Reader Girls Blog

Welcome.... To the new Reader Girls blog. It is final! Since we will be celebrating three years of blogging in December, we finally decided to have someone design our header, buttons and Facebook page. We wanted our own unique identity and now we have it. We wanted to say THANK YOU! to Giselle from Xpresso Designs for her fabulous creations. We wanted something to express our love of all things magical and otherworldly and she came through for us. The font-- instant love . I love the fairy blowing fairy dust. The open book with the butterflies is a great touch since we've lost ourselves in many a good book. And the background with the looming horizon is so visually appealing, we love it all. Giselle is a delight to work with, fast, and her rates are very reasonable. We are grateful for this talented designer and the great job she did for us. Thank you Giselle! We will be unveiling our new buttons and other items in the next few days.
