OK, so I haven’t been posting the last couple of weeks. Ever since I started this blog, it hasn’t felt right. Hasn’t felt like…me. So I took a little break from posting and put some of my web design skills to use on myself for a change. I’m still cleaning up some of the rubble, but now it feels more like a home. I hope you like the new look.
If you’ll notice to the right, I’ve also created a blogging schedule. I’m trying this out, hoping it will give the blog a little structure. That being said, I’m kind of a seat-of-my-pants girl, so I might end up trashing it and just doing whatever floats my biscuit. We’ll just have to see.
Tomorrow I’ll start the schedule. Today, I give away awards! Huzzah!
A while back, I received the One Lovely Blog Award from Megan Frances at On Beyond Words and Pictures. THANK YOU! According to the rules of the award, I’m now passing it along to some of my favorite, newly discovered blogs. Here they are. Check them out. Some of them are writing blogs. Some are art blogs. All of them are lovely and inspiring places.
Thanks, Megan!

Your new layout is very clean and cool. I like the large image to the left and the near transparency of the petals. Quite ethereal in the way only nature can manage. Nice work (and it is work, isn’t it, designing something so simple!)
And..
Thank you for giving me a blog award Amy. I’m always astonished to find people read my bits and bobs, even more so if they like them so this is a lovely thing!
Wow! Thanks for the award, that’s lovely of you. I’ll be sure to pass it on to some of my favourite bloggers soon, and I’m looking forward to discovering the others on your list too. Merci!
Wow, thank you so much Amy! I’m writing the post at this very moment, and I expect to put it on line in the next two weeks. This is a very generous award, love it!
As to your blog’s new look, it’s fantastic! I’m glad you decided to put your skills at use for yourself. Your blog is very clean and the flowery theme is beautiful and inspiring. I hope you’ll feel inspired to write a bunch now that you have a cool place to post your stuff.
I’d feel discouraged too if I didn’t like the looks of my own blog. Kudos on the change! Can’t wait to see what’s coming up, heh.
Thank you for the award nomination, and for your kind words. I look forward to exploring your site and following the other links in this entry.
