Baby D's New Look (I mean, on the blog. I didn't give AG a sassy new makeover, or anything).

Do you ever stalk read blogs, and decide that if you lived in the same city as the blog author, you would definitely be friends?
Maybe you even occasionally start talking about this person in conversations with your husband, telling him about how so-and-so did/said the funniest/coolest/most thought-provoking thing today.

(And maybe when he figures out that this is a person you have never actually met, he looks at you like you’re a total creeper.)

NOT that I know about this from experience. Because I don’t.

Except that I do.

Anyway, I’ve been reading Melanie’s blog for awhile now, and thinking: this girl seems SO sweet and godly, and I want to be just like her.

(Now I sound creepy again, don’t I?)

So, about a month ago, Melanie offered a giveaway for a free custom blog design. (Because not only is she a busy mother of two, she finds time to do these fantabulous blog creations.  It would be sickening if she wasn't so awesome.).   I read about this giveaway, and decided, well yes.  Yes, I would like to win that. And against ALL of my normally un-winning odds, I actually won.

Let me just tell you that, now, after working with Melanie on this design, I am CERTAIN that we would be friends in real life. And not just in blog life. Because she reached into my brain and pulled out EXACTLY what I would have wanted, had I been creative enough to think of it on my own.

Which I obviously wasn’t.

Regardless, if you’re in the market for a new blog design, TALK TO MELANIE. Her designs are awesome, she is beyond sweet & fun to work with, and her prices are so affordable.

Thank you again, Melanie for the fantastic design! I loved getting to work with you on this!

Sherri,
You have no idea who I am but I am a total blog follower/ stalker of yours (totally not in the creepy way). I actually found your blog on my cousin, Amanda Jackson's (who you may not even know? could be another random) list of blogs she follows. I have a daughter, Jane, who is a little bit older than yours. Your posts are hilarious and I love how truthful/ funny you are about being a first time mom. You say what everyone else is thinking. Well, I just felt like I would say something since you totally called yourself and everyone else out. Thanks for the posts! Leigh Young in Charlotte, NC
P.S. I am sure this will come up as I am reading this early in the morning, which is even creepier, but I am pregnant again and can't sleep so why not follow/ stalk blogs?

Sherri...love the sassy new look! Very cute! I have been struggling with trying to update my blog look since I started it and had contacted 3 people already to try to help me (they were soooo expensive!). I emailed Melanie this weekend and she already had a test blog to me by Monday night! She's the best, thanks so much for sharing her info!!
