The best things in life are "free"...

That's right!  These awesome earrings, that I named "Big O's" are the next give away:
Whoo hoo ~ Lita will pick a winner Monday morning!!  All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post to enter.  Let me know what you think about my new blog look!  

BE SURE TO CLICK "READ MORE" to read the rest of this post!  This is something new on blogger :)

I've had my website Dornick Designs [dot] com for about 9 years now.  It's been hosted through Yahoo and I've been paying $36/quarter, plus another $75 every 3 years for my domain.  I've been wanting to do something about it for awhile now, but never figured out what.  So when Blogger came out with "pages" and the capability to actually name your blog your domain name [and all for "free" mind you!], it was a no brainer!  I switched my "dornickdesigns" domain to GoDaddy for $2.17 [plus a whole year for "free"], signed up for a 3 year e-mail service, so I won't lose my "dornickdesigns" e-mail and waved bye-bye to Yahoo!  It cost me a total of $74 for 3 years of domain hosting & a business e-mail account, with five e-mail addresses!  A savings of over $400!  I'm going to miss my old website, but I gotta roll with the changes.  Plus, I can advertise on my blog and make $$!  Life is good!!

Happy Superbowl Sunday!  We're having some friends over and I can't wait!  It's going to be a great day!
♥ & peace always ~ Kathy

  1. I want in this drawing (big surprise)! I like the blog look. I still feel the same comfort that I felt when I stopped by before, but now it's adds a bit of edgy-ness (or maybe it's the Stephen Tyler story--how cool is that).

  3. Lol Ellen...I'm sure it's Steven Tyler! I'm just trying for more of a "professional look" rather than the cutesy, cutesy. I had to keep the Owl, though :)

    We're thawing out from a week of snow here and trying to think warm thoughts!
    Enjoy the weekend.

  7. I love the new look although I am a new follower. i found your blog when a online friend asked if I did pendants like the one Stephen Tyler Mark Ryden pendant. I googled it and found your blog. How cool! And I'm glad you kept the playlist. I use when I paint :)
