Welcome to Entre Nous version 2.0 (well officially version 3.0, this blog has been given a facelift once before). This time though is an official "relaunch" or "re-branding", if you will. Clearly I'm over the moon with the result, hence my Mary Tyler Moore moment. I teamed up with a designer from my beloved Typepad (their customer service is top notch) to collaborate on the new design. The designer managed to pull off the miraculous, an entire new design in 5 days. With a custom url, favicon, and signature, among other features, the look I've always envisioned was achieved.
As I start packing for my trip to SLC on Wednesday for Alt Summit, the butterflies are front and center. It feels like I'm prepping for my first day of school. There's the anxiety over selecting the perfect outfits, appropriately stylish yet professional. There's also the chance to sport your most daring and avant garde accessories (do I dare bring my shoulder length feather earrings?). Regardless of what outfits make the final cut, my tiara (of the knit variety) will most definitely be coming with me to Utah again. There's still the lengthy lists of tasks to accomplish before my departure, but the major to-do's have been checked off: blog redesign, website design and business cards delivered (told you I was having a "major malachite moment").
Speaking of business cards. I had a minor heart attack last week when the business cards I designed with Moo arrived with a typo. The typo was of course of my own doing. So obsessively I reread the text for any miss-spellings I managed to overlook a space in my Instagram name. I contacted Moo and despite owning up to the typo, they immediately corrected the mistake and expedited the cards. 100% satisfaction guaranteed is their motto after all. They're rockstars! The bonus is that I now have 150 business cards sporting malachite that I can now turn into an amazing DIY.
Here's hoping Alt Summit and the redesign of Entre Nous is only the start of what exciting adventures 2014 has in store.
