Please Stop by My New Blog

I have set up a new blog devoted to another project I am undertaking...

                                flossingmyblessings.blogspot.com

I will be making 100 one inch squares of embroidery depicting 100 things for which I feel blessed. This is an “I’m Stitchingalong” project, and there are participants from around the world.  It is going to be a real learning experience for me doing embroidery after so many years, and it will give me lots of time to reflect on all the blessings I have received in my life. Go to the Counting My Blessings site to read more about what we are all doing. If you like the background, please go to Aqua Poppy Designs to see more of Chelsea’s free backgrounds.

My New Blog Design

For months I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to make my blog original and REALLY my own. I played around with different templets on Blogger, but nothing really had the spark I wanted. I tried downloading some free templets I found online, but those, too, did not feel right. Finally, I decided to return to the site I found earlier and thought was the most creative and appealing of all I’d researched... Aqua Poppy Designs, and the designer is Chelsea Stevenson. She offers many wonderful and free designs to be used with the Blogger Minima templet, but she also gives you the option of special design packages in all price ranges which she will create for you. This is what I finally decided to do, and it was the best decision I have made since I first decided to have my own blog. Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. I came up with the basic colors and overall feeling I wanted to invoke, and she took it from there. Her wait time was about two weeks, but once my name got to the head of the queue it took about a week to complete. We’d email back and forth, and she tweaked things until I finally felt we had exactly what I wanted. She answered all of my many questions and helped me with my decision making. It was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend her to anyone wanting an extremely talented and creative person to help design your one-of-a-kind personalized blog. I did not have the computer background skills to do it myself, but she did. I am so happy with the end product, and should I want to make changes in the future, I will go right back to her. Visit Chelsea’s site and study her designs and options. Her prices are certainly fair and well worth your investment. She was wonderful, and I am a very happy, satisfied customer.
