Of course I didn’t take a screenshot of the before, but here is my previous header.

and my previous share images…

I got rid of all my shop flash widgets, changed theme colours, etc. I’m hoping to eventually create my own original share icons again, but for now these will do.

I never did get around to retaking my packaging photo, as discussed in my last post comments, but I will! Hubby is home ill so I’ve been tending to him – that is my excuse!

And if you’d like to see even further back, you can check out this old post.

I have a whole new appreciation for web/graphic designers.  I wish I could afford a professional, but alas, it’s just me.

Thoughts?

“The company started with the belief that great design should be easy to find, and great designers should receive support for all the wonderful things they create.”

I agree, they should!  And this site does a wonderful job of it.

I am happy to now be a part of  Fey Handmade as well.    Go have a look!

And be prepared to get happily lost in there for a bit.

Now, I am all about sales and promoting sales. BUT, I don’t know how shophandmade can make the claim that they are the first ever handmade site to offer a sale. Dawanda has sales often, in fact, they are having one right now! Which I just posted about , um, yesterday. Am I being fussy?

Of course, I’m not trying to deter anyone from partaking in this sale. Please, go shop! I just thought it should be pointed out. Share the love.
