New Wonderland Look

I am so excited that my new blog layout is up and running.  I was sad a few months ago when my old template just pretty much quit working.  It was an older template so I think the coding on it was just getting outdated.  I had a bunch of issues I could deal with but then when the titles stopped showing I had to get rid of it. I did try to contact the person who made it.. but since it was a free template and an old one they never contacted me back. I frantically looked for another free template that I loved as much as my original but I just couldn't really find anything.




I follow a few blogs that have used New Chapter Designs for their blogs.  I really like what Stephanie has done.   So I messaged her about my ideas and she said she would be happy to do it.  I had A LOT of ideas too.  I really do like what she came up with for the header.  I love Alice in Wonderland.  It is so whimsical, there is just so much you can do with it.  I still have a few things to work on like my sidebar and some meme buttons.  But otherwise .. things are looking great.  Let me know if you see anything that is wrong or not working. 


I was really nervous about switching but it was fun and easy.  It is nice to have a change around here!!  Hope you love it too!

    New Chapter Designs does some fun work... and they are affordable. A lot of designers just charge way too much for my budget. She charges perfect!

    Soooo cute! I absolutely love it! I don't see green enough in blog designs now that I think about it. I can't decide if that cat is safe to pet or not >.>

    It is so nice and fun!! I used yours as an inspiration for the colors on here!

    The designer actually moves the template in for you. New Chapter Designs just becomes an author for the blog and then when everything is done you remove them. It was easy. Her prices are very reasonably and you can find them on her website.

    This is such a lovely design, Angela! It is just wonderful and I really, really like it- quite a change from your old style, but I think it works really well and just love the header, in particular! My favourite colour is pretty close to this blue/teal, too, so double points there. xx

    Oh my gosh, I LOVE it! I really wanted to get a custom header from New Chapter Designs, but she's closed for customs, until October :( Hopefully this fall I'll get one!

  52. Angelas Anxious LifeJuly 9, 2014 at 12:00 PM

    I just noticed I keep telling everyone thank you ... like I am the one who created this blog design!! LOL! It is very different from the old one. To be honest though I really lik both of them so either way I am happy.

  53. Angelas Anxious LifeJuly 9, 2014 at 12:01 PM

    OH wow! All the way till October! I did have to wait two months for this design. My advice to you is to just sign up now.
