Today is one of those days when the internet is so beautifully poised to make a difference in the world, our hearts can hardly bear it. There is a family–the Nielson family–and they are in serious need of our help.
The Nielson’s–Stephanie (of Nie Nie Dialogues), her husband Christian and their four darling children–have experienced difficulty and tragedy unlike most of us have known. On August 16th, 2008, Stephanie, Christian and Christian’s flight instructor were in a serious private plane crash in Arizona. Sadly, the flight instructor died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Stephanie and Christian remain in critical condition, with Christian sustaining burns on over 30% of his body and Stephanie was burned on over 80% of her body.
This family, this mom, are so precious and such a shining light in the blogosphere, we at ruby & roja just had to act. Today, Design Mom Gabrielle is hosting “Nie Nie Day”, and as many bloggers as possible are hosting a silent auction to raise funds for the Nielson family.
We are offering a Plush Design Package up for bidding. The bidding starts at $10, and you may leave your bids in the comments section on this post. Each additional bid must be at least $1 higher than the previous bid. Auction closes on Sunday August 31st at 10pm Central. The winner will be contacted by us, and will pay the amount of their winning bid to the Stephanie and Christian PayPal account. The winner will then send the receipt to us at arianne@rubyandroja.com, and we will get started on their design.
Please spread the word about this family’s story. Read updates from Stephanie’s sister’s blog (C Jane Run), or you can also donate directly to the family’s fund.
Thank you!

We’ve been giving away free blog designs like it’s our job! Congrats to Laurie who won Christy’s blog design giveaway and congrats to Jen who won Beth’s giveaway.
Also, Heroes for Children has chosen a new name for their blog, and one of the names one of the entrants suggested did win! However, the winner will not be announced until the design is complete and we are about midway through the process, keep checking their blog to see who the winner is!
We’ve changed our name at Be Design!
While we love the name Be Design and we loved calling ourselves Be Girls, we did not love not owning our own domain. Even though http://www.beblogdesign.com/ was available and we purchased it and used it, we want to do more than design blogs…we want to design websites, logos, help you create your brand, design birth announcements and ANYTHING THAT GOES ON PAPER!
Now, we are Ruby & Roja (ro-ha) Design and we are so excited about this change. The name reflects our true design nature, a little conservative, mixed with a whole bunch of saucy!
Continue checking back with Ruby & Roja as we have many changes heading your way!
Clients are still being accepted, you can be added to our queue by contacting our Red Hot Design Coordinator, Arianne.
