New Blog Design. Yay! Also, let's do a giveaway!

That only took like all weekend.... (well, in between the social engagements and relaxing and all..) I'm really really happy with it. It really feels more "me."It certainly was time to update the design and now there are a bunch of cool new features for my lovely readers.

Here's a meta-photo for all my peeps on Google Reader:

I also re-did the banners and formatting for my portfolio and tutorials site.

I thought you might like to see some of my old banners. Makes me feel all nostalgic. Also, really easy to see how much my photoshop and blog hacking skills have improved. ;)

Biiig plans for the tutorial site this Fall. I want to get some actual classes (with kits, hopefully) up there, probably Octoberish. Also plans to restock the Etsy for the Holidays. Also going to do more pendants and some stamp designs that I have been twiddling with. My business plan for CoffeeGirl Crafts is going to kick into high gear at end of Summer. At least, that's what the plan is.

Anyway, about the blog! I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Questions, comments and criticism are all welcome. Especially questions. I like those. :)

In fact... If you leave a comment on THIS post by Wednesday July 15th I will draw a random person who will receive their choice of either blog design work or a physical goodie bag.

Happy happy weekend!
