One of my customers, eLLeMeNoPea, is having an awesome summer contest! I could certainly use some help with my bare walls and thought maybe you could too. Read more about it here:

Just a quick update, I will be on vacation from July 3-12.  I will have limited access to e-mail, but will try to check at least once a day.  I will only respond to critical issues.  All other e-mails and quote requests will be answered when I return to the studio on Monday, July 13.  Thank you!

Wow, have I been a bad blogger lately! Things have been crazy busy around here. Lots of projects to be finished up, plus the kids are out of school so I have fewer work hours in the day. I’ll try to do better, I promise. Okay, on to today’s Five on Friday!

• I have an awesome flip flop tan. Don’t be jealous.
• If I wasn’t a web designer, I would love to be a landscape architect or a photographer.
• I’ve gotten up and exercised every day (M-F) for TWO weeks - turning over a new leaf, LOL…
• I heart Google Reader, could not live without my daily RSS Feeds.
• I just ordered this book - I dream of a happy, organized home!

The good news is I was able to rebuild *most* of my e-mail files. The bad news is I did lose quite a bit of what was in my “in box”. I’m trying my best to remember what was in there and who I need to respond to. If you sent me an e-mail and haven’t heard back, you might want to resend. It’s quite possible that your e-mail is one of those that was lost. Thanks! A..

So yeah, I’m kind of freaking out right now. When I tried to open Outlook this morning, I was greeted with a lovely error message. An error message leading me to believe that my e-mail files might be corrupt. O. M. G. This is horrifying to me. I keep everything in my e-mail. All my to do lists, all my contacts, all my customer history, all my billing info. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. Hopefully I can get this fixed. In the meantime, I do have access to e-mail now through webmail; I just don’t have any of the e-mails you may have sent me prior to 9:46 CST this morning. If you are waiting for a response from me, please re-send. Not sure how long I may be without Outlook.
