New Blog Design and Updated Blog Roll

Wow this week went by fast! I can't believe it is Friday!! Well I am happy to share my new and improved blog design with you all. It is pretty similar to the old design. I kept my header... just added a sweet slogan. Now I have those nice little tabs on the top. I figured they would allow things to stay a little more organized.

I have a new section called "blogroll." I think I am going to have to utilize it by posting other blogs buttons in the post. I went ahead and did an example of three blogs that I read that had buttons. I think it looks pretty cute. So if you would like me to add your "button" to the blogroll, just comment and I will add it to the page. I would appreciate it if you added mine to your page as well.

I also have a new "giveaway" section. So if your blog is currently sponsoring a giveaway... let me know and I will add it to the page!

I have a divider between each post, a pink tomato vine! ha And I finally have a signature, sporting the pink palmetto of course! What do you think?

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

PS- Getting excited about football season! GO COCKS! 

Please Excuse the Mess!!!

So I am currently undergoing a blog makeover!! I am very excited about it. I had an amazing illustrator, Cheryl Edstrom, finish up my header illustration this evening. I absolutely LOVE it!! She made it all from scratch and was sooo fast and easy to work with. I told her I wanted a kitchen scene with a pink stove, myself, baby in hand, my hubby and pup. Then I sent her a few photos of the family. And she came up with this amazing header. I am really impressed with her work. If anyone is looking into doing a "blog makeover," I highly recommend Cheryl for all of your illustration needs. I am going to get her business and contact information from her tomorrow. As soon as I receive it, I will post it on my blog for others interested in her services!

Unfortunately the rest of my blog makeover will not be complete for a few weeks. I am currently on a waiting list. But, I think Carolyn, from "I Love My Blog Makeover,"  is going to start on it on June 3rd. So in the meantime, I do not know how to resize my header properly so it is entirely too big. And I managed to mess up my blog format. But o well, it will all be worth it once it is finished!!

Have any of you ladies used any designers or illustrators for your blog? If so, did you like your finished product? Who did you use? Were their prices reasonable?
