New month, new look!

Hello there!  This is my new look!  What do you think??

I'm so excited about this blog design.  I'm head over heels in love with it.  It's the honeymoon phase...where I'm clicking to my own blog just to marvel over how pretty it is.

Okay, I'll stop now.

For the last few months, I've thought, "I should do a new design. I know nothing about design. Never mind that."

Then, it got to where I wasn't excited about blogging because I didn't like what I was looking at everyday.  But I kept going because I so love talking to all of you.

Finally, on Friday night, Scott was out fishing and I was sunburnt on the couch, watching re-runs (or something equally exciting).  I thought, "Dang it. This has got to change." In particular, the 3 column design was driving me crazy.  I wanted more space. I felt claustrophobic and you all know I really don't like clutter.

So I emailed Angi and asked her if she could re-do my blog design.

Dealing with a blog re-design can be stressful, especially if you have no idea what you're doing.  Luckily, I have many blog friends who are awesome at design.  I knew Angi, in particular, probably wouldn't mind my millions of questions and specific requests.

That was Friday night.

Today is Monday.

It's done and you are looking at it.

I think you should hire her if you're in the market for a blog design.  Not only was it quick and painless, but she truly loves design.  Check out her shop.  This girl knows what she's doing!  Thank you Angi!

*Also, if I could direct you to the header (don't you love it?), there's Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Bloglovin' buttons.  Follow me if you'd like!  

**Oh, does anyone want to continue the button swap for July or begin a button swap?

  4. Wow, this is a huge change!! I know for sure when I get a new design someday, I want Angi to do it. I love words--but anything to do with codes and designing just is not my thing!
