Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful?

It's time that ol' Rook Dawg got a new look.

When Rookie Cookie came to be two and a half years ago, I was a novice in the kitchen. I loved to cook, eat and read about food, but I wasn't confident in the kitchen. This blog became a great avenue to increase my knowledge, stretch my abilities and open me up to a whole new world of food blogs.

Now I feel confident in the kitchen. My knowledge of the properties of ingredients has increased and so has my blog friend base. Since Rookie Cookie has grown up over the last two years, my graphic design slave/sister thought it was time that we went for a more grown up look. After taking a good look at this blog, I agreed.

So here is my new look. I think it is a bit more "grown up". Not so rookie. I hope you enjoy.

On the right side bar are two new buttons, ripe for the picking. If you already have my button, thanks and you are welcome to exchange it for a new one. If you want to keep the old one, be my guest. It will still bring you back to Rookie Cookie.

Megan, you are a master. Thank you for taking the time to spruce up what needed sprucing. I wish I could tell my readers and blog friends that you are taking on new clients right now. You have a true talent for this graphic design stuff.

Thank you all for your kind words. I couldn't agree with you more. Megan did a great job. I have the most talented sister.

LOL, yeah I wish you could tell us that she has free time to work her magic on other blogs! You know what else I wish? That I had a sister that was as talented as Megan! 'Cause my blog needs sprucing but my wallet says no. Darn wallet....why is it always so empty?
