Better than Ed McMahon.

How do you like the new look?
When I saw it for the first time I cried.  Happy, happy tears.
I have been wanting to makeover my blog for so long, and even worked with another designer at one point.  But those designs just weren't "me".   The trouble was, I didn't know what "me" was.  In swooped Marina to save the day.

I was ready to have her give my new look a try, but she off and went to Europe for a month.  (Poor thing.)  When she returned she had a giveaway on her blog and I was the lucky, lucky winner.  I filled out a tiny questionaire and she took it from there.  I truly believe that she took quite a bit of time studying my blog to figure out my style.  She knew exactly what I was looking for, even when I didn't.  She is a dream to work with, and I know that her designs speak for themselves.  Thanks so much Marina!  I adore what you did.  Visit her over at Penny Lane Designs to have her work magic for you too.

    I thought I was in the wrong place today when I arrived at your blog! It looks fantastic. Joy's Hope is on my "must read daily" list, you could probably say I have a little blog crush. My heart skipped a beat when I saw your comment...and I thought "SHE visited MY blog, WOW...why?!" Thanks for the comment, and especially thanks for dropping by!

    This new look looks different on my windows vista. On my regular windows there is no floral border, but on my vista it has the pretty border. I like it both ways, but I was just wondering if it was this way for anyone else?
