First thing Monday, and I'm having a giveaway. Why? Well, if you got here under your own steam, you'll be able to see for yourself. If you are reading in a Reader, you'll need to click through - to see From High in the Sky's new look!
It's very nearly two years since the last time we blew away the cobwebs round here. Time for a change! All the hard work has been done by the hugely talented Katie of Priceless Design Studio. She took the bits I wanted to keep and the bits I wanted to freshen and pulled them together into a look I love. I hope you'll like it too.
To tempt you to have a peep and say hello I'm celebrating with a From High themed giveaway. I've been gathering up a collection of the kind of things you might recognise if you are a regular here - library pockets (oh, yes), houses, name labels, a thought bubble stamp (for thinking out loud, obviously)..there'll be more. You have a week to leave a comment, follow, facebook like, whatever you fancy. I'd love to hear from you!
Do let me know what you think. Me? I'm completely sure the change will do me good..
it looks awesome!
ReplyDeletehow time flies - I remember the last blog do over. Lovely clean look
ReplyDeleteOooh, snazzy! I'm a fan of a white, or near to white background, everything else shines that way.
ReplyDeleteOOoohh Sian!...you DO look fresh and summery..hope your weather's the same!

your blog design is beautiful, love the soft colors
ReplyDeleteGreat make-over. Looks fresh and exciting. They say change is as good as a rest so you are looking completely energised.
ReplyDeleteloving the new look x
ReplyDeleteIt is looking rather lovely I have to say. I approve of your new look :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes very 'you'. Sophisticated, chic, clean cut and unique.
ReplyDeleteLove your new look! I need to do something new too. Don't know when I'll get to that.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look very stylish
ReplyDeleteTwo years? Surely not? How time flies!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look, but I also loved the old one. But it's always nice to have a change. I'm doing it slightly by doing a different header every month.
oooooooooooh! It looks lovely. I especially like the old typewriter with links to our new digital technology :-) Priceless!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThink it looks fab - very clean and easy to follow. Enjoy your "new" blog :0)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice & clean looking!
ReplyDeleteI love it - very delicate and pleasing to the eye :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it! It suits you perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI've just recently started following your blog so I haven't seen much of the old design, but I do like the new one. It has a nice clean look.
ReplyDeletehow fun Sian!
ReplyDeleteYour blog makeover is amazing! I loved the old one and was sad to hear that it would soon be going but this one is just as awesome! A lovely giveaway but please don't put me in the draw due to high postage costs.
ReplyDeleteA great makeover,Sian....still so recognisably yours though.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - super buttons and bits and a fun photos of you. The white is very restful too.
ReplyDeleteOne thing though - which is probably me not you - it's too wide for my laptop screen and I have to scroll left or right to see both sides. I have no idea if that's a setting I can adjust on my machine ... do you????
Very nice, Sian. There are only a few blogs that I still follow on a regular basis and yours is at the top of that list. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted that everyone seems to like it! I'm really happy with it.
ReplyDeleteJemma - I only use a laptop and it's fine on mine. I'll certainly ask Katie what she thinks it might be
Nice blog redo Sian! I love the more subdued look and the doodles :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new look - so light and airy. Love your picture and the various icons (especially the type writer). Plus, your signature.

Well, it is lovely in here. Well done.
ReplyDeleteReally great! Nice colours and fresh look :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat redo, Sian, it looks very "you" and inviting. I am working on a redo myself...staying with the brights but a different look.
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! So fresh, so different and yet it still feels right for you... does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteLove the new look! It is so clean & fresh!
ReplyDeletewow wow and wow....your new look is wonderful. Love that you've kept your house too x
ReplyDeleteLove the new look blog. The soft colours are lovely and fresh, and I really like the crisp white too. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeletei love your new look! you are a scrapbooker, storyteller, and seamstress but, oh, so much more as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou´ve been redecorating! Nice new look. Had fun clicking on buttons and exploring. :D
ReplyDeleteWow! This is lovely, and it will take me awhile to click through to all the goodies there are to explore. Love the clean look. This reminds me that it's been a couple of years (at least) since I changed my blog header and did any cleaning up myself.
ReplyDeleteoh what a treat to come by and see some changes Sian! I lOVE your new look! Those little loopy underlines remind me of knitting loops :)
ReplyDeleteI like the three columns and the crisp look, and of course your new photo.
LOVE the change. It's really beautiful! fantastic clean design.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look!
ReplyDeleteOh it's beautiful! Really is, love all that lovely white space and the soft grey doodles.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading on my PC and am not having the trouble Jemma is, don't know if that's a help or an annoyance to her :)
Ooh and I really like your picture too - you look like a literary pirate in that top :D
Yes I like the new look - very watercolouresque!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I do like the change very much. It has an open, airy feel. I like the soft neutrals in your sidebars, so the focus stays on your post. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like it very much :) Very fresh and pretty! But please don't enter me into your generous draw, as I'm still not commenting regularly yet and it's coincidental that I do have a moment to do so now when you happen to be having a giveaway, so I'd feel guilty if I did win... x
ReplyDeleteLovely and fresh and easy to read :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, Sisn, and feels lovely - wnich is equally important! :)
ReplyDeleteThere were no cobwebs before! If there were, i didn't see any. I love the new look.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like it! I also liked the "old" version, but this is just as fun and fabby. Smart and clean-looking too - definitely no cobwebs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Bloggiversary, for soon...
It looks beautiful Sian. It's good to have a change now and then, isn't it?! Cute giveaway too, I love the speech bubble stamp! x
ReplyDeleteI love the new design, fresh, and bright :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the new look, very fresh and summery - perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe new look reminds me of a Sian page - lots of white space and quirky bits. Delighted you were able to keep all the bits you liked too!
ReplyDeleteAs for library cards, houses and thought bubble stamps - always fun to play with :)
I'm finally getting caught up (a little) on blog reading, and I absolutely LOVE the new look, so refreshing!
