my fairy blogmother

Y'all! I have a fairy blogmother! Granted, I must have taken a crazy pill this month. Because in the midst of buying a house, selling a house, semi-remodeling the former and grieving the latter, I thought it would be a great idea to have my blog re-designed.

Well bring on the crazy cuz right now, I just want to chat away with a hot cup of coffee and a big piece of chocolate cake. That is what this new design is doing to me. Making me happy! And fatter, apparently. But it is going to bring such loveliness to my day and to yours as well, I hope.

It all started a few months ago when my sister gave away a tassel during the great bloggy giveaway and the winner was Mommy from The Womble Times. I clicked on her blog and loved her design and then I realized that she, herself was the designer!
She has her own company called Peek-a-boo Greetings and she is doing all this work to raise money for the travel expenses involved in the adoption of her daughter.

I wish I knew more about that...unfortunately so far, most of what I know about her has nothing to do with her and everything to do with me: she is really patient (with me), she likes to use numbers to keep things organized (when she sends me e-mails), and she stays up really late (to work on my blog design). She is funny and creative and...and...Oh I'm just bursting! We were working into the wee hours of the morning (and by "we" I mean she was working and I was watching Friends and hitting refresh on my email inbox to see what she had to tell me next). And then she said I could go to bed and wake up to a new blog design which is exactly what I did and now...I have a fairy blogmother! How cute is she? I feel 4. And I love it!

I am so thankful for her talent and hard work. I hope you enjoy the fruits of her labor. I know I will.

So funny because I am waiting on her to start my blog design!! She does such a good job. I should be next so I can't wait to see what she comes up with. Yours looks great and very similar to the kit I picked out.

Just re checked my email from her about my design and noticed I did pick the same kit....Funny!

Fab. I can't wait to look around. It's very you. I'm like 90/10 jealous. (Just saw when Monica and Chandler got engaged.)

Hooray! Isn't it a cool feeling to have something that looks and feels more like you? I love it! And I love your music today. This is the kind of stuff I listen to all day long and it just makes me nice and mellow ;).

Enjoy your new blog and have a great day!

Just before I head to the kitchen to feed my ever hungry family, I will tell you just how much I love your new design. I want it. I'm serious. It's wrong to covet but right now the only thing important to me is to have a really cool blog. I'm thinking there are more important things in life, but I'm not remembering any.

Love it! I had that "Hey, where am I?" moment when I clicked on your blog today. Felt like home, with a friend, and long girly talks. Where is the chocolate?

Love the look... it's so fun and pretty!

We are hoping to find a home to do some work on when we move! There is just something special about putting your mark on it! Since we are new at it, our only hope is that we put a good mark on ours ;-)

God bless,

So cute, Em. And very you!

I must comment to the person who said that they were 90/10 % jealous! SO great. I love a Friends reference. We have been marathoning them lately. In my blue period lately, the Friends have been cheering me up.

Also, I have been checking out blog designers, too. Might have to check out your fairy blogmother!
