I live my life in #soclosetoamazing moments.
You know.
Where I’m trying every single day with everything I have to be the very best me I know how to be…
…and then?
Something happens.
Like slipping on ice on my way to a clearance sale or wearing two different pairs of tennis shoes or spilling paint in my robe all over the back hallway or dragging paper around stuck to my shoe or leaving the price tag on my jacket or stepping in dog poop or opening my mouth in the checkout line at WalMart and inserting my foot.
Or having the blog completely redesigned…
…with a spelling error.
So to celebrate the pre-launch of the book and the new website and the spelling error, I’m giving away a $100 Amazon gift certificate.
But first?
Let’s take a stroll down the pages of the new blog.
When you go to thistlewoodfarms.com, you’ll see this page.
It’s a landing page with all of the different things I’m working on.
There’s the blog.
There’s a page on the book.
There’s the product line over at Painted Fox.
There’s a page for brands or companies to contact me if they are interested in working with me.
There’s also a place to sign up for the newsletter, a footer bar that helps navigate the site at the top and at the bottom and a few of the recent stories on the blog.
When you click into the blog page it looks like this.
The two most recent posts are at the top.
Then the rest of the posts are thumbnailed after that for easy access.
And then?
There’s a superhero feature.
See where it says “More Ideas and Inspiration”?
If you click on that arrow a drop-down menu pops up to the REST OF THE CATEGORIES ON THE BLOG.
And when you click one of the categories—like “the holidays” for example–guess what happens?
It pulls up all the holidays right there in thumbnail form.
No searching.
No digging around and wondering where the holidays are–with one click they all pop up.
And when you’re done with holidays? There are projects and stories and befores and afters and laughs and so many more posts all categorized for your reading convenience.
When you click on the book page (you can either click from the landing page on the blog or the link at the very top under “My Books”…
…this page opens up.
It tells you what the book, So Close To Amazing is about.
There’s also a slider at the bottom that will have more pictures from the book soon.
If you scroll on down, there’s a section with book endorsements.
These are people who got an advanced copy of So Close To Amazing and read it and shared their hearts about it.
Below that is a section where you can pre-order the book, So Close To Amazing.
It actually releases to bookstores and shops all over the country on September 5, but it’s available for pre-order NOW!
You can click on any of the retailers listed above and it takes you right to the page to order. In awesome news, you can reserve a copy now and most of the retailers won’t charge your credit card until the book actually ships.
There’s a whole section at the top (under speaking) with FAQ’s.
I need a little help with this.
I need some more FAQ–so if you have one–please send it my way.
Under speaking, there’s a section with different topics I speak on and a calendar of my speaking events.
It looks like this.
There’s also a google map location for each of these events and dates and times.
You can click into each event for more information about it.
WHEW.
That was a lot.
A lot of changes. A lot of new things to get used to. A lot of different ways of getting to the same place.
There are so many AWESOME things on the horizon that I cannot even believe they are all happening and coming true and I can’t wait to share each and every one with you.
And I just wanted to say thank you.
Not a lower case thank you. A GIANT ALL CAP THANK YOU.
Thank you for coming along with me on this crazy ride. None of this journey–not a single step, not a single opportunity, not a single moment would have been possible without you.
The wonderful, amazing, incredible you on the other side of this screen.
I. Adore. You.
Now about that giveaway. 🙂
Somewhere on this blog is a misspelled word.
Here’s a hint.
It’s not too hard to find.
Look around a little bit at the new blog and when you find the word,
shout it out using the Rafflecopter giveaway for a chance to win the $100 Amazon gift card.
Good luck and I hope you have a day as amazing as you are. 🙂
You are amazing big and I am soooo happy for you! May God continue to richly bless you and your family :)
It looks great! I've been researching blog makeovers for over a month. So many decisions! Truly fabulous.
Again, congrats on the book and the new look!
PS Polish your shining armor.
Oh my, I'm laughing over your dear knight in shinging armor. Isn't it always the way, though? One tiny little detail and it has to be on the front page. lol I love your blog and all of your ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You make each day brighter.
I like your hint for the misspelled word.
Shinging armor. Thanks for the giveaway! I especially love your holiday posts.
I don't think I'm using the Amazon card giveaway right because it says I have four entries but clicks to nothing :). I think I have the word though.
Shinging instead of shining. Hilarious!
A knight in "shinging" armor? Maybe "singing" with a lisp? Love your blog! Congratulations on the book--can't wait to read it!
i like the new look as well. and the hints to easy budget upgrades are always welcome. good job!
Looking forward to reading your book! I love how you turned a shinging armor typo into a trophy
The misspelled word is shinging instead of shining. Must be your new word for your shining singing ability!
Always goes that way, doesn't it?!?! Shinging instead of shining 😊
Shinging...could have been a lot worse :)
Knights in shinging armor. So happy for you. I love the redesign!
Love your knight in shinging armor!

I just discovered your blog and I am in LOVE! I've signed up for your newsletter to get updates and am pouring over every post! And thanks for the giveaway. I, too, am a fan of my own knight in shining armor!
We should all have Shinging Armor! Thanks so much for everything you so graciously share with us! Love ya to pieces!!!
Love how organized your new site is. A massive undertaking and, really, just one typo? That is good! So shinging-shining. Great idea to make it a contest!
Don't we all love a knight in shinging armor. :) Love the update on the website.
Congrats on the new web design and book... Shinging armor and all!!!!
This is amazing!! So many things that I love and that are truly amazing...not just "so close". Truly! And that book. My favorite. Every. Single. Chapter. Spoke deeply to my heart. Can't wait for the next one!
Congrats on the new book. Most people will never notice the knight in shinging armor.
Love the new look...shinging armor and all!! Happy, happy!! Joy, joy!! Congratulations!!!
I can't keep up with you! Every time I think "how does she do it all?" I find out you were doing even more than I had thought! I am loving the book and being part of the group. the new look for the blog is amazing too :)
Shinging instead of shining. Too funny!
I love it when something is organized and shinging and shining! Wish you were here helping me clean and organize my closet!
I'll take a knight in shining armor anyway I can get him!!
Put some bling in your swing with a shinging zing!
Love the new look, but nothing was wrong with the former one - except that "shinging" was spelled differently!! Thanks for the tips on navigating, as I could easily get myself lost amidst all of the intriguing choices. Eagerly anticipating the BOOK!
I'm sure your knight in shinging honor is still shining! Love your blog - Jam-packed with beautiful inspiration....
Ever the knight in shining (shinging) armor And the new site is fab Congratulations
I had a friend with ill fitting dentures. When she said the word singing, it came out sounding like shinging - so I think it is absolutely wonderful that you like knights in "shinging" armor - at least you would always know when they were approaching! :)
Shinhing :)
Shinging armor is the new shining armor. Love your blog!
Look forward to your new book and maybe some more stories about your knight in shinging armour!
The new look will take some getting used to but eventually I will love it too. May the sun keep 'shining' in your corner of the world. The spelling error just keeps you human to us. :)
Your knight in shinging armor. Reminds me of shindig. Remember that show? Probably before your time. Anyway, I look forward to each and every post. You brighten my day and I can't wait to read your book.
Shinging...Love the new looks!
Always know that you are a shinging/shining star!! Love the new book & changes!!!
Knights in shinging armor. How funny I've had the same issue on several websites we've developed. Something always slips through the cracks. Easy fix on the backend!
You new site looks great! I love a good knight in shinging armor :) I'm looking forward to reading your book!
Congratulations on your book! You are an inspiration in so many ways....I love how you are teaching your girls, among other things, to not make fun of people...to recognize the preciousness of the person. Blessings.
LOL - "shinging". When I saw this in my email, I first thought... oh, maybe she's changed her hair and a big NO came out of my mouth. Then when I saw this new blog look, I was delighted because it's so pretty. Love the new colors and especially like the Superhero (Category) section! I had decided long ago that if I ever got to meet you in person I was just going to smile from ear to ear, shake your hand and try to control myself. Now I just might have to kiss your shoes... Everything is beautiful!
I love Knights in Shinging Armor! Thank you for all the great ideas. I love your new layout.
I simply adore you!
Things just keep getting bigger and better!!!! So happy for you! And I truly love the book!
I am so happy for you!! You've worked hard for and you deserve all the kudos and sunshine on you. Big Hugs!! I'm so lucky you're my friend.
Shinging armor. Thanks for the giveaway! I especially love your holiday posts and the DIY posts
Shinging, oh too funny. Love your new look!! Can not wait to explore it all.
Your shining armor could use some updating! Who would have thought....ha
Love new Thistlewood Farms! It's that little word shining.
Love the new look and easy navigation!! However, I've looked through the entire blog. Twice, Backwards, forwards, at 200% zoom and even blessed my heart a couple of times but I still can't find that misspelled word. AGH!! I spent 27 years as an Executive Secretary, for gosh sakes, and I had to be such a stickler for perfection. I even used to correct the misspellings and bad grammar in my kids' notes to me LOL. Granted, I've relaxed a bit over the years and have even posted a couple of comments on your blog with misspellings, etc. Now that's embarrassing but I know I can tell anything and you'll still be my friend :-) About the FAQ, please add this: How in the world do you find time to get everything done and keep everything organized??? I've asked you this before and you've answered it but it's still completely mind-boggling to me that you are able to accomplish sooooo much in a day! You truly are amazing!!
Shining...it's the new covefefe!!
knights in shinging armor! HOW FUNNY! i love those knights too! haha
Your knight's armor is both shining and singing...at the same time!!! Love the new format and look forward to exploring in more detail.
LOVE THE NEW FORMAT!!! I love how easy it will be to look things up.
Congratulations on all the wonderful new updates! I love a good story with a knight in shinging armor! 😂 You always make me smile!!
I am easily distracted by shingy things, too. Love the new blog layout. Have great day, KariAnne.
Lol! shining (shinging)😂Lol LOL....shining ( shining)😂
Congrats for the many wonderful things you're doing and sharing. Can't wait to read your book. And, I love the new blog layout!! Hugs!
The word is "shinging". Ha ha
We all need a shinging every now and then :)
Shinging for the win! Congratulations on your new look!
Congrats is indeed in order! Misspelled word - Shinging instead of shining. Love it.
Found the shining but I think Lets Talk should be Let's Talk. Or else it is because my eyes are getting bad and I can't see the print! Love whatever you do!
Into was used instead of on to
Oh to have a knight in shining armor when I need one :) Love the new blog, congrats and much success to you in the future :)
How can we love you any more--we read your book!!!
Hurray for the new look. Me thinks it's shining (shinging).
love your new look! I always enjoy reading your blog!
I love reading you all the time ! I didn't find any mispelled word, firstly, because there was a lot to read and secondly, I didn't put on my glasses ! ..... I'm very happy everything is going well for you ! You deserve it !
Darling, that was "SO CLOSE", LOL! I love the new blog but I loved the "old" one!!! I can't wait to look at in on my desktop (I'm on my cell now)! I have been reading your blog for years now (4?) and I love you!!! Your vulnerability makes me laugh and cry, and wear dangling (right word?) earrings for confidence, too! I lovethe life tips, the decoration tips and the business advice! Thank you, darling, for bring there for all of us!! You are nothing short of amazing... mwah 💋
Love the new blog...typos...ugh...but you always come SHINING through...can't wait for the book. :)
I like the new layout, just need to get used to it! Nothing wrong with a little Shing-ing armor....lol...it doesn't just shine, it "shings" that's way better anyway, right? ;)
You are Shining and so is your blog!
Love the blog make over. Looks great.
I think you are always amazing. Keep up the wonderful love your share. Have a blessed day.
Thankfully the sun is not SHINING today. Been hot here.
Hi Karianne, I'm Pat, I too love chalkboard paint, and crickets and mismatched chairs, but keeping that armor shingling is just. too. much. work! The new blog design looks great, and can't wait to read your book. xo Pat
I love your stories about your knight in "shinging" armour"
Knight in shinging armor
Whew! Looks like lots of work, and looks great! Looked high and low - loved your 'shinging' armor! Look forward to reading your book - hope to win the Amazon card so I can order it along with all the other stuff in my basket!!!
Shinging instead of shining. People make mistakes all the time. I always told my students I was checking to see if they actually read the assignment when I made mistakes in things:-)
Shonging....wondering if it's really a word since auto correct/spell check didn't catch you? Congrats on this new chapter (or chapters!) we 😘
I have absolutely no idea what the misspelled word is but as I'm typing this nearly all of my words have been misspelled. No lie. My fingers have a mind of their own! =P So excited to check out the newly revamped site! Your stories are so cheerful and enjoyable to read- even better I get to read them while at work! =D
Shinging instead of shining, it could happen, LOL, Love your blog can't wait to try all the new changes!!!
Love your blog and can't wait to read your book.
Love your blog! The misspelling I found was "shinging" .... (could be worse!) haha
Shinging. Looking forward to your book.
Shinging......boy you make it hard to find.....but I found it.....have a great day!!!!
I have so many questions - How many projects do you have waiting in the wings and how do you prioritize on which is the next one to complete? Where is your favorite "go to" place for gleaning ideas on projects? What is the biggest DIY project you have ever finished or hope to finish? What is your favorite hidden talent? (mine is chimp mouth/knees - but you have to see it - it can't be explained).
Karianne, can we talk? As a long time reader of your blog, I'm going to say something that won't make me popular. But I'm not crazy about the new look of the blog. I've been following you for several years. Probably right after you started blogging. And I found you through a post on another blog I was following. Yvonne's I think. And from the first click on your site what captured my heart right away was 1) your gorgeous logo (please don't ever change that), and 2) the overall look of your site which so perfectly captured the style of your home. I remember that I saw it, and went, "ahh, yes! I love this home!" You see some of us live in places like Miami, FL, where all the houses are made of concrete to withstand the hurricanes, and have ugly aluminum windows. Definitely not farmhouse. And we dream of having a home like yours. And the old blog had your farmhouse charm all over it, and made my heart sing. And then I started reading your stories, and realized that you have such a unique voice, and you make me laugh and cry and smile every day. The new look is definitely clean and pretty, but kind of contemporary, and I understand that you have many talents and avenues that you are pursuing and that the new site maybe keeps it organized better, but I do feel that a little bit of you is missing in all this aqua and white. To me, it seems to tell a different story than the story of Thistlewood Farms. Now, that's only my humble opinion, which doesn't count for anything. And will I cease to read your blog, of course not. (And I've already pre-ordered your book!). You are definitely a Rock Star, and maybe I'm totally off-base here, but if you should find any changes in blog activity, as a friend, I thought I would offer my opinion. Still love everything you do and the stories you share, and please, don't give up the red lipstick!
Shinging!! Toughie!!!
Love the new blog look. You are a "shinging" star!
Shinging. Now your knight in shining armor is shinging! I'm sure that's a very noble thing whatever it is!
I love your blog! I have been following you for quite a while! I wish I was I had your talent! I'm hoping to learn from you and become brave enough to try something on my own and not look back! Thank you for your amazing inspirational designs!
Congrats!!! On the book, and the new look to the blog!!
Shinging instead of shining 😊 . LOVE the new makeover & blessings on the release of your book! Tracy Nielsen
It's amazing! Love the change.
Shining is your word. If it were me I would have had tons of errors ( and argued with spell check for hours! ;) ) I'm a creature of habit and it will take me awhile to get used to the changes. That said, CONGRATS on the changes! When I see the mistake I'll think there's our Rockstar out there shining! P.s. Spell check wouldn't even let me spell your name!!!
I'm sorry I sent a comment but forgot to mention the misspelled word. shinging should be shining. Thanks
I love that you can find things a lot easier! Thanks for the chance to win $$$.
The OCD in me saw it yesterday and was wondering if you knew it! What a great way to make it right!
I love the new website. Its so fresh and fun and also seems easy to navigate.
Love the change and plan on pre-ordering this book today!
I look forward to your book! It should be a " shinging" example to us all to never give up on our dreams!
I love your new look:) Of course, you are using my favorite color:)
Shinging
Shining, shinging...tomatos, tomatoes :) A little laugh is always a good thing! I love the new layout btw...that has always been a time suck for me, especially when I'm looking for something I didn't know I needed to look for, ha! You're a great inspiration, and some well-needed humility in this crazy world!
Wow! Fancy and so organized! Love it!!!
Yep! I see the shinging! For a minute I thought it was "sweater" in the book promo! Must just be a little smudgy on my computer! lol :-D
It's all about the armor Baby! Looks like you're going to be one very busy lady...good luck with all of it.
The new look is lovely, though no exactly "shinging." :)
Thanks for the site tour. It's not only attractive but well thought out. "shinging"
I think shinging armor should be a new thing :-) The redesigned blog looks great!
How exciting -- a new blog design, upcoming book AND a giveaway! A good day!
Everyone loves "shinging" armor!
Shinging! It was hard for me to find!
shinging hee hee, I like the thought of my husband as being my knight in shinging armour.. sounds melodic in a medieval minstrel kind of way!! love the new look btw
I'm so happy for you and looking so forward to reading your new book. The word shinging was typed but we all knew what you meant to say - HA!
The misspelled word is "shinging". Can't wait to dive into the new blog!
Thanks for all the inspiration AND for this shinging chance to win! lol Maybe another contest with a prize for the best definition of 'shinging'?
Shinging, shining, what does it matter. We know what you meant. You are very blessed!! with your wonderful family, and this wonderful blog you have created. Shine On!!
I read the entire blog page and didn't notice an error, so I started over and there it was, right at the top. Your hubby is a "shinging" knight? Love you, your blog, your projects, your beautiful family, and most of all I love your JOY! Thanks for coming into my day and "shiniging" it up a bit!

Rrafflecopterr
You've added a new word to the dictionary. Shinging. We gals in the south have our own language anyway. So no problem.
Shinging- ha! Thanks for the fun opportunity! Love the new site!
Shinging 😉
I looks forward to reading your book! Shinging- I think you created a new word in the blogging world! I love the new look!
Shinging
I like shinging. At least you did not misspell public. . . . .
Awesome new look, shinging armor and all!
Knights in Shinging armor!! Love it and love you. Can't wait for your new book!!
This looks great... easy to navigate and so bright and shingy!
"shinghing".....is that the noise armor makes when it has been hit......it doesn't sing - it shings????? I have enjoyed your blog for years and now I sure do hope I can learn how to work this new look and not get tooooo frustrated. Jean McGee
everyone is shinging!
The misspelled word is shinging.
I too love knights in shinging armor! Been married to mine for 41 years (at the end of June!) New to your lovely blog! You make me smile!
Oh Karianne! You are truly funny and so real! The word is Shinging! I love the new blog design! It is beautiful and very organized. Can't wait to explore and thanks girly for keeping it real!!
I think there may be TWO.... "LETS TALK" should be "LET'S TALK"...But, yeah, 'shinging armor' should be 'shining armor'. :-)
LOVE the "shinging" new look my friend! xo
The knights need silver polish...their armor should be 'shining' not 'shinging'. Perhaps they're tipsy???
Knights in shinging armor!!!
Signings what the most spelled word should be.
Shining is the word that is misspelled. Your new blog is lovely. Thanks for the contest. Marilyn
Would you believe shinging armor? Ah, too bad!
I love knights in shinging armor, too....congratulations on your book. Sounds like fun, and just like YOU!
knights in shinging armor I like the new modern design of your site.
I knew just who you meant when you called him "your knight in shinging armor."
Shinging :) What a great way to have everyone check out the details of your new look... I
I always say...never leave home without your knight in shinging armor!;)
Well, some knights might have shinging armor...we love them anyway!
Congratulations, Karianne: on your new book. The misspelled word is shinging..
AWWW, your knight in shinging armor! So close to amazing! (So I wrote a post about my daughter's upcoming wedding and said they were going to say their "vowels". I was thinking vows, I swear, but it came out all wrong. Please come sit by me so I don't feel so bad! lol. Love the new look of the webpage. It's amazing, typo and all! hugs, Cecilia
Misspelling: shinging
Everyone needs a knight in shining armour! Your blog is busy but these old eyes will enjoy it only because you are a super star! I missed the error at first but I reread it again and saw it. Looking forward to reading your book!
Your knight's armor always shignes brightly!! Love the organization and can. not. wait. for. the. book.
Shinging!! LOL! Congrats on your book!
If I copy and paste to a word document - maybe I could run "spell check" to see which word was misspelled :)
Fun! Looking forward to navigating the new layout.
What is this "shinging" you speak of ;)
Thank goodness for all of the knights in shining armor ! Where would we be without them? Congrats on your book , I can't wait to read it .
Thanks for a fun blog! Might "shingling" be the misspelled word? Take care and congratulations!
Great fun looking thru your new look and...knights in shinging armor can be a good thing! 😉
The misspelled word is it's which should not have the apostrophe in the possessive case. I thought I'd never find it but did. Thanks for the challenge, I know you did a lot of work with the new blog design but I loved the former one too. I hope to win. Thanks.
It's perfect! Now I picture a handsome knight in shining armor, singing with a rich baritone voice, all the while perched atop a regal horse.
Love the new design for your blog-and your reference your knight in shinging armor. This is great!
What a great system and layout! Way to go, KariAnne! Congratulations! ❤
Knights in shinging armor! 😂
Looks good, and congratulations on your book!
Love love LOVE your blog, I've been a follower for a long time. Enjoy each and every post. Keep on going forward even if you are without your "armor". You are great! Thanks
Shinging! Shinging armor sounds way more difficult. Congrats on your new blog. It is as lovely as your sparkling personality and your sweet soul.
Some days my armor shings too. :) Blog and book look great!
Shinging could be a lot like singing or maybe shining. Goes to show, the devil's in the details -- sometimes. Love the new look and can't wait to read your book.
Shinging armor is the misspelt word, hehehe. Did you know misspelled can also be spelled misspelt?
It's shinging! =) I love your new look! And I really enjoy your fun blog!
I am so thrilled for you, my lovely friend! You had told me you were going to update things and you most certainly did in an amazing way! Maybe the typo was combining shining and singing! LOL Or maybe you created a new word...shinging! Either way, it's ALL good!
Tomatoe or tomato, shinging or shining. I would love a knight in any kind of armor. Thank you for the giveaway!!
Shining...thank you so much for years of inspiration! Also, congrats on the blog outfit change! 😉
Love your blog! The misspelled word is stinging instead of shining.
Everyone's having fun with this, Karianne! Like I said, you have a gift for making something good come from nothing and seeing the possibilities in everything! Even a typo! And the blog looks great, shinging armor and all!
Shinging... feels like something my kids would do lol
Love your blog! The misspelled word is shinging instead of shining.
I don't know if "shingling" was intentional or not, but I like the technique. It encourages close reading! Your new site is awesome!
I really love the new look! I'm so excited for you and all that's happening for you right now. But just be aware of those knights in shinging armor - they're tricky little guys!
Knights in shinging armor are awesome!!!
Shinging armor or not we love our Knights!
thunderstorms & knights in ( shinging ) ====Misspelled armor....sounds like a winner to me ( Shining ) armor I a winner for sure..Thanks....
Wait a minute...I thought shinging was a word!!! Learn a new thing everyday. 😉 BTW...think the drop down showing all the different categories of past projects is the bomb diggity!
The site looks amazing! I'll keep my eyes peeled for a knight in shinging armor. :-) Congrats Kari!! xoxoxo Heidi
I found it - shinging! Love the new design and love all the inspiration you share!
I love knights in swinging armor too!! ❤️
Shinging <3 :-)
The "shinging" word is wrong! Love your blog new and old! Thanks for your candor and humor as well as your creativity!!
The new blog look is amazing! I'd have to say it is shinging!!!
Beautiful new page. You are an amazing person.
Shinging armor
Shinging! Your new look is great! Love to read your posts!
Shinging! Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway! :)
Shinging should totally be a word. Love the new look!
shinging~!!!!!
Shining is misspelled; part of your charm is accepting human error with grace and humor! Your blog is my favorite!! 🙋
Shinging Armor, always love reading your blog and stories.
In talking about your wonderful husband, you used Shinging - the misspelled word. Instead of Shining Armor. Thanks for all your work!
Knight in shinging armor instead of shining....love your blog!!
We all need a knight in shining (not shinging) armour and a $100 Amazon gift card! Thanks for making it not too hard to find. : )
Love the new look - it's all "shinging" just like the armor that my knight wears! You are truly a blessing to many!
The misspelled word is "shining" which is spelled with an extra "G" in the sidebar. Love your writing!
I like shinging armor too!
Shinging - no, no , no shining armor
I need my very own knight in shinging armor. ;) LOVE you Karianne, and love your new blog design!
Love the new Blog!!!
Shinging!!!
Love the 'updated look of your blog and the word is" shinging" armor. A lot of new doors are opening for you., Blessings!
Shinging
Shinging.. Singing / Shining :) Wink~
I LOVE the new look and you already know how excited I am about your book!!!!
Wait a minute, I just had an idea for a new song called, "Shinging in the Rain"! #soclosetocorrectspelling
I like your new look, but have to admit that the top area of the blog is making reading your blog very difficult. It's hard to look at the photos you post. Is there a way to make that header go away? Am I doing something wrong?
It's shinging LOL - so close! ;)
The misspelled word is shinging instead of shining, too funny!
KariAnne, your new blog layout is great! I am really looking forward to getting a copy of your book! Blessings!
I love your new blog! Funny how you mispelled shining and said shinging! I love your sense of humor too!
Shinging armor. I passes over it twice before I realized it was misspelled. I love your stories!
Just recently started receiving ur emails again. Thanks.
Love both versions of your blog, but look forward to finding things more easily with the new version. Shinging should be a word.
Shinging is misspelled. Love your blog!
Ha! Shinging. PS- I love your blog.

I spotted the word: it's shinging! You are such a great writer and I enjoy your blog!
Shinging, shining! Who cares? Just bring on the knights! Preferably on a white horse.
Shinging instead of Shining. ;)
You are so clever!! My husband who never reads any of this stood up to the challange. Big surprise 😍 The misspelled word is right below your picture! Shinging as in shining armor!! Again, how clever 😏 Love your blog. Wish we were next door neighbors. Congrats on your new book!

Singing about the shinging armor!!! Some men just deserve an extra letter!!! Maybe that G is for "grateful" he's mine!!!
Well I missed shinging armor the first time around, because I was so busy admiring your new photo! love it! Hope your book is a best seller!
I think you were trying to spell shingles, not shining.
Usually I can spot a misspelled word right out of the gate, but my editing skills must be losing it's shing. Love your blog!
Shinging armor! (Should be shining) :)
Shinging instead of shining!
If I recall correctly, our "shining" knight does sing to you sometimes!! (I couldn't figure out how to leave a comment in the contest box....sorry)
