A few weeks ago I got an offer I couldn't refuse. Erika, my very own Fairy Blog Mother offered to give my blog a face lift. It was something I had been meaning to do, but hadn't gotten around to. I admitted to her that I would probably be a bit annoying/uptight to work with because I like things "just so." However, she said she'd still love to do it. (Signal heavenly choir sound effect.)
So we are interupting our regularly scheduled program today so you can take it all in. IF YOU ARE IN GOOGLE READER PLEASE COME OUT OF HIDING AND CLICK OVER or you'll miss the party here. Did she rock it or what?
If you're looking to take the next step with your blog I highly recommend getting in touch with Erika. Let me point out some of the things she did.
- New header and background
- New buttons
- Social networking buttons (so you can connect to my new facebook page, subscribe to the blog, etc.)
- Added a signature to the bottom of each post.
- Added the "Share this" at the bottom of each post so you can tweet, facebook, or stumble upon any entries you want to share with others.
- Added a special font for post titles and sidebar titles.
- Made my navigation bar at the top look fabulous.
- Gave me a favicon (tiny picture by the website bar above).
- Put up with my pickiness.
- Did it all quickly, with great communication.
So if you are thinking about making some changes or updates to your blog, head on over to the Fairy Blog Mother. She's wonderful, kind, talented, and everything a fairy blog mother should be. Thank you SO much Ericka. I really appreciate all your hard work.

I love it! This is the first time I've ever noticed a favicon! I have one tiny, and probably personal, question... How much did (or would) the bloggy revamp cost... I have no idea about these things... thanks!
I am in LOVE with your new blog header! It is really a cute picture and it is so clever with your title on either side. She also did a great job with all of your little "extras". I might just have to go pay the fairy blogmother a visit :) Congrats on your new layout...it really does look awesome!

I'm pretty sure the internet is a jerk because I've been thinking about getting a blog makeover but right now? Spending freeze. And also? Lots of online sales from my favourite stores and fabric stores and pattern stores and you get the picture. So, internet? Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I'll have to do some fav-ing here and hope that I remember to go looking through my favs when I'm defrosted!

Love the new look - as soon as I opened your page I went 'Ohhh' :). I'm afraid I put my poor Blog designer a little through the ringer too. It's such a personal thing that it's hard not to want it just right!
It's ADORABLE!!!
I wish someone would offer to do a blog makeover for me!! ;-)

Ohhhh, pretty! Love it and it suits you perfectly!!!! I heart the header pic too :)
Everything looks fantastic! Very cool indeed. I was trying to revamp by blog a little on my own and I have been wondering for the longest time how to change the font for post titles and sidebar titles. Do you know how she did that? Any advice would be appreciated...no one has offered me any free make-overs, dang it! ;)

Cracking up, I'm a bit picky too, funnee!!I think the houndstooth is my fav part (I recently saw V&Co is selling a pattern for a houndstooth blanket, it's very pretty too).
I'm a day late to the party over here, but thought Firefox took me somewhere new until I recognized you & the boys in the header. LOVE the new layout!!! :-D
OOh, I love it! Erika is working on mine right now, and I found you by googling her. I lOVE your header, you guys are too cute! Gonna go scope out the rest of your blog now...so far I'm a fan!
