Today The Sassy Steel Magnolia is 8 months old.  And as a present, I did a little shopping .. for a new outfit. And now it’s time to roll the curtains back and

TA-DAAAA!

How do you like my new look? *Don’t worry, I didn’t forget the couch. I found a new one to match..

So, what do you think?  After a week of tweeks, the site is up and ready to step out onto the Red Carpet of the World Wide Web.  Granted there are still a few things here and there that will need adjusting (aren’t there always), but here it is ladies and gents!

New flair? Of course! (there’s always a little flair, you know that) Here’s the skinny:

• I finally got that logo of mine figured out
• photos from my photo shoot are finally being put to great use in the photo sliders
• an edited ABOUT ME and WHY a SSM pages
• a new FEATURES tab where you can find a gathering of your favorite regular posts
• you can now find THE eSTORE right here without even having to leave the site
• a few new lovely ladies added to the blogroll
• and one of my favorite things: INSPIRATION in IMAGES – a collection of photos from my phone, from travels of friends, anything that catches my eye and makes me truly love & appreciate life around me! (scroll over image & click the thumbnail for a full size view!)

So take a few minutes to look around and check everything out. I do hope you enjoy! I know I really do — but I always love a brand new outfit every now and then ;)

I want to take a minute and say Thank You to the very gracious people who were also quite patient with me while ‘choosing the right outfit’.  My cousin, Tony – the mastermind behind Tech in Hiding, yet again for lending me his knowledge in helping me work out the kinks of this new design – sans cursing, too! Thanks T :) To Christina Mortti for allowing me to use her awesome photography skills and for my first photo shoot. One of the most genuine and coolest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting – Jeff Yurfest – who went to India (I’m jealous.) and let me put a few of his awesome pictures in my Inspiration page.  If pictures of India don’t inspire you, then I don’t know what will! My Sister Jessica & her husband Justin went Out West two years ago and said I could share their incredible pictures here. I’ve never wanted to do a trip like their’s, but after seeing the pictures, I’m quickly changing my mind. A very patient and honest girl who looked through many possible themes via gchat, inspected minute details such as the “email me” button, and also let me use her priceless pictures from her trip to Greece (I’m jealous, again.) for more Inspiration photos, thanks Kristin Bostic aka Kbo. *And of course to everyone else along the way!
