Blog Construction, and a WINNER!

I'm busy at re-vamping the blog, hopefully to be a better and more beautiful experience for you. In doing so, I'll be pulling some of my older posts from the archives and deleting them. Everything will be categorized for easier navigation of the site, and thankfully, new posts will update much more regularly now that my schedule has eased.

It's been such a fantastic journey, and I appreciate the time you choose to share with me each day at Color Outside the Lines. Here's to a few more!

And ... for the winner of the Inglenook Decor giveaway, drumroll please ...



Congratulations BJ. of Sweet Nothings. BJ said, "I went over to the cute shop...and marked it as a Favorite. I like the wire centerpiece basket and the French soap dish, along with just about everything they have!" BJ, please send me your mailing information and I'll send these cute little birds over to you as soon as I can.

Thanks again to everyone who left comments on the birds, and the fine products over at Inglenook Decor. Also, of course, thanks to all the super kind comments on the work I put into the tablescape.

As an aside, Color Outside the Lines will be unmanned from Sunday - Thursday, so I won't be able to post about the Design Star challenge on Monday. Have no fear though, since the teasers show this as the most interesting episode of the season, you can bet I'll have things to say on Friday morning!

Happy Labor Day! See you Friday!

    Love the new look of your blog! I'll be back on Friday. I actually watched this and last week episodes of DS. Before I had only caught snippets here and there so it will be interesting to hear your commentary now that it's down to the final two. Have a good week.
