A little redesign and a big giveaway!

I needed a little cheering up and decided to get a facelift.

But since I couldn't afford a facelift to tighten up the old crows feet and smooth out the laugh lines, I decided for the next best thing. 

I got a bloglift.

If you are viewing in a reader, come on over and check out the new space. 

The changes are subtle.  I told Danielle Burkleo, blog designer extraordinaire, that I wanted a lot of white space and I wanted it to look fresh and clean.  I think she did a fabulous job!

I also wanted a navigation bar.  The main reason for this was so that all the posts I've written about Rebecca will be in one place and will be easy to get to.  (I did this mostly for me but I hope it will be beneficial to others as well.)

And I finally have some spiffy social media icons.  So please feel free to like me all over the internets.

To celebrate my fresh new space, I'm giving away one copy of Jennifer Fulwiler's Something Other Than God

I finally got my copy and I plan to read it this Friday while I'm waiting on Dan to get a colonoscopy.

I would love to get a picture of Dan reading it while he's getting his colonoscopy because I'm sure that would win Jennifer's contest for "Most Epic Selfie While Reading #SOTG".  However, he will hopefully be out like a light and my husband doesn't do selfies.  And even if he did...

And if winner of  this little contest already has a copy of the book, I will give you a $20 gift card to Amazon instead.

Thanks for checking out the new blog design and for reading what I write here every day. 

Good luck!  The winner will be chosen randomly from all eligible entries on May 14th.

I'd love to read the book and pass it on afterwards! I do wish publishers would allow these books to come out in paperback initially - I would have bought one already. I hate paying money for a hardcover, especially since reading them is hard on my wrists. And, I don't know, paperback seems so much more friendly.

The new blog look is gorgeous!!

I love your blog lift. It is indeed clean and the navigation bar is a perfect addition. A new book for a "new" blog sounds wonderful, too. Sounds like a good read.
