Notice anything different? 😉
I’ve been wanting a new blog layout/design for-ev-er, and last week I decided to finally make it happen. So I reached out to Jenny and voila! I wanted to keep things super clean and simple (and clearly similar to my last design), and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. If you’re in need of a blog redesign, I highly recommend Jenny. Girl knows what she’s doing and is great to work with. Check out her graphic design blog Peanut Butter & Jenny to contact her/learn more!
Anyway, I don’t have much else to say because I’m busy finishing up the new Speakable collection (check back for that tomorrow!), but I did want to leave you with this October Blogging Challenge I put together.
A ton of you seemed to love the September Blogging Challenge, and I had a handful of requests for an October Challenge. Unfortunately I won’t be participating this month just because I have some other things I want to focus on, but I would love to follow along with yours! So let me know if you decide to join 
**********
What are you most excited about for October?
love love love! <3
okay - let’s see if I can commit to at least 2 of these October challenges. I suck.
^^^ bahaha. whoops. I’ll stop trying to be you now
hahahaha! <3 <3
How did you make the “October Blogging Challenge”, what program did you use?
Love the new design! I’ve been thinking about redesigning mine a bit soon, so I may have to reach out to her.
thanks girl! you def should - she’s amazing to work with!
I am in love with the new design - beautiful! October, um everything?? But probably wrapping a huge event on Saturday then leaving Sunday for a 10 day road trip in the Canadian Rockies and West Coast.

Oh and I meant to ask; what is Transformation Tuesday?
Hey Beth! It’s open to interpretation, but basically showing a way in which you have changed/transformed
