Hey everybody! If you're currently reading this in your choice of Reader, you should meander over to my actual site (just this once) to see the new amazing design that Katie (@sophisti_katied) from KD Designs created for me! I absolutely LOVE the new look! Katie did such a fantastic job. I really had no idea where I wanted to take it so I couldn't offer a lot of artistic vision; I simply said simple but worth it.:) She knew exactly where to go with it. I'm just amazed! She was also SO patient (it took me over a month just because of school and everything — and being indecisive). You may not notice all the amazing details so I'll just take a minute to brag: she added the favicon to the top (I love the R!), a new blog button, and the social networking buttons (which I adore) — as well as, you know, revamping the whole thing!
I looked for months for the right designer and was often times completely discouraged because I didn't have my own vision for what I wanted. I was scared to go with someone that I didn't know and who didn't care about my blog or me. I've known Katie throughout the years as a fellow blogger and so when I was deciding between someone I didn't know and who didn't know me versus a long-time friend — it was hands down the easiest (and best) decision ever!
If you can't tell by the abundance of exclamation points, I am so excited that I finally decided it was time to "grow up" and join the big leagues! I have my first design everybody!! I was totally going to wait until the new year to show it off — but I just couldn't! I absolutely adore everything about it and wanted to share it with everyone ASAP!
Yes, I am completely aware of the over-abundance of exclamation points, all the "I'm so excited"'s etc — but really... I can hardly contain myself.
Have a great Thanksgiving Eve everybody!
