A Shout Out + New Blog Design + Giveaway Winner

I'd like to introduce you all to Amy from The Charming!


If you haven't noticed, my blog got a bit of a makeover last week.


I still consider myself "new" to this blogging world, so there are quite a few things that I don't know how to do yet.
{ie. HTML thumb? Direct links? Center alignment? Subscription links? Say what?}


Other than being extremely sweet and patient, she is also extremely talented.

Here is how our blog-friendship started:

I noticed she was a nursing student... so am I.
She's a tea fanatic... Me too!
She can't pronounce 'Wisconsin'... That's where I live.

Obviously this was going to be the real deal.

A few months pass, yada yada yada...

...Until one night, I decided to send out a little SOS to Amy. 
I asked her who designed her blog, and she replied back with "me!"
Immediately after, she asked if I had any questions or if I needed help with my blog.
Did I need help?! Did I need HELP!? Of course I did.

I gave her a few ideas that I had in mind, and she created it. 
She gave me tons of options, and every response I got back from her was so kind! 

"Of COURSE I can do that for you!" 
and
 "Yes, i'll do that right now!"
and
"No problem! I can explain it to you so you know how to do it too!"

She is simply wonderful.
If you are looking for a blog designer, I highly recommend Amy!

Hi!
Just found your blog and am newly following :) I'm a soon-to-be nursing student! I graduated with my BS in Psychology last year, and am getting ready to dive into a year long BSN program before pursuing a masters in midwifery. I haven't seen any other nursing bloggers out there - looking forward to following you! xoox, eliza
