New Look!! What do you think?

Hello :)


If you have been on the website already this morning, you must have seen our NEW LOOK WEBSITE as it is now up and running. The template is the same, so the navigation won't change, but it is much brighter and more cheerful. And if course we had to have the blog matching.
A little tip: if you have the website in your favourites, you might have to refresh the page (F5 on your keyboard) for the new look to appear ;)


We would like to thank once again our very talented design team member (and also Kadoodle designer) Chris Dark for designing those three little owls, which is now our official logo.
And speaking of logo, here's one you can have for your blogs to replace the "old" one... Hope you like it. 


Don't forget that this weekend is the Count down to Christmas Extravaganza: perfect inspiration for all those Christmas cards you have to make! I wish I could be there!

Have a great weekend!

Bonjour, 
Si vous êtes déjà allé(e)s sur notre site aujourd'hui, vous avez dû remarquer le nouveau look, plus frais, plus gai sur lequel nous avons travaillé; Le design est le même, ce sont juste les couleurs qui changent. 
Un petit conseil, si vous avez notre site dans vos favoris, il vous faudra peut-être réactualiser votre page (Cliquez sur F5) pour voir les nouvelles couleurs. Et bien sûr, nous avons changé ce blog aussi. 


Nous voudrions, une fois encore, remercier notre talentueuse DT member (et designer Kadoodle) Chris Dark pour ces 3 adorables petites chouettes qu'elle nous a dessinées et qui est maintenant notre logo officiel. 
D'ailleurs, en parlant de logo, vous pouvez prendre le logo ci-dessus afin de remplacer l'ancien" sur vos blogs si vous le désirez.


Nous vous souhaitons un très bon week-end. 


A bientôt
