MAKEOVER PARTY!
Thanks for stopping by! I'm so excited to show off my new 'do'!
Giveaway CLOSED
I won a professional blog maker from Bloggy Giveaways a while ago. Shera from Sweet N Simple Design was so easy to work with! I gave her an idea as to what I would like, a modern lady sewing, colors prefrences, and the overall 'feel' I wanted.
What you see here is the result of Shera's talent! ThAnkS Shera!!!

Like the new look! Need some time to look around. Please enter me in your giveaway!
Love the new look and that menu bar is such a GREAT idea....but must have taken you hours (days??) to get things in their proper place there. What a great way to organize your blog, though. Please enter ME in your giveaway, too! Thanks!
I love the green! Go green! Every blog should have some green! And now yours is green! Have you noticed every sentence so far has finished in the word "green?" I love the clutch, not only because it's scaley like my pet reptiles, but mostly because it's (you guessed it) green!!
I just found your blog, it looks great. Please let me enter you give away.
