  14. Beth said,

    Thank you for hosting us!


  15. on February 11th, 2008 at 8:20 am

    I love it, especially the ‘menu’ titles on the sidebar!
    This was such a great idea. Mine is not quite finished yet, but close enough to participate!


  16. on February 11th, 2008 at 8:21 am

    Still working out the kinks at the new site, so it’s redirecting back to Blogger for the moment – any tips on importing posts from Blogger to Wordpress would be appreciated (not been a fun process so far!). In any case, hopefully it’ll be up and running sometime soon (maybe even yet today) – I did also change over to a new URL as well. :)

    I love your new look!

    Love your new look! Thanks for hosting this carnival. It couldn’t have been better timing as I just redecorated over at my place a few days ago!

    To celebrate, I’m having a fun giveaway too!

    I love your header! I just redid my template and colors, but it’s still rather boring. I’m waiting till I figure out how to do cool things before I attempt another remodel.

  21. Leah said,

    on February 11th, 2008 at 9:22 am

    Happy Moving day! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time :-) Your new site looks amazing. Very cute, I love it!

    As you know, I moved my blog to my own domain back in December. I’m still not totally satisfied with how it looks, I wish I had something unique like yours. But alas, we cannot afford to have a special one made.

  22. Jessica said,

    My site doesn’t have much, but I am learning and trying to add new to it. Thanks for the incentive to get it going.

    What a wonderful redesign; I’m going to have to check out Swank Web Style when I’m ready to change…again!

    I’ve enjoyed clicking around your site and Megan’s.

    My blog started as a wp.com blog in Oct; moved to paid hosting powered by wp.org in Dec. Just moved again over to freebie hosting at Blogger.

    Thanks for organizing this! What a fun idea!

    Looking forward to clicking through some new blogs!

    Hello!
    On January 1st I moved to my own .com. Then I proceeded to change things, add things, redesign things, etc. It’s been a learning process during the kids nap time.
    Thanks for hosting!

    Thanks for hosting this fun event!
    This is my first time visiting your blog, but I love you already. Homeschool mom & Navy wife are two of my favorite things in the world! I’m not a Navy wife myself, but my husband and I started out our marriage in Pax River, MD, where we grew to love many a Navy family! There’s a special place in our heart for the military, and despite the fact that I was an Army brat and have a sister in the Air Force, I’m still partial to the Navy, and Navy wives in particular. I know how much you gals sacrifice for my freedom and I appreciate you so much!
    Were you ever at PAX River Naval Air Station?

    Grace and Peace,
    Angel
