It's party day! And I've now unveiled my new look!
What do you all think? The banner is different, but the best part is all the links so that you can go back and forth to my main website.
I liked the old banner, too. Really liked it. But it had to go because (this gets technical, sorry :) it had a curved bottom that was part of the graphic, and I couldn't put the links to my website there.
So now that we're unveiled, I want to start giving prizes! So here's all you have to do. Comment on this post and tell me how long you've been reading this blog, and I'll pick a random winner sometime later this morning EST!
And what do you win?
A copy of my audio download, To Love, Honor and Vacuum. It's hilarious, it's practical, and it will help you organize your life and take things a little more easily. I'm going to give away a bunch of them today, and a bunch of books (it's not too late to enter a draw to win a book; you can do so at this entry form).
So go ahead and comment, and you could win my talk!
UPDATE: And my first winner of the day is....Melissa G.! Thanks, Melissa! She's from Northern Ireland, and does blog designs here. I've sent her an audio download of my To Love, Honor and Vacuum talk, a 50 minute hilarious and practical presentation of what to do when you feel more like a maid than a wife and a mother. If you liked the book, or if you've always wanted it but haven't purchased it yet, this is a great introduction, that even includes some stuff that isn't in the book!
Now, for the rest of you, don't forget you can enter to win the books here, and if you link up your Wifey Wednesday post in the post below, you can win my audio download of Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight!
I would LOVE to win...been following your site for about 3 months now...am anxiously awaiting to be able to get the Honey, i don't have a headache tonight bible study too...love your writing so I'm thinking your books will be good too. 8-) So many of the things you post about seem like they are put there for me. Thank you for what you do and I'm glad I found you.
From another blogger who "loves" the design portion of blogs...I honestly liked the other banner better but I do understand about technical difficulties. 8-(
I like the new banner! I've been reading your blog over a year now. I purchased the "Honey, I don't have a headache tonight" book awhile back and it was doing wonders to change my mindset, until I hid it when my sister came to visit and never remembered to start reading it again. (blush) This is a good reminder to pick it up again!
I'll be honest - I can't remember how long I've been following your blog! Sometime earlier this year, I believe I saw a link to one of your Wifey Wednesday posts and have been reading you here - and several of your Ezine articles, too!
I have been following your blog off & on. You might say as I was blog hopping. But, yesterday I actually organized all my links as to who I'll visit on which days.No particular line up, just so my head doesn't spin completely of. LOL Thank you for having this giveaway and for adding me. Joyful
I have been blesses that all of your books are avaiakble in our churhc library, and I have taken them out more than once...SOmetimes I need a good laugh about all my circumstances!!! Thanks again
I like the new banner, the old one was really cute too but I like how all your links are right there! Way easy to navigate around to all your great resources!
I can't remember when I starting following, I know I found you on Twitter first though! Maybe it's been a year? Hmm not sure, all I know is, I LOVE your blog & your tweets. I'm so glad to have found you because you talk about all the things that are important in marriage & life. You're not afraid to say what 'needs' to be said & I not only love that but respect that! What a blessing you are! :)
I'm not for sure exactly when I started reading your blog. I do follow it. I just discovered it a few months back and that's when I started following it. I think I found your blog through Twitter. And then I also took your online seminar for building an online community.
I love the new banner. I like the old one as well. Your site is so bright and cheerful. I like that.
The new look is great! It's not too different so it still feels like your blog. I like it. I've been reading this blog for a few months now. Ever since i got bought one of your books.
I believe I have been following you since I discovered you on "A Woman Inspired" conference. At least I'm pretty sure that is where I "met" you. ;-) I appreciate your realism, and your challenging and encouraging messages! Keep pressing on!
I really love your new look. Can't remember how long I've been reading here, it's been a while.
I got your book "Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight" when you had the party for it. It was good overall. I think I'm going to maybe review it on my review site for you.
I really like your new banner/blog. I liked the old one too, but this one adds a bit of class to the fun banner. I started reading your blog in either January or February of this year. A Wifey Wednesday post brought me to your site and I try to check every Wednesday to see what your new Wifey Wednesday post is (actually I check most days to see what you've had to say). I believe that married women should do all that we can to build up our men and our marriages. I love my man and am thrilled to be his wife.
I have following your blog for about 3 months now. I thoroughly enjoy the articles, and on multiple occasions, you have posted about an issue that was exactly what I had been dealing with for several days. Thank you!
I can't remember how long I've been reading your blog. Maybe a year? I so appreciate it. Love the Wifey Wednesdays and many times I share the posts with my husband. I wish I would have found your books earlier in our marriage. Might have helped us through a few rough patches. But we have learned so much and are now much stronger. Thank you for a wonderful site!
Hm, I don't actually remember. I searched for comments here, the first of which I apparently posted in August this year, but I know I started reading before then.
Too late for the giveaway but I have to say that I love the new header. The fact that it links to your site is a good thing giving exposure to all the other stuff you have. Great update Sheila! I hope I can make it to the parties tonight. Wednesday is a church night and I'm not sure what time we'll be home. Enjoy!
About Me: I'm a Christian author of a bunch of books, and a frequent speaker to women's groups and marriage conferences. Best of all, I love homeschooling my daughters, Rebecca and Katie. And I love to knit. Preferably simultaneously.
Stumble It!
