I am so excited to relauch our website and blog today! We’ve moved from the best I could do on WordPress (plus my logo — that I love — from Pretty Darn Cute Design) to a professional website and blog design from Kristen of Ahoy Graphics. I can highly recommend my experience with Kristen. She got what I wanted right away and she was more than patient with my many questions.
The new site does a much better job of featuring our parties, and I hope it makes it easier for you to read and navigate as well. And, I’m thrilled to say that now you can securely shop directly from our site! Double the Fun Parties will still be on Etsy, but now you also can enjoy a one-stop blogging and shopping experience.
Please let me know what you think of the new look!
If you were a subscriber to the old site, please resubscribe to this one. Unfortunately, subscriptions don’t transfer. To the right of this post, just enter your email address and click Sign Me Up!
And now for the GIVEAWAY!
So many great vendors have come together to help us celebrate the relaunch! One lucky winner will receive all these prizes — valued at $271. Instructions on how to enter are at the bottom of this post.
