blog makeover
Have you noticed my new look?
I know you have because you have left so many nice comments.
Isn't it fabulous?
When Cora was in the hospital Judy contacted me about Danielle giving my blog a makeover. At the time I was too overwhelmed to even think about changing my blog. But several months later after many people suggesting that I should get a blog makeover, {hint, hint} I decided to see if Danielle was still interested in helping me.
Danielle is the very talented lady who is responsible for my new look. My favorite part is the rotating photo header. Love it!
Not only does Danielle do blog makeovers, but she also has a new shop at Polka Dot Plum. She has some great digital kits for all the scrapbookers out there.

Jess, while I'd love a new look for my blog, I'd rather share a random thought that I have every time I stop by here: the photo of Cora in the swing looks SO like your husband! She is such an image of you with her sweet, little face but I'm sure that one must really warm his heart.
CanNOT wait to see what your new little one looks like - and I continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy and further healing for your precious heart. Your blog has meant bunches to me this year.
love the new look! and would love a new look myself! :)
I'm following Danielle's design blog now. (BTW, thank you so much for the intro. She's got some great stuff over there.)
XO*Tricia
Your blog looks FANTASTIC!

My favorite kit at Polka Dot Plum is "Beautiful Mess". I think that pretty much describes my life to a "T".
Thanks again for the opportunity. How fun!
With love and prayers,
XO*Tricia

Jess,
You are doing a fantastic job. My heart aches for your family, knowing somewhat of what you have been through. It never seems to get any easier after you lose a child. I have just found ways to cope and that helps. I too have been trying to find ways to keep myself busy/a reason to get up and out of bed each day.
You have done such a wonderful job with Cora's playground and all that you are doing in honor of Cora.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Blessings,
Tiffany

Hi Jess. I have followed you since hearing of precious Cora's illness. I had your Cora's playground button, but have added "The Macs" as well. It's precious. The new look is perfect.
I added Danielle's blog to my follower list. Regardless if I win your contest or not, I'll probably just pay for a blog make over. My blog is quite boring despite my cute little ones. It could use a little pizzaz! Thanks for sharing your story.
Love the Blog, simple and crisp!
Visited the Polka Dot Plum, and I love the vintage kitchen. The colors are adorable.
Have the blog button!!
I am now a follower of the Design Girl Blog.
Thanks for the contest!!
Okay, I went to Danielle's site and my favorite was a toss up between Funky Chic and Shabby Elegance...I think I'll choose Funky Chic. It was hard to pick!
ohoh! me too! love it!
the blog looks fantastic and so do you. continued prayers for you and your family!
Ooo...I'd love a blog makeover! I've admired yours plenty for sure.
