New Look and GIVEAWAY!!!

Well, whaddaya think?? :)

Every year around New Year’s I feel the urge to revamp the ol’ blog. Sometime around December, I started shopping for blog designers. I noticed that quite a few other BBs had gotten blog facelifts recently. And a lot of the ones I liked had all used the same person: Fran @ Freeborboleta Designs.

I also noticed that they had all given her rave reviews as far as her timeliness, professionalism and vision. So I was pretty much sold before I even emailed her.

And I have to say, I am 100% thrilled with the results! And I couldn’t agree more with everyone else – Fran was courteous, professional, easy to communicate with, and very patient with my indecisive/contradictory decision making process :)

I cannot recommend Fran highly enough. If you are considering a blog revamp, please head over to her website, Freeborboleta Designs, and check out her portfolio. (Or, even if you aren’t, do it anyway. You might suddenly decide it’s time for a change! ;))

Meanwhile, I promised y’all a giveaway, didn’t I?

To celebrate my new look – and the facebook page crossing the 2,000 ‘like’ threshold! – I’m doing a “favorite things” type of giveaway.

Coffee and nail polish. What’s not to love?

Kristy said...

I would love to see the sand polish in person, but for myself, I think I would only realistically wear the gloss.

Sarah said...

I think I'd probably go with the gloss. More realistic. :)
