Welcome to my new Home!

by Robin on May 9, 2009

Happy Monday Peeps! I hope you found your way over from my other WordPress site!

It’s Metamorphosis Monday over at Between Naps on the Porch and I thought my new blog-home was quite a metamorphosis! WELCOME!!!

Thanks to my AMAZING son-in-law, I have a brand new blog space! Check out Jon’s great blog, I’m A Happy Man!

Welcome to All Things Heart and Home! (Did I say that already!?)

We’ve been working on this for a while now. Jon has done most everything and I’ve discovered that he’s a patient man, I’m pretty picky and have been known to change my mind on occasion! Jon’s done all of the hard work and has been so gracious about all the thousand details. It’s all WAY over my head I’m telling ya!

The art work was done by a graphic designer, Sara Hanks Giessen. Sara worked closely with my daughter Bethany on a color palette for Bethany’s wedding and she also designed Darren & Bethany’s wedding invitations! Sara is another patient soul, I had her redoing things over and over…God love her~

Anyhoo, I wanted to take a moment to say welcome and to say thank you for visiting me. My favorite aspect of blogging is connecting with you. I love getting to know you, to visit your bloggy homes, and to share in a tiny part of your lives.  I started this little blog on July 10, 2008, not even a year ago! Blogging has given me so much more than I ever expected!

This week in honor of my new home, I’m doing a little GIVE AWAY A DAY!!! Just leave me a comment, oh you know how we bloggers love and adore our comments, I’ll do the Random.org thing every night and let you know the next morning!!!

Today I’m giving away this “HOME Where your story begins”sign! (I so wish it said: All Things Heart and Home!)  Now, if you’ve never left a comment, I promise it’s easy and it only takes a moment!

Don’t forget Peeps, come back every day this week for the chance at a little somin-somin! Love and prayers coming your way…

Beautiful! I just got on the computer late (breaking my rule, but I can’t find time in the day!) and I had to stop by. I am so glad I did! Your new site is beautiful. It is exciting to think about the many women who will be ministered to through this site. Much love to you, Robin. You are ever in my thoughts and prayers.

Just popped over from Jadehollow to say thanks for your comments about her post for me. She think far more of me than she should and I’ll prove it to you if you read my Mother’s Day post. LOL

Anyway, looks like you guys are having a ball over here and I popped in to your SIL’s blog too and looked at a mighty beautiful baby!!

Blessings to you! :)
