QUICK, QUICK, QUICK....CLOSE YOUR EYES...

Now don't open them until I tell you!

Just listen first!

I have a new blog design.

I've been waiting and waiting and finally it's done and I love it. I hope you like it too but no peeking yet, OK?

Sharon over at Redbud designs made this for me and I think it is different and cool and fun and interesting and, and, and...

Well.... look, I'm just going to let you see it now.

When I count to three OPEN YOUR EYES!

OK! ONE!!!! TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ta Da! Isn't it cool?

See, there's even a blog archive index thing-y down there on the right. Wow.

OK, I am close to hyper-ventilating here. Must. find. brown. paper. bag. gasp.

OK, I'm back!

I hope you like it as much as I do. Out of breath again with excitement. Breathe, Jenny, breathe...

OK...and speaking of exciting things...

Ummm.... OK, this is a totally unnatural segue but...

Happy 29th Birthday Greg! We love you! And also...I'll be posting the next part of the surprise wedding later today.

After I get done admiring my new blog.

Thanks Sharon! Your patience and talent just amaze me.

And if you're thinking about re-designing your blog...get on her list now. She is the easiest and most wonderful person to work with.

Gosh! Look! See how cool it is?

OK, I'll stop now.

Sigh.

  26. I know your "Quick, close your eyes!" "But keep reading!" were just done for cuteness, but! I could DO it. 'Cause I read your post, on my Google Reader thingie.

    I read. But did not see the new blog look. Till I clicked and came here! So....... It worked, on me. :-)

    Lovely look, my Dear! Softly restful colors, and look, and all. I like that! I like softness and restful-ness. Some blogs kind of hit you in the eye! Bang! I don't like that. I prefer restful. :-))))

    .♥.♥.♥.♥.♥.♥.

  27. Oh! I love the new design! I imagine the typed messages that Henry Miller sent to Anais Nin would look something like this. And thanks for using clear type on a white background. I'm terribly nearsighted and my eyes are always fatigued. You're very kind.

  28. great new look and it totally goes with the alphabe-thursday/teacher thing you've got going on :D

  29. It's beautiful ! I like it a lot . It's probably one of the better ones that I've ever seen . How lucky you are ! A new up-do and a blog makeover? get out :)! It's fabulous hon. I am guessing it cost a pretty penny .

  30. I read you on Bloglines so I was coming to give you crap about the new designs (and how I'll never see it since I read you on Bloglines...) but then... I had to come to post my rant and wouldn't you know it, I am lovin' the new design... It's just too spiffy...how fancy of you to have your name on the background there, Missy! Gotta say, I might just leave more comments now just to come and see the "fanciness". LOL!

  31. Jenny your new blog design is the bee's knees! Really. really cool! I think it is the most unique design I've seen.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
