News: Blog Designs + Giveaway Winner

June 1, 2010

Posted 09/12

I had the priviledge of working with Alli of One Pearl Button for her blog makeover:) My favorite part of the design process is working with the blogger to achieve a look that matches their style and content of the blog. Alli is such a lovely person and her blog is full of craftiness and inspiration…Take a look!

A friend of mine asked me to help her start a blog for a non-profit organization called Birthday Cakes 4 Free. There are chapters nationwide. I was so happy to be able to help this cause in a small way. I am excited to see how many lives this program will touch! Still tweaking some details here, but be the first to view the blog launch:)….

Lastly….to announce the GIVEAWAY WINNER!! Via Random.org:

#6 – MICHELLE!
