It's finally here...A new look and giveaway!

So if you couldn't tell by my title...I am a little EXCITED! I finally get to show you all my new look for my blog! What do you all think? I know that I am absolutely in LOVE with it! You can tell when I am excited...I start using lots of exclamation's!

I have been working with Traci from Sweet Cheeky Designs for the last couple of months, trying to get the exact idea and look that I have envisioned. Still working out a couple of things on my links at the top, but will have those up and running soon! What an incredible blog designer Traci is! Not only incredible, but lots of patience too! I am the first to admit...I am one picky, perfectionist! So grateful she has lots of patience and she showed me it was just as important to her to make sure I was happy with everything. I am sure she is just a little relieved to have it done and be everything that I wanted! lol.If you are looking for a new look or makeover, she definitely is the one you want! I feel so blessed to have had her work on my blog and have a new friendship as well! Thank you Traci! I love it!

Don't you all just love that about blogging? Not only is a blog a great way to share your inner thoughts and creative ideas with whoever is interested, but along the way you get to meet some wonderful people and have friendships all over the world! Truly amazing!

Speaking of amazing...it is also finally time to reveal my GIVEAWAY!! I wanted to have my first Giveaway to celebrate my new look! I am feeling generous and not only wanted to give one, but two Whimsy items away! I hope you all are going to love the Signature Whimsy bag~The Birdie Bag and the second item a very cute, yummy cupcake pincushion! I have worked very hard to make sure not a detail was forgotten and that you all would love both of these as much as I do!
