Updates, Changes, and Something New

1. Something New

Have you seen my new blog design? Isn't it beautiful?!

The amazing Olivia Collins designed it for me. She is such a talented young lady with a beautiful portfolio of work. She also has a fabulous blog of her own. 

I love her philosophy on blog design:

Vintage chic charm mixed with modern minimalism characterizes my designs. I like things to be clean and open, soft and sweet.

I would absolutely recommend her if you're looking for a new look. She's professional, quick, easy to work with, and really understands what you're looking for.

She also has a $30 off sale going on right now!

My last blog design was created by her as well. Yes, my first design was part of a product review, but I loved her so much, I went back (with my own $$) and had her create something new.

*love*

2. An Update

I'm so sorry that my weekly crafty party has been on hiatus. You've probably gotten so tired of coming here on Saturdays and not seeing a party that you've given up. But come back! 

I'm going to start up Saturday is Crafty Day again next Saturday, August 27. I'd love to see you!

3. And A Change

I am changing up how I do giveaways. I will only be doing individual giveaways for super special occasions. Instead I will now be doing group giveaways twice per month. 

A few reasons. Giveaways here haven't been as popular lately. That's definitely in part my fault! I'm just not as good as I used to be at posting/promoting/announcing as I should be. I also think there's been lots more large-scale giveaways on other blogs that single shops/items just aren't looking that attractive. 

I want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck!

If you're interested in being included in my bi-monthly giveaway features, please let me know. 

[Group giveaways are limited to ten shops per giveaway (sponsors will be given first priority to spots). I will post all ten items in one large post. I will ask people to leave a comment to enter (with extra comments if they spread the news about the giveaway). I will pick one winner per item and email the shop and winner to work out the details.]

I'm sorry if that's like way too many details. Just trying to get (and stay) organized.

I hope you're doing well! Can't wait to spend some more time here and reconnect with you all!
