friday follow button final

i think to crop further taints the layout. this is as small is i can get it aesthetically speaking. i do hope that's okay. its only 180 pixels wide and should fit nicely in most sidebars. these kids are so flippin cute.. they crack me up.. LOL

i could run a bit of text through it. but i really prefer it without.

Stacey's Respite, 2 column, Custom Cartoon

Meet Stacey of Stacey's Respite and musings of a spiritual life as a single mother living in Hollywood. Wow that last word says alot I think. Stacey was so very easy to work with, she wanted it simple and spiritual. We started with her custom cartoon. Here is RL Stacey with short hair. She told me her hair is longer than this but not to her shoulders just yet. Isn't it a great shot of her? She has the prettiest eye color, not so easy to convey in vector, let me tell ya!

In the end she loved her new hair do and I think the resemblence is un-canny!
Here are all the Inspirational pictures she sent me. This was perfect, I totally "got it" with these shots.

I literally lifted all the colors from these pictures to get them just right.
Here we have her Grab Button, I love the glow on my black background. Click on this button to visit her blog.

Click for a close up of her header, I went all out on the detail, I was having too much fun trying to convey the yogi touch.
Isn't the Hollywood sign so cute, her suggestion of course. And click below to check out a screen capture of her blog.
Visit Stacey at Stacey's Respite for some amazing insight on balancing motherhood, single life and spirituality in Hollywood of all places. Thanks for "Rockin" with me Stacey!

Menopausal New Mom, 3 Column Format

Meet Deb, she is a mother of a 3 year old who is also in full blown Menopause. She basically has the right to do what ever the heck she wants in my book. New Motherhood and Menopause, thats a doozy!

After custom cartoonizing we found this picture for the color inspiration.

Next I designed her header. I thought a flaming woman in a nursery was appropriate. Deb invisioned her MenoNewMom juggling the words of the things she deals with on a daily basis.
Here is a headshot of Deb's beautiful face.She's now gone anon with MenoNewMom as her Avatar.
Her new favicon is a flaming MenoNewMom, she looks hot to me.
And sticking with the hot flash theme, Deb's signature is on fire as well.
Click on this screen capture below to view Deb's Menopausal New Mom blog in action.
Now click on Deb's grab button and visit her for a real taste of her Rockin Blog!

Thanks Deb for Rockin with Blog Rock!
