thankee ji! :D

I finally have a new and very very cute look for my blog! Well, I have been told modesty is thing of past, so will just praise it myself! :p

Of course the credit does not go to me at all. It's just one of those things that happen which make you feel incredibly lucky for having such amazing people around you!

~nm aka Betu's mommy is the one to whom i owe a BIG thank you for so effortlessly accepting to do this adorable piece of art and having it all ready for me within a days time! hat's off to you lady!

It all started with Swati's blog having a new header made by Aryan's taiji! We discovered Taiji is NM and a casual comment saying can taiji do it for us and i got a comment saying mail me. So I did. She asked me what do you want? What does Cubby like? I drew a blank and said kuch bhi chalega. Inspite of such silly jawaab the lady got to work. Next day morning I had a sample of the header to look at! I was excited like a baby! I kept asking for small changes till i made her go Oho! :p

Then comes a mail with steps in detail and I am even more stumped! I was really scared of wiping out my whole blog. I sent her a SOS saying can technologically handicapped people attempt such a serious thing?

NM was verry amused to say the least and sent me her number saying Call me! Her wish was my commend by now and I called her. I must say she has a gorgeously sweet voice! :D

Then like a small baby, she took me through the steps answering my complete Duh questions with amazing patience! Header she would say and i would go Uhhh! So now you know HOW duh! :(

Within minutes it was up and I sent the link to M who is ofcos in deep slumber being in a different time zone. As soon he was up, sms pestering did you see my blog kept flying! Then he saw and sent me a sms saying it's just awesome! He was so jealous! Hehe!

So big hugs for you NM! This has been one of the nicest things someone has done for me! :)

:D lovely template indeed.

the lost_poet(a friend) did mine a few months ago, but now I'm such a stubborn one that I'll probably leave it alone until I gather the energy to learn the photo-editing/graphics softwares and do it myself :P

Thanks for dropping by my space, and NO you are not old!

this is sooo pretty! lovely indeed! and that tag you asked me to do? I swear that almost 90% of my answers would be the same as yours

~nm said...

What mirch masala you have put into the whole episode!!

And also, don't pretend and appear to be as 'duh' are you are trying to. You were pretty quick to do what all I asked you to do.

And making it was really easy - the header I mean. India mein jugad bahut chalta hai na, maine bhi wahi kara :P

Enjoy and have fun!
