something new?

i love, love, love my blog design.

i won a giveaway for a new blog layout many months ago {seems like it's been an eternity!} courtesy of the design girl & that is how i ended up with this current design. let me tell you, D was fabu to work with & i absolutely adore her work {and i'm just a touch jealous that she can do what she does!}.

question is...

is it time for an update??

what do you think...tell me, please.

Oh, to be by the sea...

This gig called life {you know, work, kids, bills, cleaning...} keeps me from just picking up & heading to the beach.

BUT...

For a quick escape I can just stare at my beautiful, NEW blog layout! It's perfect. It's so beachy. It's so ME! I absolutely, positively cannot thank you enough, Danielle!!!

Last month, I won a blog makeover and it's been a lot of fun & a real pleasure working with Danielle on creating my new custom layout. Please, please, PLEASE go check out her marvelous designs at The Design Girl.

AND, while you're there, please check out & ENTER her H-U-G-E giveaway extravaganza. Trust me, you'll kick yourself if you don't. I mean, FIVE giveaways with a total of EIGHT prizes...we're talking everything from a monogram to a blog makeover. Yeah, you really need to visit The Design Girl. Go. Now.

I Should Buy a Lotto Ticket

I am on a roll and I'm feeling lucky - and absolutely blessed! In the last few days I have managed to win three different giveaways. THREE! I am so excited!

I won a blog makeover courtesy of The Design Girl. I love, love, L♥VE my current layout which was created by the lovely Melanie at Sassy Chic Designs, but I am excited to see what Danielle from The Design Girl comes up with! I have a feeling I'll be switching back & forth between my current layout and my new layout from time to time!Definitely check both gals out and see what kind of fabulousness they can do for your blogs...tell 'em I sent ya! Danielle also creates some awesome stationery...you can check that out by clicking here.

I won a personalized cakeplate from Fancy Schmancy Designs. I can't wait to receive the cakeplate in all of it's monogrammed and polka-dotted glory! It will be displayed proudly on my kitchen counter and will be home to a Black Magic cake as soon as I feel like baking one. Ha! In the meantime, be sure to check out Amy's Etsy shop by clicking here.

And...

I won LuLu's follower giveaway over at Life With LuLu and Pete. It's a package chock full of goodies like note cards, Bath & Body Works, Vera Bradley, kitchen/cupcake things (did she know I won a cakeplate...perfect!!) and a few surprises. I cannot wait to receive that package in the mail!

I know it's not lady-like to brag, but I wanted to share my extraordinarily good luck with you all because I'm never this lucky. Never, ever.

Thank you to Danielle, Amy & LuLu...I am a truly happy (yet wide-awake at the moment) girl!
