"How Yummy is YOUR blog?"

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted. Sorry about that - tax season has been taking up a lot of my time!

But I wanted to take a minute today to invite you to a virtual party! Hosted by the brand new "Berries and Cream Blog Design," the party starts tomorrow (February 14, 2009) and runs through February 28, 2009! During that time, they will be giving away prizes, offering special discounts on their products, and sharing more about themselves. They will even give you some of their favorite recipes to enjoy!

A new prize will be added each day during the launch party (*check out the prize I'm giving away) Prize entries will be accepted for one week - comments for the first prize will be closed on Feb.21, comments for the second prize will be closed on Feb. 22, and so on. To be entered for a prize, you will need to leave a comment on the prize post. You will be able to earn extra entries for completing others tasks, like subscribing to their newsletter or adding their button to your blog.

So what is Berries and Cream Blog Design ? It's a new company, born from the now retired RS Designs. You may recall that RS Designs was the creative force behind THIS blog's redesign and the awesome design over at my weight loss blog, Because We're Worth It. I had such a great experience both times working with Revka - from start to finish, she listened to what I was looking for and really nailed the theme, in a short period of time. And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg either (quite refreshing from the $150 I had spent for another blog design!)

So if you are tired of your blog's design and ready for a change or starting a new blog, I highly recommend heading on over to Berries and Cream Blog Design and hiring these ladies to "transform your blog from ho-hum to memorably delicious!"

And Revka and Linda can help you no matter what platform you use (Blogger, Typepad (Pro or Plus), Wordpress.com, or self-hosted WordPress blog). View their gallery to see examples of their work.
