Thank You, Suggestion and Added Advertisements

First of all I want to thank all my new followers. Over the past couple days my followers on both my Facebook Page and my Pinterest Boards have grown substantially. If you havent ventured over to either I invite you to!

If you are a regular reader of my blog you will notice some subtle changes to my page but some big ones in the future of this blog. In order to keep my daily blog going I have added some advertisements in additions to the Project Wonderful ones I have already. Although they have helped they cannot fully pay for the operating cost of this blog.

At the bottom of my blog you will notice some added links and ad boxes. All the added ads are from places that I endorse and will never be anything that I would not myself, or have not participated in or purchased. All ads are somehow related to what I have and will talk about in this blog.

I also want to take this post to ask you if you have any suggestions for A. Nieman Design going forward. Please feel free to contact me via facebook or email. All questions, comments and suggestions are appreciated!

Have a wonderful Day!

Happy New Years! My New Years Resolutions

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I am glad that you have joined me again in this new year. I am really excited about this year and have many plans for this blog and ANiemanDesign.

Earlier this week I posted on my here a link to a poll I am taking on my Facebook page asking what you would like to see more of from my blog this year. Please take a gander over there and vote if you would! I want to get all the feedback I can get.

This time of year we all think about improving ourselves. I am looking to improve myself and my work. I hope that as you travel with me we can create a dialog on what is working and what is not working.

What improvements are you looking to implement this year?

Please comment below to help us help each other improve and stay on track!

Thank you for reading and welcome to my new readers!

What I am Thankful For

During this holiday season it is traditional to go over what you are really thankful for and reflect. Each year I put it off a little and don’t really reflect like I should. But with recent events being as they are, I decided that now more than ever I need to reflect on what I have rather than what I don’t have.

First and foremost I am thankful for my supportive husband. We just got married this year but we have been together for almost 9 years and each year I love him even more. He has been of great support during my recent job loss and his positive outlook as meant so much to me.

Next my family. I have a support structure in my family that although not perfect, they are there for me and I appreciate their love. I can’t wait to see them all this Thanksgiving. 

My friends, during times like this you learn which friends are authentic and actually think of you the same way you think of them. The support of friendly laughter, a good story or a friendly hug make each day easier than the next. I know that my support system is something that can be envied. I am thankful for the knowledge that if even harder times come I will have people around me who care and want to help.

I finally am very thankful to you my readers. You help keep my work going and to know that you enjoy what I am putting out there gives me great pride. I don’t have a ton of follows like some blogs, but I am thankful for each of you and your support through the years.

I hope everyone has a great holiday this Thanksgiving and I will see ya’ll back here on Friday!
