Girly & Chic Boutique Template Designs Available!

Yesterday I added a few new girly and chic boutique templates to SpiffyBoutiques.com. Remember, my templates can be used for a VARIETY of sites, not just Boutique Shops. They can be modified for your Blog, Basic HTML website or Shop. So when you visit Spiffy Boutiques, be sure to look at ALL my designs. Something you find in the WordPress theme section, might work well for your boutique shop instead. Please contact me through my website contact form and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about my designs and other services!

The new designs I added yesterday were:

Sweet Sara: I LOVE this design!! It's so yummy looking, it's like candy or cupcakes. I felt like designing something with a Minty Green and brown then threw in the pink and blue. This is an EXCLUSIVE Design so it will only be sold ONE time to ONE lucky customer. I'm thinking about keeping it for myself...



Chocolate Dream: I was working actually on a custom design for a customer of mine, when this one got a little off track. So I decided to have some fun with it and see where it took me. I ended up with a very Brown layout with a sip of color here and there. This is a very different template but I think appealing. I've listed it as a Limited Edition design. Of course, all my limited editions have the option to be Exclusive to the first customer that purchases them.



I don't think I'll have time to add more designs until next Monday, but keep checking back! Inspiration can come at odd hours...

Watching the Polls

I'm just watching the polls .... did you vote? I did! I voted for the FIRST time today for President of the US. I didn't vote last election because I didn't have an opinion at the time - which I know is completely crazy - but true. I never watched the news, I didn't have any economic interests, healthcare issues, nothing. Now, years later I'm chin deep into this entire process and all of the issues.

I have had some very interesting conversations with people around me on their views -I think it is sad that so many do not have an Open mind on Politics - I like to hear what other people think, what their views are and why they are voting for this person over this one. In fact, I love debating over these things.

But here's the bottom line - Whomever you voted for for President - you made a Contribution to this Country - to Our Country. Our Ancestors came across oceans to build this country from the ground up - to give us the rights they never had. Do we honestly deserve the freedoms we enjoy if we don't take the time to vote? and if you didn't vote - why? Personally, I say if you didn't vote, don't complain. Don't get on your high horse about the state of the economy, health care, wages, gas prices - any of it.

If you did vote - God Bless You. Remember, we are only putting our Faith into another Human being and our Trust in their Ability to Lead our Country. The hope that they will put together a strong Cabinet of government that will work for the People.
