Goodbye Google Reader

I know I'm a bit late to the party regarding the fact that Google Reader is shutting down. If you've subscribed to Modern Buttercup via Google Reader or Google Friend Connect in the past, I highly suggest you also subscribe via: Bloglovin', Feedly, or RSS.

I personally recommend Bloglovin' as it's what I use, and super easy to learn how to use. It's free and similar to Google Reader, what's not to like?

Passionfruit ads are now available!

I have a bit of a big announcement over here... I'm now accepting Passionfruit ads! I've been looking forward to making the switch, and decided to do so this month, as a way to really kick off the new year. In fact, you can purchase an ad spot over at my Sponsor page! 

But if you prefer to send me an email to purchase an ad spot instead, that's perfectly ok too! I'd love to hear from you! :)

on my etsy shop and a new venture

I love Etsy, and my little graphic design business has been so busy! I work hard on the orders, and squeeze it into my daily schedule; trying to juggle it with everyday life and my blog --- which is a lot!

I feel that lately my blog has been on the backburner with all my effort trying to run the shop smoothly. And while I'm thrilled it's done so well, it's been almost a bit too much to handle. But no worries, I'm not done with graphic design forever, but for now, my Etsy shop is going to be down for a bit as I focus more on Modern Buttercup. I'm only going to do blog designs for now and focus on those, giving 110% on each design I do.

My design queue is currently open and I'm taking any blog design projects, big or small! Feel free to ask any questions you may have, I'd be more than happy to answer them!

See blog design rates below:

I'm also accepting orders for a la carte items like; blog headers, blog buttons, blog signatures, menu bars, or anything else I didn't mention already. Email me for quotes!

a new look

Modern Buttercup has a new look! Yes, it's true. Although I did love my old blog design and super proud of it, I felt it was time to re-launch it and get back into the swing of things. It needed a bit of a boost and what better way to do that than with a beautiful blog makeover? This time, I saved myself a bit of work and lots of time, and purchased a template from blog milk. Such pretty layouts to choose from! I'm still tweaking it a bit, so there will be some minor changes made to it as time goes on.

With this new look and blog re-launch, I will be saying hello to new features and bidding farewell to others. I'll also be changing slightly what I post about. I'd like to make it a combo of inspiration and lifestyle for now, and it'll probably define itself once I decide what I'll dedicate my blog to. Most likely a mixture of things and topics.... I guess we'll have to just wait and see.

Thanks again, my lovely readers for hanging on and patiently waiting for the small blog hiatus to end. I have lots of amazing posts in store you won't want to miss!
