Sunday Salon | A facelift and a giveaway

Hello Saloners, it’s a lovely sunny day here so thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Its been a busy week; I’ve started a new job so haven’t had much time for reading unfortunately – but I have managed to finish up 26a and start The we Came to the End – so all is not lost :)

I spent most of yesterday trying to find a new wordpress theme for my Disney World planning site and nearly drove myself crazy – then today, thanks to the Salon, I find that Danica was also giving her site a facelift and recommended a great site where I picked up this new template – and added it to my other site too. I still need to do some tweaking – but I’m very happy with my new homes!

  • Yesterday was the first Weekly Geeks challenge – and I discovered 5 new bloggers – stop by yesterday’s post to see who they were
  • This week I finished reading 26a by Diana Evans – I’ve decided to raffle off my copy of the book – so if you haven’t entered already be sure to stop by the review and post a comment – closing date is April 31

And now I must leave you as I’m developing a headache and don’t want it to spoil my Sunday – need to step away from the computer! Do stay a while and explore – and I look forward to seeing y’all next Sunday.

    Hooray more positive votes for the new look :)

    @Ravenous Reader – Disney World is my home away from home too! Unfortunately we don’t have another trip planned until November 09 (we’re taking a year off!) but I write a blog about trip planning so I don’t get too homesick ;)

  2. I like your new template! Did I read you’re planning a trip to Disney World? That’s my home away from home :)

    Hey girls – thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you like the new theme – although for some reason it doesn’t know I’m me when I try to leave a comment! Very odd!

    Danica – I did love those cute little pics – I’m sure you could figure it out if you had a play :)

  7. I love the new theme! It’s cute and simple. I hope you have a great week.

    is this not the cutest theme ever? i love the ladybug!
    my favorite is the one she’s using, which i guess is a modification of one of her themes. I spent some time trying to get mine to look like hers, but then I got frustrated and found one that worked better for me. but someday I expect I will get the one up that has teeny adorable photos in it!

    Hope you get to feeling better. I’m the opposite. I get headaches if I am away from the computer too long.

    26a is high on my reading list so I must pop by your review and see what you thought of it.
