… my awesome friend Allison at HalfofVAMH for creating my gorgeous new blog header and logo! I LOVE IT! Thanks SO much, Allison! I spent some time over the weekend rearranging a few things here on the ol’ blog to make it cleaner and a little more streamlined. I plan to add a few more details soon, but for now I think it looks really great! A few months ago I participated in Inspire Me Heather’s “What I Like About Your Blog” party. I submitted my blog for critique, and an anonymous person made notes about it and told me what they liked and didn’t like. The feedback I received was spot-on, and I appreciated the candid response that I got. I totally agreed with everything that was said, but I just needed a little extra boost to make the changes. So, thanks Heather for hosting a great party where I got honest feedback. And thanks to the anonymous blog critiquer out there, whoever you may be! 🙂 Hope you guys enjoy the new blog look! I’m feeling so fresh and so clean, clean these days. It’s awesome. Here is my new button just in case you have the old one lingering around in your sidebar.
Copy and paste all the code into your bloggie widget.
That sounds like such a fun way to get honest opinions! I hope I come across something like that one day because I would love to hear it! I hope you are doing well!
Whoa…it looks great!! I am in DESPERATE need of a blog make-over (or should I say under since I want it toned down about 10 notches!) Still shopping since I am too cheap to pay $350 for a blog make-over (REALLY??? Is it just me or does that seem crazy!?) In any case, yours looks fantastic!!
@Adventures- Yes! It was an awesome way to get honest feedback because she kept it anonymous. If you want to join a current blog critique party A Crafty Bee has one in progress here for the next 5 days: http://becado.blogspot.com/2012/05/what-i-like-about-your-blog.html
@Kristen- Thanks so much! Having a good friend who happens to be an incredibly talented graphic designer is awesome! 🙂 Thank you Allison for designing all of this for me totally FREE!
It’s beautiful here Beth and I’m putting your new button on my blog right now!!
Hi Beth, I just recently did the blog critique thing at Inspire me Heather as well, she has them every few weeks or so, and like you, I found the comments very helpful, and have implemented some of the things the anonymous commenter said. I love your new header, I wish I could redo mine, I try to do everything on my own, maybe I could figure it out somehow.
Everything looks great, Beth! I lovve your logo and header!!! What a great friend you have! 🙂
It does look clean and elegant! I would be too nervous to submit mine for critique lol I am sure it is way too bright for many people but it’s who I am 🙂
I love it Beth! The design and colors are so soft and beautiful. It’s totally “you” and your gorgeous style!
