my latest design!

I just wanted to share with you my latest blog design!! I just love this one, and I love the sweet girl I did it for! Her name is Cherry and she just had a baby boy a few weeks ago! We met back at ACU and have really been reconnected through blogging! Thanks, Cherry, I had a blast!

Don't forget to check out my Design Site!

We're headed to Houston in about an hour! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We're in Business!

So, over the past two weeks I've been working on something, and that some thing is this:


KMann Designs! I've started my own blog/print design company! I never really thought it would turn into much back when I started helping people design their blogs for fun, but then I sat back and realized that I had a waiting list, and I really enjoyed doing it so, I decided to start KMann Designs!

Go over and see what it's all about, grab a button if you'd like, and follow me!

Remember that time I was a consistent blogger?

I know it has certainly been a while, but I assure you, it's for good reason! I'm not yet going to let you in completely on what I've been doing, because it's still getting set up and everything, but I'll give you a hint: one day soon you'll be able to add one of these little guys to your blog if you want...

Do you know what it is yet?

Ok, that's enough about that. Just be looking in the next few days, maybe a week or two!

So, moving on! I have some pictures for you from parent night at the football game last week! They even let me on the field because I looked borderline "professional" with my camera, ha!

Kirk was getting annoyed at me taking so many pictures, I'm such a good big sister!

Then I headed over to the student section to see some of the kids!

And then walking back I ran into these lovely ladies..

When you give a kid a camera....

This is what you get!

Have a happy Wednesday!

Another Blog Design

For the past week or so, I've been working back and forth with another one of my ACU friends, Dabney to design her blog! It has been so much fun working with her and getting to visit with her (she lives in Ft. Worth) recently.

I'm so excited for her and her husband J.C. who just found out he has gotten his residency (he's on the tail end of medical school) in San Antonio--where they are both from. I know they are both excited to be moving closer to family!

I had such a good time on this design, because she challenged me! She had ideas of what she wanted, and I was determined to find out how to do them, and I did! Thanks Dabney for helping me to grow in my HTML knowledge!

She, her mom, and another friend Danielle started a photography business a while back and my next project if their photography blog. That blog is linked to on the navigation bar at the top of her personal blog if you're interested!

I haven't forgotten about you

Pictures from Friday night football in Weatherford will be coming soon, maybe tomorrow.. I want to edit and go through them first.

I haven't posted much this week (well at all) because I've just flat out been busy! Things at work have been crazy! I finally finished playing catch up from being gone for the convention a few weeks ago and I've been in meeting after meeting after meeting. I can't complain though because time flies when you're busy! ...and I definitely want time to fly this week because Brandon and I are headed to California on Friday to visit my sister and her husband! We are so excited, and even though Brandon is still in disbelief that he is actually going to California (even more, LA), I know he's going to have a BLAST!

In other news, even though I've been busy, I've somehow found spare time to help another friend out with a blog design! This one was for Jessica. Funny story about her and her new husband, Andy.. I have known Andy for a while now because he is a job superintendent for a general contractor here and was the superintendent on a few of our jobs. I had worked with him on a nearly daily basis, so I felt like I knew him pretty well. I had met Jessica's (at the time) fiance before, but never once put it together that he was the same Andy from work. The weekend we got back from our honeymoon, we were out shopping for furniture when we ran into Jessica and Andy. We were sitting on some of the couches in the store just visiting when it clicked. I stopped and said, "Wait... you're Andy.. like Jeff Luther Construction Andy.. Bonham Elementary?" which he responded with, "yes.. but I don't really like to associate myself with that job when I don't have to.." (it had been a long, stressful, job with vandalism and a lot of unknowns). From then on, working at Bonham was so much easier because I felt like he was my friend!

Jessica is such a sweet girl and grew up in Abilene. She and Brandon have known each other for a long time and were even Young Life leaders together! I was so excited when she contacted me to design her blog! I hope you love it Jessica! (click on the picture for a link to her blog!)

Check out my newest Design

So, I've been making blog designs/custom headers in my spare time, just for fun. This one is my newest one and probably my most extensive one! I made everything from the background to the sidebars and the header! It's fun for me to be creative in other ways while at the same time, helping people achieve what they want with their blogs, but don't know how to do it! Maybe one day I'll do this on the side (and charge a little for it).. you know when I have kids screaming in the background, but for now, I just love doing it and making people happy (for free)!

Katie and her husband Jason have been married for 2 years and last March their lives changed when they welcomed beautiful twin girls, Ansley Grace and Kinley Kate. It was so much fun working with Katie to get what she wanted and even more fun seeing all of the pictures of the babies! Maybe one day, when I'm completely over this cold, I can meet those precious little girls (cause they still live in Abilene)! Katie thanks so much for contacting me about your site!

If you click on the picture, it will take you to Katie's site so you can see all of the things I did!
