Changes are Coming Soon!

UPDATE: it will be late tonight or first thing tomorrow for the new look to appear! :)

I've been considering a face-lift for Empty Nest for some time now because...I needed a change. Something bright, cheery, inviting, uplifting...
Here's a hint.

I struggled, I admit that. I'm not usually one who embraces change unless it's needed. This one is needed. I also struggled with how to find someone who could do this for me because I am not creative, which should be abundantly clear. :)

I finally found Lori at Imagination Designs and we've been working on the new design (well, she's been doing the working) since August. There are a gazillion questions to be asked and decisions to be made. As new as I am to this whole blog design thing and how utterly indecisive I am about making decisions when it comes to design, this could have been pure torture on my very soul. Not with Lori at the helm, however. 

Lori knew the questions to ask and, when I floundered around, she knew how to get me back on track. Her patience level is off the charts because there were times when I was sure she was going to have some choice words for me. She never did. :)

Ok, y'all. Stay tuned because on Monday, you'll see a change right here on Empty Nest.

    1. I hope everyone likes it! I've been nervous. Not because of what Lori did because she's fantastic! It's because I don't do change easily. :) Hope to see you tomorrow!

  3. Even digital pixels on a screen get old I guess. Will we still recognize the place?

    1. Yep. I hope y'all will still recognize it. It's been stressful on my nerves because I don't do change well. But Lori is wonderful and she did a great job so, we shall see. Hop back tomorrow and tell me what you think!

  4. How fun! I just Google free backgrounds when I'm ready to change (once every couple of weeks). Paying for one would tie me to it for too long, I think. I can't wait to see your new look!!

    1. Since I don't do change well, I'll stick with it for a while. I've had this one forever and before, it wasn't that much different. This time, it is. Fingers crossed! :)

  5. Well this is sure an interesting development! I'm so rigid and inflexible (or just lazy) that I never think to change my blog much. Eager to see what's happening with Empty Nest!

    1. Yours is already just right. Mine isn't. I needed something happier to match my new grandma mood. LOL I hope you'll pop back tomorrow and check it out!

  8. Can't wait to see it! I'm too cheap to pay somebody! :)

    1. Lori is very affordable and she gives options on price depending on what you want. I wouldn't have paid anyone but I just couldn't do what I wanted to do by myself. I hope to see you back tomorrow! :)
