| I was thinking this kind of Make-over, but I got this one instead! |
You know all those makeovers they do on television like on Oprah where someone comes on looking all frumpy and sallow and they take her backstage and put on fabulous makeup and the perfect outfit and she comes out looking like Sandra Bullock or Whitney Houston or Paula Deen? You know those makeovers that we all
Well the makeover and the button were all done by my friend Madame Samm at Sew I Quilt, which is her personal blog and is a real day brightener to read. You should go there and follow her because, trust me, it's worth the read every time she posts. She also manages Stash Manicure, where she schedules 6 guest post-ers (post people?) every week who give tips and advice on managing and using all that fabric we're addicted to. You should follow there too because you don't want to miss a day "on a accident" as my grandson would say. :) When you visit her tell her I said hi - she'll love that. Even though she's a computer whiz..and I'm not, and even though she's tiny and petite..and I'm not, and even though she can still multitask..and I can't, (yes I'm jealous!) and even though she's in Canada and I'm in a different place, she's one of the blog friends I've made (and many of you know you are in this category too) that I hold in my heart and who makes me smile when I think of her. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her sense of humor touches my funny bone. Thank you Madame Samm...I love the blog and you, not necessarily in that order.
And yes, that picture in my header is really my view on these fall mornings. I am truly blessed.

I love your new blogover. I like the steam under your name...how did Samm do that? She is so talented and I start off my day visiting her blog and also checking out Stash Manicure.

I do like your new look! I still haven't found the perfect "me" look for my blog yet but it's getting there.

Your new 'do' is wonderful! It just makes me smile and wish I could sit there with you and have a good, long chat.

Yes indeed, this is one makeover that will not only last more than a day but give pleasure to others. I enjoy every visit as though I were sitting before that view chatting with a dear friend.
Isn't it grand to have brilliant blogger buddy? I've lost count on all the times Liz from quilterie has come to my rescue, patiently explaining the process for this or that.
It is a gorgeous, serene blog layout, Marlene!
With that view, stress doesn't have a chance to grow. Really nice job she did but it took your photo to make it perfect.
The only thing I miss from your "frumpy" blog is the list of friends who follow your blog. I really enjoyed linking to and reading some of their blogs.
what a great makeover...koodos to you Samm also, but hey Stitching by the Lake - your image is stunning..I wouldn't change this view for the world :)
Congrats on the beautiful new makeover :)
