So? How do you like my new digs??? There’s still a little housecleaning that I need to do over the next few days but it’s minor stuff. First of all, I can’t say THANKS enough to RENEE at Renee Rodriquez Designs who designed my new HEADER. Isn’t it FANTASTIC? She did a great job and was just wonderful to work with. I first discovered her blog awhile ago and then we actually ended up in Holly’s “Blogging Your Way” e-class. And that’s where I discovered that she did header designs! Once I found that out, I emailed her right away and begged her to work with me. It was a pure joy on my part to work with her. I think the results speak for themselves!
Because I couldn’t use the other theme with my fabulous new header, I decided to change it up and went with this three column one. Renee and I had discussed the possibility of switching ads someday and hopefully someday I can open it up to other advertisers. So if you or anyone else you know may want to advertise on here, please let me know.
Last, but not least, some more very exciting news, I am doing a GRAND RE-OPENING of my ETSY shop. Renee was sweet enough to do a new header for my shop and I have done a ton of new product shots to change things up. Some things I learned from Holly and Leslie in our class. The shop hasn’t really been open in awhile, so there will be some new pieces in there starting today and I will be adding pieces throughout the next couple of weeks. And the GOOD NEWS for YOU, is there is a SALE and GIVEAWAY!!!! So here’s the scoop:
SALE:
There’s going to be a 10% off sale for normal customers this week BUT for MY readers and BYW classmates, YOU get 20% off! Just leave me a comment when you purchase the item(s) that you are a ChicGeek reader.
GIVEAWAY:
All you have to do is leave a comment here sometime this week and let me know what prize you would prefer. You’ll have 4 options. I’m feeling very generous!! 
I’ll tell you the options in a minute. IF you tweet about this Giveway OR post about it and LEAVE me another message telling me you did, I’ll enter you in for another chance. HOW COOL IS THAT? All entries must be in by Friday and the Drawing will be held on Monday!
Okay, so the prizes are:
1. Three of my favorite Hydrangea Shots – One in Purple, One in Blue, One in White. All 5×7 and printed with a Glossy Metallic Finish.
* Please note, the watermarks will not come with the prints.
2. 4 Orchid 5×7 Blank Notecards printed in Glossy
3. 4 Rose 5×7 Blank Notecards printed in Glossy
4. 4 Misc 5×7 Blank Notecards printed in Glossy
I’m very excited about everything and hope this means that I’m turning a new leaf in the blogging world and in the Etsy world! And if I seem a little more loopy than usual, it’s because it’s really really really really late. I just wanted to get this all done and right for today. 
I hope you all enjoy. Please leave all good and any constructive criticism. I always need to improve! Thanks!

[...] It was a cold, dreary, and rainy day and it took me an hour and a half to get home. I couldn’t wait to get home in a warm and cozy apartment. I finally got home and I walked by the mail and I saw I had a package and quickly picked it up. I didn’t order anything. I saw that it was from Lori from Chic Geek Designs and smiled. It was my notecards that I won from her giveaway. [...]
