Three Things Thursday - 12/5

Super quick post this morning! Here are 3 things on my mind.

1) Did you notice my new blog design? I worked on it most of last weekend, and finally was able to get it all installed this morning. Which took me a bit longer than I'd anticipated. And the reason why this post has to be super quick. I still need to get ready for work!! Argh. BUT... what do you think? Jeff says it's a bit holiday-esque, but I like it. I'd love your feedback. :)

2) I'm having lunch with my boss this afternoon to discuss possibly changing my role at work. I'm so nervous about the possibility of change, BUT I don't want to hold myself back out of fear either.

3) Katie flies in today!! I'm incredibly excited to finally meet her in person. We're going to check out the Strip tonight and tomorrow we head to Mesquite for Saturday's marathon. You didn't really expect me not to mention the marathon, did you? Safe travels, Katie!! See you soon.

There's a 4th thing on my mind today, too. I posted about it last night, but in case you missed it, go check it out. Hint: It's fricken cold outside!!

What's going on with you today?

What I've been up to...

I know you've all been waiting on the edge of your seats wondering about this mysterious project of mine.

Well, it all started a few months ago, when I last gave my blog a make-over. Katie at From Ice Cream to Marathon She just finished her first marathon. Yay! complimented me on the design and somehow that planted a little seed.

Why not branch out and design other people's blogs, too?

I brought it up to Jeff, and he was on board right away. Unfortunately, like many of our brilliant plans, it just sat there.

Until I saw this on my Twitter feed.

Know of an affordable blog designer? I want to change up my look. I love @in_munchkinland, but she's got a super long list ahead of me! :)

I got super excited and asked Jeff if he was ready to jump in with both feet. He was, so we offered Tyly an amazing deal for letting us cut our teeth designing her blog.

We took a few days at the beginning to decide on a name and figure out some things on our end, but exactly two weeks from our first email exchange, Tyly had her new blog design installed on her Blogger blog.

Click on the picture to check out her blog and see the full design. :)

We're so happy with how the design turned out, but even more important than that, TYLY LOVES IT!!

Jeff and I had so much fun working on this together and are excited for our next project, sooooo if you're in the market for a new look on your Blogger blog, please consider...

We still have a lot of planning to do to get where we want, but now we're both confident that we can design blogs that others will love.

We're super excited about this. Please feel free to tell your friends. :)
