This is my new favorite word and my mantra for the blog layout process.



East Coast layout received the most votes! So with the East Coast layout and svelte in mind .... I hope to have a blog makeover soon. Those hearts and clovers are driving me insane. Hopefully, I will have the new one before I add Easter bunnies or eggs to the sides.

I have no idea what gets into me.... it is so unlike me, but I sit down at the computer, browse through layout and just start changing things. I have lost a few things in the process (pictures and a few posts) and gained a few (but hopefully not bunnies and eggs).

I like things organized and with clean lines. I need to get back to my roots.





Blessings to those with a svelte·ly attitude,

Kristie
