Can you guys believe the way my blog looks? It's taken many long hours to get it to this point. It's finally become a reality, but it's been weeks in the making. I think it was almost 2 months ago that my friend Maria @ Agape Love Designs sent me an email and offered to give me a blog overhaul. I think she just couldn't stand looking at my header anymore, lol. I know it was a mess, and my entire blog was a big eye sore. I am so sorry to have put you all through that, but designing a blog is hard work. No matter how many times I tried, I just couldn't get it right. Nothing I did made me happy. I wanted a signature look for my blog, but I just didn't have the vision. I was thrilled and told Maria I would love her help.
Weeks passed and I still didn't have a clue about what I wanted for the blog, and it's kind of hard to design a blog for someone when they don't know what they want. Then 2 weeks ago I got in one of my design moods again, and spent literally 2 days, and 2 sleepless nights trying to work out the blog design, code, and layout, until I finally gave up and asked Maria for help. Before I knew it she had taken charge, asked me all kinds of questions, and started working on the new look. I can't even begin to tell you what an amazing experience it was working with her. Being the control freak that I am, it was super hard to just let her take charge, and not get in the way, but she was very clear with me, very stern, and very serious that I needed to let her do her thing, and that she promised I would be happy.
The blog speaks for itself doesn't it. For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, I'm sure you can remember what it looked like before. What do you think of it now? Is it super or what? I know I'm not being modest at all, I am just so proud of my new blog, and think it is THE BEST. All thanks to the wonderful design talents of Maria @ Agape Love Design.
She has worked so hard on redoing practically every aspect of my blog.
I got a new header,
new buttons,
tons of beautiful labels,
a new favicon,
an awesome signature,
a new background
and with a lot of trial and error an incredible layout, all with a newer template.
I thought it was only possible to have a wide layout with minima, but my girl Maria made it happen without it, and I LOVE IT.
She was so helpful in helping me find my purpose for this blog, and with my new found vision, I am just so excited to start making it a reality now. She was patient, she was understanding, and every step of the way, even though she gave her input she always made sure the final decision was mine. I loved that, even if I made some bad ones along the way, she just fixed it and never said I told you so, lol. I could not have created this look without her, and I learned so much along the way. How to be patient, and how to trust others with things that are super important to me. I put all my faith in her, and she delivered way more than I ever imagined for my blog.

SO THANK YOU MARIA, I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING!
She wouldn't accept any money from me, she offered to do it because she is awesome like that, but there is no way I could accept that, so I am passing on my thanks to her, by supporting her ETSY SHOP, and her blog design (which should really be a business), and offering FOUR lucky winners a chance to win.
