A Plea For Help...

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope you are doing great today! One day closer to the weekend...

While I'm not fond of begging - I need your help with two small matters relating to this blog. Any recommendations, advice and assistance will be welcomed with open arms! My email address is on the sidebar. :-)  

First, it's time to make things "pretty" around here. I would like a blog header/logo for Shopaholic In Alabama that speaks to the personality of the blog. I also need a "button" for the blog. Ideally this creation would be something that could translate down to business cards, stationery, etc. Maybe even some merchandising ideas that I have in my head for down the road...

Another part of making the blog "pretty" - things are getting mighty crowded on the right side of the blog. I need to convert to a 3-column format and spread it all out.  Yes, I know I can do this myself...I googled for instructions and am LOST. Seriously. It's my hope that I can find someone for the creative stuff above, that will also understand the 3-column Blogspot thing. Ambitious? Probably. But hopefully not!

Last but not least, please help me get to 500 followers! Having 500 followers is a milestone I had hoped to reach in early July, but am not quite there yet. If you read and don't "officially" follow, please click that little "follow" button. :-) If you enjoy this blog, tell your friends about it and ask them to join in the fun.

As always, thank you for reading Shopaholic In Alabama. There are great things coming soon!

Have a wonderful day and I can't wait to hear from you!

    Penny Lane Designs does AWESOME blog makeovers! They are very high resolution and professional looking! Good luck! I would also widen up the posting area so you don't feel so crammed!

    You could always go with a blog designer or do it yourself, like I did. I can definately point you in the right direction, that way you get exactly what you want without paying beaucoup bucks! I'm going back to pink/gree though. Designing as we speak! Email if you want info. slpreppy@gmail.com
    Good luck!!

    I know how to do a button as far as the html coding, but I'm terrible at graphic designing. When blogger launched the design capability to make 3 column blog option, I played for hours to try different options. Thankfully, I saved the code from previous versions because some of my attempts at blog makeover were pretty scary.

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line...

Happy Wednesday my dear friends! I'm so EXCITED today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to "THE ART OF ELISE FRANCESCA".

Tracy Negoshian: Two Holiday Giveaways & Shopaholic Discount

Image
***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke...
