    A Year In Rewind – 2011 What a time!

    2011 has been a wonderful year filled with joy! Naptime Design has taken on numerous new clients and projects. I am so beyond words as to how thankful and blessed I have been. In the past year we have continued to serve a wonderful boutique (as we have since 2008/2009), Get Noticed Boutique, in Richardson, Texas. I maintain their website, social media, email marketing and all their graphic design and photographic needs. Around the same time I began helping Canyon Creek Fitness with their website and social media management and set up Cottonwood Creek Civic Associations websites. Later in 2011, I began work with Fit For All Now with Stephen…

    Updates for Fit For All Now

    Stephen Volcik, personal trainer and owner of Fit For All Now has become a great friend and my personal trainer. I am pretty bothered by the fact that I haven’t worked out in weeks due to illness, but hope to “hit the ground running” (no pun intended) again starting next week. Fit For All Now’s website is now up and running. His social media, Twitter and Facebook are getting noticed, the blog now has some insightful entries and I finally nailed down a logo that we all agreed on. Stop by check out Steven’s pages and subscribe to his blog. He know his stuff and works hard to make everyone…

    Sprucing up while I work!

    Work continues and Naptime Design is so blessed to be busier than ever. I may be in the market shortly to add on to my staff of one. If you know anyone with graphic design, web design and social media experience looking for something very part time, send them my way. In the meantime, I felt my nest (my home office) needed more sprucing up. I love my office – it has become one of my favorite rooms in my home (and most frequented), but I figured that it needed some more unique touches. I just bought this lamp from my friend Whitney at W.E. Giggle – she and her…

    10 Things I’ve Learned…

    The past couple weeks have been a lot about learning… Let’s just say I learned more than ten things, but I have to start somewhere, right? 1.  Networking is always key – grow, socialize, learn – make friends, be a good friend, work together…  https://www.facebook.com/smcdallas 2.  Blogging can change your life – think it, blog it, share it.  I feel, I now think in terms of blog posts, Facebook status updates and tweets – do they always get written, not exactly, but I am certainly growing toward that. I think all my thoughts recently consisted of less than 160 characters. LOL 3.  Just like INXS said there is “Not Enough…

    Social Media – Perfect and Flawed – It’s Own Contradiction

    If you didn’t already read the article posted out there by the national Social Media Club. Neilsen’s Q3 Reports on Social Media via Social Media Club, I highly recommend it. Social media is one of the greatest inventions, as far I am concerned. That being said, with all things there are blessings and curses. When is it too much of a good thing? In my most recent business endeavor, I have learned that even though social media is such an amazing way to spread the word, spread the cheer and raise awareness for a wonderful cause – it does also leave windows open for people to attack someone for any…

    Meet my newest client, Stephen Volcik of Fit Now For All!

    I call him my client, but I am his as well. Stephen Volcik, with Fit Now For All personal training is not only my client, but also my new personal trainer. He came to me by the referral of one of my best friends, who is also trained by him. I have been diligently working on and re-working logos, setting up his Facebook accounts, both personal and business page. I am so excited to see how quickly his business is going to grow. I am still debating if I add a Twitter account and blog to his package, but I think FB is going to be a quick first wave…

    Busy as a bee! Just how I like it.

    Of course I couldn’t be happier about all my new clients and I am hoping to take on a few more. Life is good and while I’m busy working on everyone else’s blogs, social media, websites and graphic design mine take a little of a backseat. I hope to get caught up soon on my work blog, but as always my clients come first! Stay tuned for more updates to my blog and website. I have been pretty good about updating my Facebook and twitter. Happy Thursday everyone! -Naptime Design – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

    Weather Related Work Delays…

    Well of course working on web and graphic design is certainly not directly related to weather, but working from home with children running a muck means very little if anything gets done. I am trying to stay current and get the necessary items taken care of, but I am definitely looking forward to warmer and healthier days.  I have a few projects going at the moment, but of course with technology there are always delays when I have to wait for approvals and other nit picking things to work their selves out. Patience is a virtue, that I have been shown, I do not possess during these bleak winter months…
