"Bus Driver, MOVE THAT BUS!"
Beautiful, ain't it? I am so excited that today marks a year of blogging and what better way to celebrate than to have a blog makeover?
Last month, I won a blog design giveaway by Barbara at Happily Forever After and now it's time for the big reveal.
I know my finicky nit-picking must have driven Barb BONKERS, but the end result is undeniable! Just look at it! This design is something straight from my dreams and it's all thanks to Barbara!
I suggest you head over to her blog and follow because not only does she make fabulous designs (when she finds time, she makes designs and posts them on her blog for whoever wants to buy it) but she also writes wonderful book reviews (and happens to be as in love with historicals as I)!
Obviously, I am overwhelmed with pride (and my perfectionists complex), so I'll be tinkering with the widgets and pages a bit as I settle into my new look. Please excuse any weird positioning of side bar items and stuff for the next few days as I get things 'just right'.
--While you're looking around, be sure to enter the Blogoversary "Build A Book Giveaway"-giveaway where you can choose the 5 out of 9 books for your prize PLUS tea and chocolates.
*I also have some other fab giveaways going on:
Enter to win a copy of Kat Martin's 'A Song For My Mother'-here
Enter to win a copy of Kristan Higgins' 'My One And Only'-here
And stay tuned for the rest of the Blogoversary celebration!
LOVE the new design! The blues are beautiful and the header looks straight out of a fairytale.
