Thanks for the Make-Over!

 
Dear crafty friends...
TA-DAH!

What do you think of the new look of my blog?
I've been thinking about having a personalized blog-header for quite some time, and contacted a couple of people who advertise that kind of work on their blog, with no reponse.

Then I "found" the multi-talented Jen Nelson, through the "Seize the Sketch" blog.
She is one of those very productive people who make Clean-and-Simple an art-form.
She dabbles in blog design, we emailed back and forth a bit to discuss colours and design elements,
Inspired by the colours of my favorite place to be...
and in a mere couple of weeks,
she had created and refined this new blog-header and accoutrements.

Here is my attempt at a Jen Nelson-style card, to thank her.
Seize the Sketch #6
Please pop by Jen's blog, The Tiny Blue Butterfly, and leave her some love.

 To further celebrate, I thought I'd offer a little blog candy, to help with your Christmas crafting:

Leave a comment on this post, and stop by Jen's blog to comment, within the next week. I'll do a random drawing for  this stamp set on Saturday, October 26th, for those who commented at both places.

Happy Crafting!
Caroline
