“Just because everything is different doesn’t mean anything has changed.” -Irene Peter
Remember that post I did on change a few weeks ago? This might be a good time to read it again. {wink}. It was simply time for a change. What you saw on the former design was lovely (I thought) but what it lacked were things that you could not see.
If you miss the old design, I at least hope you will be able to appreciate the searchable archives and the ease of use of this new one. Darcy has worked her little fingers down to the bone while I have asked for minutia with fonts and sizes and coloring. She is a gem wrapped up in gold topped with a cherry and sprinkled with magical fairy dust. And? Look what she made.
And for Tuesdays.
And for when you need reminding.
It’s not all the way finished, so check back when you can. I am so happy to have something that both looks pretty and works well. And to have Darcy. She is every bit as helpful as everyone says. And then, a little bit more.
It’s beautiful.

I love it!!! Absolutely love it. It’s elegant and easy to navigate and soothing on the eyes. Totally appropriate for you. I haven’t commented here in entirely too long but I wanted to extend the most heartfelt congratulations I could possibly extend for your book deal! I will be among the first in line to buy it, and if pre-orders are available, I am so there. You are gifted and a gift.
One more thing, and this may sound totally goofy… I have a smudge on my computer screen that totally looks like a very light beige feather quill. It goes right through the left portion of your blog title and it looked so neat. I thought, “How did she get that subtle quill in her title like that?” and then I scrolled and realized it was a smudge. But a purposeful one! Ha! Okay, now that I feel like a total dork…

If I was ever afraid of how readers were going to react, it was this time.
You all are terribly kind and make my heart pitter patter.
Emily, you are simply a joy. A breath of fresh air. The Real Deal. So glad I got to play a tiny role in this blog’s transformation. It was a true privilege.

I love the new look!!! Darcy is awesome! And change IS good. Blessings!
love your new look emily!
grabbed one of your gorgeous buttons
thank you xo
Love your new look here on the blog. I’ve only been an occasional “popper-in-er” before, but this new look is so inviting, clean and fresh. Makes me want to stay a while! I tend to leave blogs that don’t appeal to me visually (even if the writing is well done…how sad). I look forward to popping in much more often!
Blessings!
Linsey
