My Mind’s Eye Blog Hop!

Blog-hop

So today is my first big project for My Mind’s Eye. A blog hop! I’m so glad you found your way here, I had a blast putting this together and I am thrilled that so many amazing women agreed to join in.

Today is all about celebrating the new My Mind’s Eye blog. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m pretty proud of it. What do you think? I want to thank the fabulous Jen Allyson for helping me design the blog. She’s amazing. 🙂

MME is also celebrating our foray into social media. Twitter,FB,Pinterest…you name it. I’m committed to being accessible and present and so excited to share my love of MME. Have I mentioned how thrilled I am about this new job?

I am. I’m having FUN. I’m challenged, busy, and happy.

I wanted to share a layout I made with lots of MME goodies. My first official layout since accepting the job!
