One of the things I love most about blogging is the strong community of women I’ve met. I’ve had the privilege of connecting with and collaborating alongside so many talented people in blogland. With the challenges of today’s economy, there’s no better time to support one another and build each other up. That’s where blogging becomes real life, and I truly love that.
Everyone brings something unique to the blogging world — even you as a reader. Whether you share ideas and experiences, offer skills or services, or simply encourage others, I appreciate the role each of you plays in making this community what it is.
We’re in this together, and I’m honored to be part of this wonderful network with all of you.
One amazing person I’ve recently connected with is Emily, creator of Little Window Shoppe and Emily June Designs. What a delightful and creative presence she is—her family is absolutely charming.

If you haven’t visited her sites yet, I hope you’ll take a look. Little Window Shoppe is a joyful, inspiring space filled with creative ideas and beautiful small shops that make you smile.
Along with her creativity and generous support of other bloggers, Emily is a talented blog designer. If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your blog for spring, here’s a great opportunity.
Emily is offering one lucky reader a Simple Blog Design as part of today’s giveaway!
What a lovely prize.
Here’s what the giveaway can include, depending on the winner’s preferences:

A Simple Blog Design
Emily can work with WordPress or Blogger, offering two- or three-column layouts (one or two sidebars), optional horizontal navigation, coordinated sidebar graphics and titles, background and header design, favicon, post divider, and a blog button.
If your blog feels a little dated or you’ve been waiting to start your own blog, this could be the perfect chance to get a fresh, professional look.
Please leave a comment on this post explaining why you’d like a blog makeover or a brand-new blog design.
A winner will be chosen at random on Sunday night and announced next week!
See Emily’s portfolio to browse her past work and imagine possibilities for your own blog makeover. And be sure to introduce yourself when you visit her blog!
Good luck to everyone, and thank you, Emily, for this generous giveaway!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR ENTERING! THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED THE WEEK OF APRIL 23.
