A question and a giveaway!

I have tons to tell you all about, but for right now I would like to concentrate on the changes around here on my blog. What do you all think? I have been trying to come up with a new 'face' for my blog for a while and this one seems to fit the best. I have been writing here for nearly 4 years with the same background and everything and that makes it really hard to change ANYTHING. But I love green. It is my very favorite color, and the soft details of this background seem to fit me and my personality best. I have contacted someone to make me something like this that is my own (unique and not free) and we will see where that goes, and how different I want to make it. But for now I could use some opinions.

I also have a giveaway in mind for right now.

These bowl covers I have made have worked out SO well that I would really like to share the love. I will give two custom covers to a randomly chosen commenter next Friday. All you have to do is leave me a comment... it could be about anything. What you think of the blog background, environmentally friendly living, Waldorf home education, gardening, cooking, etc... you name it! Just leave me some love and I will pick somebody to get these sweet washable covers (well, not these ones, ones that will fit YOUR bowls) sent to your door!

Happy Commenting!

i love the new look! it makes the pictures of your plants POP! the green against the brown is very nice. I used to have an apron with little strawberries on it that looked very much like that fabric except it had a greenish background. ADORABLE!

I love seeing a new post pop up on my blogroll - so many great ideas!

I learn things from your blog and try to incorporate them as much as I can in my own daily life.

so thanks :D

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog (and hopefully, a bowl cover). I love your ideas and am trying to figure out how to incorporate some of them into my life as a busy WOH mom. While some things simply aren't possible, a great many are and I hope to explore and find other ways to live simply while still having to WOH.

Thank you! you inspire me.

Blog looks great! So do the covers- it's a great idea and so much better than plastic wrap on my lidless bowls!

Val, I just love following your blogs! Do you know, I still have the card you sent me, the one that says "Worrying Does Not Empty Tomorrow of its Troubles, It Empties Today of its Strength"? Wise words.

Hi-

I've been gone on vacation and was just catching up on your posts. The new blog is BEAUTIFUL and fits you exactly.

I am glad that you are back to gardening. I missed the posts on your bounty when you were living at the last house.

Good luck with your roses. When we lived in Graham, WA, it was the first time that I had tried to grow roses. They did relatively well for me (and I think of myself as someone who has a brown thumb!).

Julia : )
