Contest at Sandra's Goings On is a Resounding Success!!!
What, you say? A resounding success? But, there were only four entries.
Ahhh, but these entries came from the great Blogosphere beyond. They were not friends and family that had to be badger--uh, asked to post a comment. No, these four brave souls were new to Sandra's Goings On. Welcome!!! I hope you liked what you saw and come back for more.
Anyway, on to the excitement. Who is our lucky winner? Drum roll please......................... Cassie! Cassie is our big winner! Thank you to everyone who participated. With so many, I don't know if I'll be able to keep it straight. No matter. We have our winner and she will receive either a Border's GC or 500 BlogExplosion credits.
Ok, now that we've gotten that out of the way, Sandra's Goings On is getting a face lift! I am very excited about this. I have commissioned a custom blog skin by Blogs Gone Wild. Se7en--is that not just the coolest freakin' name?--is fantastic to work with. He is also very patient, which is good, because, apparently, I'm unable to make up my mind easily. Well, I am paying for it. But, Se7en kindly didn't huff and puff when I asked him after each of his fantastic attempts to please me, to tweak this or tweak that (Even when he didn't agree with my choices--er, knew they would suck). In the end, and I'm sure this poor guy was cringing by now, I asked him to go back to an older version that I now realize is THE one. I can't wait to see the final incarnation. I know I'm going to be very pleased. Thank you, Se7en, for being so professional and for just being a great person to work with. I will make sure anyone I come across who needs a custom blog skin will know how to find your site!
So, congrats to Cassie on her win. Loved your embarrassing moment, by the way. I could just picture the look on your friend's face after that comment. ROFLMAO! And, thank you, Se7en for working with me to make this blog a little more interesting to look at. (New look coming soon)
This year is already off to a great start.
Sandy :-)

Ooooo, it’s like being in a dream. Beautiful blog skin.
Congrats, Cassie!
Your new blog skin is gorgeous, Sandy! I love it.
::blush::
I'd like to thank my parents, and my cats, and of course, Marisa, the source of my embaressing story! (Oh, and the acadamy, of COURSE!)
Anywho, thanks Sandra! I love the new layout, it looks really good. I've been thinking about hiring someone to do mine lately, and I may have to talk to them. :)
