College Dress Flat Cards

I don't know about you, but I love college themed items.  There is something so fantastic about something with your favorite college on it!

My newest item in my etsy shop is perfect for the soon to be college student, recent college grad or alumni (or just a fan!)  And they make great gifts for others or for yourself!

College Dress Flat Cards

Have the college of your choice on these cards, and you can choose to personalize them with a name or initials at the top!

Also, make sure you like Delightful Designs on Facebook-  I am going to start doing a deal of the week soon for facebook fans!  So go like Delightful Designs and then tell all of your friends!

New Etsy Facebook Page!

Big News this week! We've officially launched "She Made That?!" [A Collection of Fabulous Etsy Shops] on Facebook!

So what is it exactly? Well... pretty much what it sounds like! It's a community of hand-selected shop owners that are dedicated to providing you with updates on their shops, participating in giveaways and offering special promo codes to it's fans!

Head here to check it out: She Made That?!

To kick off this new community, be on the look out for a WEEK OF GIVEAWAYS starting December 1st!

Oh and don't worry, the community of shops will at least be doubling within the next couple of weeks; so stay tuned!

Blog Design Giveaway

I know I have been such an absent blogger, but I have been so busy working and designing for the holiday season that I just haven't had the time!

I did want to pop in and let you all know about a giveaway going on at Sweet Tiny Blessings.  Mandi is hosting a Delightful Designs giveaway and someone is going to win a blog makeover!  So make sure to head over there to enter.

If you don't win, I would still love to help anyone with a blog design and will offer a discount to anyone that is interested!  Just email me at delightfuldesigner@gmail.com if you would like a redesign and aren't the lucky winner!

Hope you all are doing well!  Can you believe its almost the holidays??  I can't!  Glad I designed Christmas cards early!  I have my first show this week and I am so excited!  If you are in the Memphis area and would be interested in going, just email me and I'll fill you in on all the details (or you could visit the Delightful Designs Facebook Page to see the flyer!)

Thanks everyone and I will do my best to get back here soon to show some new etsy shop items, blog designs and more!

xoxo

Social Media Overload

Is it me, or is it getting to the point that there too much social media out there?  To be honest, as a small business owner, its getting to the point that I can't keep up.  Between working my full time job, working on my design jobs and trying to get more work, some of the updates of my social media seems to slip through the cracks...  (And yes, I realize I am talking about the huge amount of social media on a social media site, as my husband pointed out to me)

Delightful Designs and Social Media:
I've got the etsy shop
This blog
Facebook Fan page (which now has its own URL!! DelightfulDesignsbyNikki)
Twitter (@nikkihodum)
Pinterest
Klout
LinkedIn

Then of course there is BeKnown, Google +, tumblr, flicker... the list goes on and on.

So my question is- what are you looking at?

For the other small business/ etsy shop owners out there- what are you using?  And are you finding it hard to keep up with all the social media that is out there?
