchen!

Easy as pie! 

Because the plate has a glossy finish, you can write on it with dry erase marker and easily erase, just like a school whiteboard! Yay! 

When I originally saw this idea they used a white ceramic plate on a plate holder. My kitchen isn't exactly white or really have any 'white' in it - so when I saw this cute decorated dessert plate at Wal-mart, I was elated because it would match my country themed kitchen perfectly! The best part is the plate was only $3.50! And I already had the easel, so a very inexpensive decor piece that has a function! Leave a message for your spouse, kids, whoever, or a note or to-do list for yourself! 

Enjoy!

A New Do!

This past weekend was a relaxing weekend for us! Since we were being so lazy, Bella pretty much slept all day. With her recent cut she was shivering - so being the wonderful, thoughtful person I am, I gave her a fleece blanket. Bad idea! She absolutely loved it and got all wrapped in it, however she was probably getting a better satellite signal than our dish!

 

She had no idea what was going on! I felt bad laughing at her, but how can you not at least smile?! It lasted a good 10 minutes and we no longer give her 'fleece' to cuddle with!
