The Makeover...


It was would be remiss of me not to take some time today to thank Nap Warden for my makeover.

Our first attempt at working together in April was postponed when I was going through a tiny personal crisis.

I contacted her recently to beg her to try again, and she was incredible gracious, helpful, thoughtful, creative and just plain fabulous.


She paid close attention to what I liked, and like a fairy godmother used her wand and wove her magic.


Thank you, Nap. I feel like a new woman.



(Pssst. Go visit DaGoddess today. She has amazing shots up. p.s.)

(Oh, and another thing, I have to COMPLETELY re-do my blogroll ONE at a time on another page. I'll be working on this over the weekend. If I have forgotten you previously, please let me know!!! You know I don't like to be rude. p.s.s.)

I like how your followers are at the top with more space to show all of them. Very fun trick. The color theme is also very stylish. The shade of blue that you both picked is excellent.

Sorry... it is the teacher in me that needs to leave a detailed grade report for you!!! LOL

SkylersDad said...

I have heard that 3 columns are slimming, I may look into this.

I like the new look a lot!!! Very light and airy. And I really like the idea of the followers right up front. Very nice. How's the sty? It's going to take a little time actually.

The blog looks awesome.

Anna Whiston-Donaldson said...

Looks great!

What would a girl have to do to score a place on your blogroll?

Although I know beggars can't be choosers. I got my new look 3 months ago and haven't done my blogroll yet. L-A-Z-Y.

Char said...

Love, love, love the new look!

tracey.becker1@gmail.com said...

I love NapWarden. She's even nicer in person (from the 10 sentences we were able to exchange over the heads of 5 children in the aquarium...)

Hey. You're still doing that ps, pss thing. Didn't I tell you to nix that? ;)

That Janie Girl said...

Nap Warden is halfway through with my design, as well...and of course, she's waiting on photography from MOI.

Yup.

I love the new design - and that I made the blogroll.

Love ya chica...

♥ Braja said...

AND ABOUT TIME YOU CHANGED THE NAME TO VODKA MOM :))))

I Need a Martini Mom is one thing, but when you're as hot and famous as you, you gotta keep up with groove, girl....

Now Ms Smith of Oregon, where's my martini???

And by martini i mean vodka and Diet Pepsi...

Can you send that Fedex?

Melissa B. said...

Don't forget me! And I REALLY like your new "look." It's so "you"...plus, Sx3 could use a good dose of your creative humor tomorrow, so please stop by!

Wunderwoman said...

Nice, I like it!

The Mind of a Mom said...

I'm diggin' the new digs!

Joanie said...

Thanks for the shout out! It's been nice to actually get visitors to my neck of the woods again.

As for the new digs here, they're quite stylish and tres classy.

LegalMist said...

Ooh, so many changes. It is so sleek, and I love the blue (as you might be able to tell from my own site!)

I'll go update my blogroll to list "Vodkamom" instead of "I Need a Martini Mom" right now.

SweetPeaSurry said...

I ADORE the makeover!! Love Love Love it!

Cynthia said...

Hey girl...glad you're diggin' your new look...and name;)

I am loving the new look. Nice and clean with the perfect amount of white space. That's graphic designer speak for the layout rocks.
