The new design will slowly make its way to completion as the day progresses (there are still a few minor pieces missing), but for the most part:
THIS IS IT!
What do you think?
I have to say - I am in love.
I had really been wanting a new design that was a bit more professional looking. Less cartoony, more clean.
I had a few ideas I threw out to Barbara DiLisio when we first started talking, but for the most part she took tiny snippets from my non-creative brain and ran with it. Turned it into something beyond my wildest imagination.
She's kind of incredible like that.
So, if you are in the market for a new blog design - I cannot recommend her enough. Her prices are INCREDIBLE when compared to other designers (as in - it was something I could actually afford!), and she is currently running a blog design special for the month of November.
Plus, she was insanely quick in terms of turn around. And totally fantastic in terms of dealing with my neurosis!
I pretty much love her and am thinking I have found my new permanent blog designer.
Because, you know; if everything goes according to plan, there are going to need to be a few changes around here in the next year!
So seriously though, what do you think?
