{WELCOME! a new look}

{If you’re in a reader, you’re going to want to swing by and see this!}

Yeow! Gussy has a new blog. For the past week or so, my domain has been “on hold” while my new friend Darcy {an IRL friend, thanks to Blissdom} worked her magic. Hello, meet the skillz of Darcy @ Graphically Designing.

And we’re so glad you found this site. Isn’t it perfect? I love it :]

Darcy and I have been working hard to strengthen the Gussy brand. Well, Darcy has been working exceptionally hard. I’ve been busy suggesting ideas and she’s been busy training me in the way I should go. Hah!

So what is new around here?

I’ve got a new navigation bar {located under the blog header} and a fun social media navigation bar {shown below}. I invite you to take a look around — I’m sure everything will become familiar soon enough.

I also have a Disclosure + Privacy Policy page, packed full of truly useful information. I swear on my ruffles that you should read it :]

If you have my blog bookmarked to “http://www.gussysews.com”, then you should be safe. It will bring you here. If you have “http://www.maggiewhitley.blogspot.com” bookmarked, pretty, pretty, pretty please update your link? You’ll make my ruffles very happy.

But I think my Blogspot address is set to re-direct you here automatically. Time will tell, right? Oh! If you have my button on your blog, can you take a minute and update the URL to http://www.gussysews.com?

Maybe you’re wondering why I moved to WordPress? The main reason is because I wanted a better brand for Gussy. But Darcy has the perks typed out, and there’s no need to re-type that again. Click here to read her post. And then get in her queue. And no, that was not a sponsored shout-out. {If you read my Disclosure + Privacy Policy post that made sense.}

Ya’ll have supported my ruffles in such a huge way. Over a year ago I sat down to learn something new, and look at where we’re at: creating a fun brand for Gussy. I love sharing these success updates. So please come back — there are some really exciting things going on and I can’t wait to share.

I’m going to sign-off now — no sense letting the bird out of the cage early. Or cat out of the bag. However you say the saying ;]

xo.

    Oh, you said “skillz”. I love the word skillz! Thanks!

    You are brilliant. Young, talented, ambitious, creative and driven. I am so happy to be a small part of your journey to mad success.

    You go, girl.

    (and I hope your peeps aren’t too disappointed to learn that Graphically Designing is booked through September, but will reopen in Aug or Sept for the next round of projects. Shameless plug! But see that cutie patootie above me? She has joined the Graphically Designing team and will hopefully be ready for projects with the next queue opening!)

  30. how to get skinny legs says

    A fairly easy self test questionnaire can help you to ascertain your own metabolic
    type. You can’t tell your body where to burn the fat from,
    but when you regularly workout in your fat burning zone
    your body will burn the fat from all over your body, including the inner thigh fat.
    This is when skateboarding competitions were first being
    held.
