Our new look thanks to Penny Lane Design {Custom Blog Makeover Giveaway Jun 7 - Jun 13}

How do you like our new look?
I am LOVING it.

I really had wanted to change our look at our one year anniversary but I thought coming back after my renewal vacation that a change would be nice.
Once I was committed to the change, I knew exactly who I wanted to give us our new look.

Marina does some amazing work and having worked with her before I knew how pleasurable the experience would be. And she did not disappoint.
I was able to send her our new family pictures and give her a couple of ideas towards the direction I was looking for. And she did her magic.

Here is a glimpse at some of her other works...

I have had the honor of hosting a Penny Lane Design giveaway before {check out the winner of the custom blog design Steals, Deals, & Heels.}

And now I get another opportunity to share Penny Lane with one of you!
One lucky follower will get a custom blog makeover {valued at $100!!!}
Here is what is included:
- Blog Makeover
