Fairy Godmothers do exist !

Okay - I may be lying about that one.
BUT...
Fairy BlogMothers really do exist !

Happy Friday everyone - Today's post with be a bit of a shout out.

 If you are a regular to my little blogging world, you probably noticed that the blog looks a bit a lot different than what it did Wednesday ! (Well Wednesday morning I mean, it changed that afternoon, but let's not get technical - it's Friday)
I'm so excited about the new look and the official removal of the top blogger bar ! Yippee !

Alright short story time.
 Every morning I read the daily post from "I am momma hear me roar" (Please check this lady's blog out. Everything from kids crafts, DIYs, sewing, challenges, etc.etc.etc. I could go on forever, Cheri has it all ! She is an amazing blogger. Oh and you can also check her out on the Martha Stewart show at the end of January :) Anyway when I first started my blog I had a million and 1 questions with no one to answer them. So after finding "I am momma hear me roar" blog, I took a chance and sent Cheri an email asking her a few questions as I knew she was obviously a pro at this blogging thing - having almost 8000 followers and all. (A-freaking-mazing right?)
 I was surprised and excited to see she wrote me back the same day ! Oh and bonus - she was so friendly AND she answered all my questions ! ( Ya ! - Thank you Cheri :)

Okay, okay, back on track - long story short, I found out about Erika "The Fairy Blogmother" through Cheri. She told me she had a blog designer and I was eager to learn more about this ! ("A blog designer, what ? Sounds important - I want one." Was actually my first thought.) So off went the email to Erika !

From start to finish it took a little over a week to get my "new" blog up and running. Erika is a great gal, easy to work with, quick at responding to emails and very affordable ! I highly recommend working with her if you are a really into this blogging "thang" !

Here is her blog link : http://www.thefairyblogmother.com/
She also has a personal blog called "Oops, I craft my pants" that I had to add in here, as the title of it is absolutely hilarious. (I swear I chuckle every time I read it)

Thank you Erika for making me feel all warm and fuzzy about my new blog look !

So on that note - I must say "Au Revoir" for now as I have endless hours of painting ahead of me ! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend ! Post you on Sunday with Mr.'s favorite meal of the week.

  1. You are so nice. Thank you so much for the shout out.

    And, I gotta say...Everything you said about Cheri is so true! She is so great. I love that she is a big name blogger, but doesn't act like she is. She's still as down to earth as ever!
