Well, here it is. I wanted to keep the current background style, but jazz things up a little. And I have not one, but THREE winners! See, I can’t choose just one winner – there were so many good ideas, I had to combine a few.
First, we have Karen, who designed the adorable book image in the header.
Next, we have Sandra, who produced a beautiful template, of which I borrowed the hand-colored image of Cordy for the right side of the header. (I may come back to that template design when I’m ready to switch templates!)
Finally, Kristen supplied the tagline. She actually gave me quite a list of taglines, all of which I may rotate into use over time. (And truthfully, I may use the taglines from everyone else as well!)
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest. I appreciate all of the inspiration you provided me, and I would be happy to return the favor at any time. And to my winners, please e-mail me your address and shirt size (or child’s shirt size, if you’d prefer the Blog Fodder shirt for your child instead of the Woman, Daughter, Wife, Mommy, Blogger shirt for yourself).
(And another thanks to Her Bad Mother, who inspired Karen with the her comment about Cordy being a “warrior child” and prompting the title of the book image. How about I’ll buy you a drink at Blogher?)
I love it! Especially the scrapbook.
So cute! It looks great!
I love it, it is gorgeous!
By the way, I have a guest blogger today if you have time, stop by and give her a whirl!
LOVE IT. Fairy Tale Warrior Princess is exactly right.
And I’ll take that drink, and buy you one, too…;)
I’m loving it!
Superb. My favourite is the tag line. You should keep it. I love it!
Oh and maybe my computer is wonky today but I wanted to let you know that everything on your blog appears as underlined to me (using a Mac and accessing through Safari). It doesn’t happen on any other blogs today.
Nice new header! I like it a lot – it really popped out at me (in a good way) when I checked in this morning. And happy belated birthday – I’ve still been checking in on your blog nearly every day, but when I’ve got an armful of baby, I can’t type very well. ha ha!
I hope you’re having a great day, and hooray, it’s Friday! Sorry about the $20 wasted at the doctor’s – I hope Cordy’s really all better now, or at least still recovering well.
What’s the news with Aaron’s job – did I miss a post about that? Did he get the job?
Even though I’m not going to BlogHer, I’m so excited that you who will will be here soon! Wahoo! I hope I get to see a bunch of you at our house. Looks like we’ll still be in San Jose then, since we haven’t done a single thing about moving a bit North except talk about it, so I’ll only be about a 10 minute drive probably from where you’re all staying. Yay!
I like it a lot!
Hey ~ I think it looks great. I love warrior princess. I was thinking today how it seems like we’re all raising lovely STRONG women.
Anyway, I’ll take a drink at blogher, how’s that? 🙂 And chances are, I’ll be returning the favor since it’s a belated b-day celebration anyway, right?
Love the new header – I’m so glad you worked Cordy’s name into it.
I love it! It’s really awesome!
