surprise!

See anything new? It's looks a whole heck of a LOT better around these parts, no?  
I have been an avid reader of Erin's blog over at Two Thirds Hazel for awhile now (By the way, she is hysterical and you should totally hop over there and become a reader of hers too!). So when she mentioned she wanted to start designing blogs after her own self-designed blog makeover, I knew I had to jump on the opportunity. She was incredibly thorough, and the process was just way too easy..on my end, at least! Kudos to Erin for knowing all the ins and outs of HTML! ha
After emailing her links, photos, and my inspiration board for the color palette and feel I was going for...viola! That's Influence had a major face lift. Thank you, Erin. You did an incredible job!

So what do y'all think? Is you blog needing a face lift too? You already know who I would recommend. ;)
