So what do you think? I've been seeing some amazing blogs with new headers and backgrounds and have wanted to update my blog which was pretty boring. I knew that when I did it I wanted Karen over at Valentine Design to do it for me since she does such an amazing job, but just never took the time to look into it. Well, last week I was trying to change the color of my font on my header and was getting very confused because I didn't have a layout button anymore. Long story short, I was playing around and pushed a button I shouldn't have and lost everything on my sidebar. Instant panic.........so I emailed Karen to see if she could help me and the next day she got it all back for me. Needless to say the timing was right for me to have her pretty up my blog. I love how it turned out and she is so sweet and easy to work with. She pretty much already had some things in mind for me and knew the look I wanted. I now have a button for "White Wednesday" for any of you who want to add it to your blog. I think Karen was one of the very first people to sign up for the WW theme and one of the first people I met blogging. Thanks Karen.
So if any of you are looking for a "facelift" hop on over to Karen's site and check out all the wonderful custom jobs she's done for many bloggers already. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy! xoxo K

~Also I have some exciting news to share with you on Wednesday's post.~

Hi Kathleen, it looks wonderful! Very very up scale. I'm changing my header too, I've been waiting untill I take a few more photos to add. This is a busy time for me so it takes me a while to feel creative. I love what you've done, and appreciate so much the White Wednesday link party. It's so much fun. Great job, tami
ReplyDeleteI had to come back and look for Max. I'm so happy to see him here. Just needed to let you know I remembered him and his sweet face from one animal lover to another. Your blog wouldn't be the same w/out him, but you know that already!

Beautiful! My favorite is the white ironstone and the cloche. They're two things that I am really drawn to these days (two of the many, lol)!

Your blog looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThis is actually my first time visiting, and it's been a treat.
I have a question for you...
Are the White Wednesdays themed differently each week, or is it "anything white goes" each week?
Thank you,
Linda
Love it, very pretty and vintage looking!! I might just have to get in touch with her myself, as I would really like to have our blog "tweeked" as well!!! Cathy aka GGJ
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! LOVE IT!!! It's so you! Karen sure did a nice job. I've so wanted to make a "real" header on mine as well but I'm so no computer savvy enough. Maybe I'll see what she can do for mine too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing the new on Wed!

Love the blog design. Karen did my design too and I must say that she is the best designer out there. She is so easy to work with.
ReplyDeleteShe designed five blogs for me. I post on three fairly regularly and the other two are waiting for me to catch up with life.
This is truly beautiful! I love what she's done for you!
