Long, Overdue, Update.

I dont remember the last post I made, you'd think that I would actually look before I post this, but Im too lazy. I appreciate all 25 followers I have here, and if you dont already follow me on my actual blog, then do so now:


A lot of things have changed. Not only did my lap top shit the bed shortly after I decided to design web pages for everyone - that means I (once again) lost all my programs, paint brushes, and collection of tools I used to design. So as you can see, my blogs have remained with the same design for quite awhile now.

Recently I decided to start school. I am currently there full time persuing a degree in education. I am going to try and focus around english and art. I still work full time in the pharmacy. I am still married. And still trying to get pregnant, while also dieting, and revamping my house. Doing do-it-yourself projects on the weekends and being the social butterfly that I am.

Needless to say, I am not going to delete this page - because you were once my fans and at some point when I come across a way to design again, you will be the first to know. I hope all is well with everyone. I am sorry for any inconveniences and broken promises, I may be a day late and a dollar short, but I hope youll follow my personal blog and share your lives with me too!

Thanks for reading :)

Slaccckkkinnng...

...I'm sorry. To those of you who are waiting for a new layout. I now get paid every two weeks and my last check was really skimpy so I had to take on some extra hours at work. I've been pulling off ten hour days so by the time I get home, I have enough time and energy to shower, eat dinner, and chat with the hubby before I actually knock out. Not to mention, my cable, internet, and cell is still off - making it difficult to always get online. My wireless connection comes in & out and doesn't always work.

I've also been a little discouraged. It seems a few of the layouts I have made for some people haven't even been put up yet on their sites, and a few that have, wanted me to fix or change something. Not complaining. But hey! The layout is free. Maybe my skills need some touching up on, yes. It's been quite awhile since I have coded html, sorry. But people charge $100+ just for custom designs, so getting it for free you should be a little nicer and a bit more greatful.  Dont get me wrong though, dont feel like if you dont like something you cant come to me and ask for a color change or to fix a coding error. Cause I will happily do so. I just feel like I havent been fully thanked for what I have done for some people already and after spending a whole day working on a design for you I just get a little hurt if you come to me with only something negative to say. But besides that, I am trying my best and I want to deliver A+ service to you, even if it is free, I just need some more practice, its been awhile.........

Anyways - I apologize to those of you who have been waiting. I still have each and every one of your emails and information, some with detailed messages of what you are looking for. And I still plan to give these out! I just need a little time. Things arent as quick and easy as I thought theyd be & I have alot going on at home anyways.

But I will be in touch and in the meantime, make sure to check out my personal blog or facebook :) Love yas, toodles.

2 Down and Like.... 30 More to Go!

I finished two more layouts this morning, while I was home - for the free give-away.  Although, I don't think that the website owners have gotten their codes up yet, these are my screen shots.

I am also going to ask..... since I do this rather quickly, if you have not EMAILED me yet with photos, colors, or pattern ideas, then when it's TIME for me to do YOUR layout, I will either skip it if I have no idea what to do, or I will just do what I want. And when I do.... please don't ask me to change it. Don't get me wrong, I am not being "mean" but I am giving away like 30 layouts and they are time consuming to make and re-code as it is, so if you don't tell me what you want from the get-go, then I am just gonna do what I think is best for you and your site.

Ofcourse, because I do not run your site myself and cannot put the codes in to  preview it, there might be little kinks here & there. In that case, if you email me- I will be happy to fix it. Some people have mentioned that they are seeing a "watermark" or "phantom image" (which is some text that is invisible) and only visible when they highlite their entire page. That is normal. I have it on mine too, and truth be told, I just cannot figure out how to get rid of it. Every time that I thought I found a way, something else goes off kilter, so instead I just make it invisible to the human eye ;) Besides that everything else should be fine!!


This is for Sara at Running for Myself.  She told me that she loves colors, tattoos, and pretty much everything that I like - so I think she will like this layout. Not sure if she has gotten my email yet, or seen this.


And this is for Michel over at Baby Weight, My Fat Ass.  Which.... I fell in love with this layout right after I was done with it. Which is funny because whenever I do a layout that I love, I want to change mine again. If you check out her site, I think she already has the layout up but wants some tweeking on it....

Now, I've had a super long day off, and although I am "kind of" tired and its almost midnight, I might attempt another layout design for the next person in line. If not done tonight, I will finish a couple hopefully tomorrow.

Everyone Read This!

Whoever asked for a free layout...

I got your request! Either by commenting my other post, or by the email that you had sent me. I tried to reply back to everyone, if I missed you it was accidentally, sorry it's hard to keep up.

You can click on the link at the top of my page that says { To-Do List } & see where you stand.

I need each of you to email me at {missfelicitydesigns-at-hotmail.com}
and please include the following:
-Your name, website's link, website's name, & any taglines or quotes you want me to use.
-Attach any photos, color combinations, and idea of  patterns you like (stripes, zebra,  polkadots etc)
- Please give me any helpful information.... do you like owls, rainbows, choc chips, anything.

Ofcourse, if you do not provide me with anything that helps me, I will do what I want anyways lol.

Also, I should have been more clear. The give-away was for {blogger} layouts, only because that is what I have re-familiarized myself with recently. Although I coded for numberous websites in the past, it's been a long time. So those of you with wordpress, or tumblr, I put your names at the bottom of the list & ofcourse I will try and code you layouts for those sites! Problem is, I just do not have accounts on those sites! So when I am about ready to work on your designs I will email you with some questions.... sorry for the inconvenience.

And do not feel discouraged if you are #16 on my { To-Do List } because I am pretty fast at what I do. I've given away 4 layouts in the past week, so.... just be as patient as you can and look forward to having an amazing personalized layout soon. Plus, free is well worth the wait, right?

Anyways - I have alot of work so I'll end this post here. If you have any questions feel free to comment below or email me. Again, if I dont get back to you right away its because I am busy, not online, at work, or picking my nose and youll hear from me soon!
