And just for the fun of it, I want to show you what my blog looks like during its earlier days.
The first blog banner I had was a simple template I selected from Blogger. Unfortunately, I didn't save it so I couldn't show it to you today. I liked it but it wasn't the look I was looking for.
This is my second blog banner. It was a free template I got from a website. I made a few changes by inserting my blog's name, a tagline and played with the colors to achieve this look. Again, I wasn't truly satisfied with the design because it looked a little amateurish.
This is my third blog banner. I wanted to simplify my design with a geometric background but still, it doesn't look professional.
Finally, my fourth blog banner. I am finally satisfied with the design. It's chic, it's green and it's definitely the look I was going for, thanks to an awesome blog design giveaway that I won!
Like my blog banner, I am sure my blog will continue to evolve and hopefully improve in the future so I hope you will continue to stay with me. I want to take this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you who loyally follow, read my blog and take a moment to leave an encouraging and positive comment from time to time.
Without your support, my blog wouldn't have come this far. Thank you my fabulous readers, you are simply the best!
Wow so very cute! don't you love it when you look back and see how the organic evolvement of your blogs growth? I'm really looking forward to that with mine :) xo

ReplyDeleteHey Jessie,
ReplyDeleteI'm a fellow decorator based in Miami and I gotta say, I'm such a fan! Congrats on this amazing milestone and here's to even more incredible things for mixandchic. I read this post with a huge grin because like you, I've struggled to get the right look for my blog and actually just hired danielle moss who did your design. p.s. her waitlist is insane. Anywho, I look forward to reading your posts and to celebrating the 10-year anniversary with you one of these days. Cheers!
Happy Anniversary! (and wishing you continued success!)
