Here is an autumn theme from us with simple illustration for the header and maple leaf icon for the sidebar title. The background’s pattern is courtesy of tvr from colourlovers.
Theme name: Hello Autumn
Features: 3 columns, widget ready, right sidebar, ajax light box for pictures.
Enjoy~! 
Migrated to a new host
SimplyWP has been down for more than 30 hours since yesterday. It’s all come to the web hosting. Due to our limited budget on hosting, we didn’t really look for professional web hosting. We tend to look into some budget hosting, however, the service also became budget.
Galaxy Webhosting is one of the worse web hosting experience we ever had. Downtime is fine for a few hours for us. But when it over 10 hours, it must be something fishy. Galaxy Webhosting support went offline, totally missing in action. No email are gonna be replied, MSN missing, site down. It was said to be testing PHP5, but taking more than 30 hours to test on a server with clients? Who in the right mind would do this? Just so you aware, be careful of this web hosting.
LunarPages saved our day. It just a few hour I sent my payment, the host is ready. Due to the number of our sites, it took us another day to actually move all the backups and files to here 
Comparing, LunarPages has a lot faster FTP connection than Galaxy Webhosting. Thanks God!
Custom made for travel blog
Joan came to us to have a custom-made theme for her travel blog - The Journey. She takes lots of pictures hence she wants the header to be a profile of a girl on the road with a camera on hand.
Other specifications:
3 columns, light blue for the background, white for the content area, light gray for the sidebar and an area to place six (125×125) ads.

Autumn is here
Cady contacted us to have a fall theme designed for her personal blog, not so newlywed. She would like to have an image of a couple raking leaves or something in front of a house with leaves on the ground, etc.
We kept the width of her previous theme, dress up her blog with fall’s colors and not to forget to add the element of autumn - the red maple leaves.

When I went to simplywp for a custom theme, I had a very specific idea in mind. Kathie took what I told her and gave me exactly what I wanted. My theme is awesome, and it was very affordable. Kathie is fabulous, and I am so happy with what I got. I will definitely be using simplywp for themes in the future!
