Come on in and sit down with me, I have a Blog Story to share with you - while it involves Change, it has a beautiful Fairy Blog Mother involved, too! Have you noticed the changes I've been making throughout the month of January, here on my Blog? I created my Banner and everything you see...all the little "pretties" and all! And now, I'm finally finished. I'm not one...
for "settling" until everything feels right and comfy to me. Do you do that too? It's kind of like fluffling the pillows on the sofa!!

Besides the big name change that came on New Years Eve...from The Comfort of a Safe Place to Jan's Place...I've done alot of editing and rearranging. So, I thought I would share some things with you today.
I hope you all know Linda from Life and Linda - if you don't, stop by and visit her. She is full of great Blog information, beautiful Tablescapes and Decorating Ideas too...plus alot more.
The home of the Bestest Fairy Blog Mother of them all - LINDA!
I haven't had Linda re-do my Blog...or even make me a Banner...but I love her work and think very highly of all that she does...I just LOVE doing my own. But Linda helped me with a huge problem. I got my blog all set up - new Banner and everything in place, but I couldn't get the Date or Comments or labels onto my individual posts and I really worked at correcting it...then finally shouted out to Linda. The Fairy Blog Mother came to my rescue. Thanks Linda! In no time she had it all working again.
She does wonderful work. She also designs blogs! Some of the most popular Blogs that I visit, have Blog "outfits", designed by her. Stop by and check it out.

While she worked on my Blog problem, she left me with an extra little something - {originally called "Sitemap"}, which I have renamed ARCHIVES.

ReplyDeleteThat picture makes me want to sit down by the crackling fire in one of those wing chairs! And what a nice Fairy Blog mother you have! I've seen Linda's work in other blogs and love the touches she brings. In fact she's also a super lady too!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with all your new capabilities.
Linda is just the sweetest :) What a blessing to have her help you, my friend. Your blog looks beautiful and I love the classy rich colors.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, dear one!
Hi Jan, your blog looks beautiful and Linda is wonderfully talented and such a special lady. She is ready to help and always a blessing. She helped me with my dot com and made it look easy. I would go to her for any blog questions and helps. She really is the best. Great post Jan.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great week ahead.

Your blog is so beautiful and calming, Jan. Linda really did a lovely job :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten that far, because I'm trying to go slowly after the last blog, but maybe soon I'll do something. We'll see ;)
