i just won the lottery.

I most def believe in luck. I won a Lord of the rings in grade 8, a radio cooler from a convenience store promotion contest (gotta love reddi mart!) I won $400 from a radio station pay your bills contest and $80 from the slot machines at the vegas airport! (the only time I gambled in vegas basically) but tonight I won the lottery. I mean just LOOK at my blog!!! Ever since I started this blog I've basically felt like a sell out. Don't get me wrong I loooooove blogging and photography and especially all my readers BUT I've felt like every other tom, dick and harry with a camera and a blogspot blog. I worked and worked to improve my photography which I'm now FINALLY a bit happy with but still felt soooo ordinary. Which is really bad for creativity's sake. So. I finally made a decision. I needed to revamp my blog/site and branding.

I had a few options I hummed and hawed over.

Should I get a show-it site? Nah, I didn't want to pay a monthly fee & then have to waste my time trying to design something that just wasn't cute. I also didn't have three to five grand sitting in the bank to pay a web designer for help either.

Should I get a blu domain website? I just couldn't commit to any template. This still didn't solve my problem of feeling like every other photog out there. Too plain jane and just didn't reflect me or my style.

IN COMES MY AMAZING SISTER to the story. I finally found a designer who could fix all my problems. She was closer to my price range and everything. Problem was she was booked til sept with a waiting list fee and a hefty revamp fee also. She was also going to put me in touch with a graphic designer for my new logo + branding. A(blog design)+B(rebranding)=very expensive but I knew it was soooo very worth it. I told my sister about my plans but at that time she was venturing into a new addiction. Blogging.

Side note: I'd like to take credit for finally getting my sister to join the blogging world. Ok ok some other people help convince her too but since she's joined... the blogging world will never be the same. Seriously if you don't follow her then slap yourself. She's THE most creative, logical, funniest, amazing person ever. So go, go RIGHT now. 

Anyways, she was calling/texting/emailing me at all times in the morning as she had become obsessed with figuring out blogger, designing and writing code basically. She's turned herself into the most knowledge blogspot blogger I've ever come across and I've searched high and low for someone of her caliber. If your looking for someone who can help create a super cute blog that reflects you then GO NOW to her blog www.pamelapumpkinpie.blogspot.com and email her quick because she'll soon have a waiting list too. So chop chop! Oh and I'd love it if you leave her some love about how amazing this new blog of mine is. She's basically the bomb.com!

Before

and of course your looking at the after. It's like a Mr. Clean commercial. If I had sound effects you would of heard a chorus of angels once you opened my blog today. My dreams have really come true :o)
