A Fresh New Look...

Y'all I am beyond excited...for realsies! If you haven't already noticed Cookie Louise Pleaze has finally had a facelift. Ya see I am in no way shape or for any good at html and basically was lucky to have the blog looking like I did. When Amy over at A is for Ampersand told me she was going to start doing blog design I knew I had to have her help!

If you are thinking about having a blog design done for the first time like myself or just revamping your look you have to go to Amy. She was the sweetest gal to work with and wasn't happy with anything unless I was...talk about customer service. I promise she will not disappoint!

I really feel all of her hard work really captures the personality of Cookie Louise Pleaze to a T. It is almost as though it's a real live place where you can sit down and have some coffee and visit in a warm relaxing atmosphere.

Thank you to the moon and back Amy... I love my new blog!!

Guest Post...A is for Ampersand

I think at this point the lovely Miss Amy needs no introduction she is pretty much blog royalty and lets face it...everyone loves her! She was sweet enough to share something with us so take a look...

Hello there, Cookie Louise Pleaze readers! I'm Amy from A is for Ampersand, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be here celebrating here with Christina on her big blog anniversary! I am a huge fan of Christina and always enjoy her insanely pretty vintage outfit posts and inspirational words. She's pretty much a gem, and I'm supa excited to be here.

Over at A is for Ampersand I like to provide my readers with some always free and always fun blog clipart. As a graphic designer by day and a blogger by night, I like to keep my creativity fresh by providing free clipart, so today I thought I'd make some fun party-esque clipart in honor of Christina's big day!



You can use these fancy little elements to spruce up a blog post or even make some fun invitations for a party of your own. Click here to download a zipped file of individual .pngs to use however you see fit!

If you're interested in getting some more free clipart, click here! And if you're wondering just how exactly to use this crazy clipart, click here for a tutorial on how to use a free web app called Fotoflexer that makes it easy!

I hope you enjoy the clipart and use it to party it up. Besides free clipart, I've always got all kinds of crazy vintage, thrifting, cat lady madness and/or goodness going on over at A is for Ampersand. I've also got a very exciting new shop opening up on July 18 called the Monocled Lop. We'll be selling all kinds of goodness, including pretty prints, necklaces, camera bags, and more, so stay tuned!

Thanks to the ever lovely Christina for inviting me to her party today, and it was lovely to meet all of you! Have fun with the clipart!

Thank you Amy for taking time away from The Lop to share these awesome blog pretties over here at CLP!

loves- Cookie Louise

Needing some serious blog love...

Beautiful readers, I am looking for a complete blog re-do...for real! I have done the best I can with my limited capabilities and it's just not up to par for the vision I have for Cookie Louise Pleaze.

That being said...if you or anyone you know does fantastic blog design at a reasonable price or maybe even some sort of trade leave me a comment and let me know. I would love to check out your work and promote you on CLP!
