Okay, okay - I got the hint. You want me to go back to posting *befores* and *afters*. I am happy to announce that I did do the befores for my upcoming projects. These ones aren't included yet but I promise to make it all worth it in the end!
The first make over is for those of you who love incorporating photos into your blog's header or banner. See all those photos? Count 'em! There're 13 photos - all taken by the blogger herself - in that header. I love when bloggers use their own images or art. In definitely makes for a one-of-a-kind blog. Stepher has traveled to some pretty cool places. She picked a travel theme for her sidebar buttons. See the plane and globe and the cruise ship? 
Speaking of using your own images or art, this next project uses all of Pam's own artwork. Even the background was taken from one of her paintings. Know what she used to make that texture? It's coffee! Be still my beating heart. Have I mentioned how intimidating it can be to work with a *real* artist? Pam went easy on me. To include all her pieces I had to take 3 screen shots. Look at her talent!
And because I love showcasing mom-prenuers in the blogosphere, Pam and I have teamed up for a contest. You can win one of the pieces from Pam Warden Art. Eek! It's so fabulous I want to enter my own contest (Hey, Pam, can I do that?!)
YOU can enter! How? Simple - here are the rules:
- Go to Pam's blog and etsy shop and look around at her art.
- Come back here at tell me which is your favorite piece - the one you'd love to have!
- You have until Friday at 10 pm CST to enter.
- Winner will be announced here and at Pam Warden Art.

I love Pam's "Think Green"...you know, the whole lilypad, frog things works for me. LOL
Jaclyn
LOL! I love Think Green too! My 2nd choice would be If I Click My Heels Three Times Can I Get Out Of Here :)
Stepher and Pam's new sites both look awesome! Pam's art is really cool. She has a funky, unique style that's fun to look at.
I like the Think Green and the Real Cowboys Don't take baths and the pretty sunflower one about friends. I can't pick just one!
Cool contest.
I guess I'm probably not eligible, but I really like the one where a little piece of martha dies :)
Amy :)
They are all adorable but I think my favorite is "Best Friends".
Thanks you guys. I have over 100 designs-look at my wholesale page to see some more, but not all, of the rest.
That's at http://blogcabinfever2.blogspot.com
Which one is YOUR favorite Darcy?
Blessings to all,
Pam
The favorite for me was
"A Glad Heart".
That one has deep meaning for me and I'd love to put it in my 3 little girls' bedroom. They would especially love it and we could look at it daily to remind ourselves to have happy hearts!
So, Darcy, just skip the random generator and pick me! ;-D
Love "Big Girl Panties"!! love her hands on her hips.
Now that I have seen the wholesale collection, it's tied between "Best Friends" and "The Artist".
Good stuff!
I love them all...but Life is a Big Canvas...is my fav!
Connie
I love all of Pam's creations but the Cheez Whiz makes me laugh!!
Oh my GOODNESS - Pam GETS me!!! I found her "I never said it was your fault..." and snorted my coffee all over the floor (sorry - too much info?)
Anyway, my hubby and I have a standing joke going. Everything is his fault. (Poor guy - now that I'm seeing it in print, it sounds awful. But we laugh, really we do!) For example, I go through the drive through, and order my coffee extra extra. They forget the extra extra. I look at him and say, "It's all your fault."
Or I paint the room and it just won't dry, and before I say anything else to him, "It's all your fault!"
Needless to say, hands down, my favorite is the first one I looked at - "I never said it was your fault I said I'd blame you"
After looking through the rest, they're all my favorite ;)
I love them all.
I really love the Life's short, pick the flowers one. Love the saying, love the colors, love the expression.
(blog looks awesome too.)
I love Pam's "A Glad Heart", it was hard to pick one. I plan to put it in my science class to remind me over and over.....
She does the cutest stuff. Tonight the "If I click my heels three times can I get out of here" painting calls out to me. If my garden was pretty, I would have to go for the one about having my flowers meet you, oh well.
Woo Hoo Darcy that's a neat site you've made there! My personal favorite is the "Think Green" too :D
I absolutely love the Given enough coffee I could rule the world. As a homeschooling mama to 6+ this fits around here!
My favorite is probably "A Glad Heart" But they are all wonderful!
I love the Marriage...you've found someone special to annoy for the rest of your days. She does great work!
THANKS to Darcy for putting up with my oh-so-OCD-tude.
She was a REAL trooper and I absolutely LOVE my new layout!
Stepher
Come into My Garden is totally my favorite.
I like "A Glad Heart" and the "Think Green". Really cute stuff, it was hard to choose one.
Robin
My fav is Grandma loves you. Darcy, your blog designing skills are great. Just checked out your portfolio...WOW!
Great stuff,
LisaE
i'm drooling over the pink hummer! beautiful!!!
They are all so great it would be hard to choose a favorite!
Danielle
I loved The Artist & The Perfectionist. Cute stuff!
Found your blog from feather my nest...love it! And I LOVE the artist piece! Beautiful and funky!
I would have to choose "BEST FRIENDS", because it reminds me of my two girls. Only 18 months apart.
And they are best friends, because best friends fight all the time, right?
OH! My favorite is definitely the one about *pulling up your big girl panties and dealing with it* from the wholesale page of Pam's blog. I LOVE it! hee hee
Hi all! For even more surprise Give-Aways comment on my blog up until Fri. the 11th (tomorrow)midnight EST- my Birthday- as random numbers have been chosen for a comment on each post. One winner, Lisa, so far,she was number 50. She has won her choice which was, Grandma: "You may not be nearly as important as your Grandma said you were but believe it anyway."
Hugs to you all and Darcy-you really made a wonderful blog home for me.
Pam

I also like the flower one on this very blog. But it isn't at her site anymore. :( Ok... which one of you purcahsed it. :) LOL
I love "Best Friends". I love that it is made with my favorite thing coffee.
:-)
I like the "If I click my heels..."! Very cute!
I LOVE "a glad heart". Yep, that's definitely my favorite! Great blog by the way!
i hope i'm not too late to say how fun it would be to win "the queen rules"
If I click my heels. Oh noooo, it's 10:10pm. I got caught up reading all of these blogs! LOL
