I'll be back in a bit with my SFYTT, but first, I have to ask: what do you think of my new 'do?! I LOVE IT!!! Sara Williams, of Tweaks & Designs/MFT Presents fame did it, and totally captured the look and feel I was shooting for with very little input from me. I love it when someone can read my mind and give me exactly what I want!!! If only I could bottle that quality and serve it to my husband for breakfast, lunch and dinner! ;)
Anyway, my newfound fabulousness is making me feel generous. How 'bout some Blog Bon-Bons to celebrate?! Leave me a comment on this post and I'll pick a random winner next Wednesday. I've got a ton of never-been-used stamps sets that need a loving home; I'm sure I can round up at least $100 worth of great stuff. I'll do that and amend this post with a photo later.
Be sure to check out my cool new siggy! For the next week, just pretend the contents are Master Cleanse 'lemonade'... And don't forget to look at the bottom of the page -- it's like I've perpetually got Little Edie saluting me in her revolutionary costume for today!
It's official: my blog has died and gone to heaven!
This is ROCKIN'!!!

#1) I love your blog-over - so 60's. Not that I would have first hand experience with the 60's or anything.
#2) Little Edie is SO you!
#3) I adore your new signature.

Thanks for a chance to win!

Your blog looks REALLY cool! I love it! I have blog envy! My "decorations" suck (AKA I have NONE). *sigh*
Posted by: Jody Morrow | May 23, 2009 at 11:41 PM

Posted by: Karen Sullivan | May 24, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Super new blog graphics! Love the colors and the feel of it -- especially your siggy!
Posted by: Chandra Hough | May 24, 2009 at 06:35 AM
Carole, your blog is on my daily sweep and I must say that I noticed the change right away. My first thought was, "this is so Carole". I love it! It captures the silliness I have come to expect from your posts. I especially love your martini signature. My son is techy and I was thinking how can he help me do something as neat as that on my blog?
Posted by: Cathy Groden | May 24, 2009 at 08:00 AM
I love your new look. Very unique.
Posted by: Sheri Z. | May 24, 2009 at 08:36 AM
love, love LOVE the blog 'do :) seems to fit your style!
good luck with the cleanse, too!
Posted by: Cat | May 24, 2009 at 08:37 AM
Love love love your new cyber-home!! Sara did the tweaks and signature on mine too and she is the ABSOLUTE BEST!
Thanks for the opportunity to win too! I always love visiting your blog - I know it'll be full of humor as well as inspiration!
Posted by: Vickilyn | May 24, 2009 at 09:06 AM
She did an awesome job Carole.
Posted by: Bonnie aka raduse | May 24, 2009 at 09:43 AM
I love the new layout!!! Very retro cool :)
Posted by: Maria | May 24, 2009 at 10:14 AM
Very cool blogover! It is the Carole that I have come to know over months of blog-stalking. Only one thing I find a bit hard to believe. I really can't see you spilling the contents of a martini glass to form your signature or otherwise! Great new look.
Posted by: laurie hunt | May 24, 2009 at 10:16 AM
Soooooooooo kewl! LOVE what you've done with the place! And your siggy is perfection! I'm soooooooo jealous .... now I have to hate you. LOL, I kid!! But it does look fantabulous ovuh here!
Posted by: Deb Neerman | May 24, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Funky and fun new look, Carole. . .love it! I'm so excited to hear about the cleansing routine you're going through right now, too.
