It's "Rebecca Rocks Day" at Carole's Thoughtful Spot!
Welcome to Rebecca Rocks Day! Rebecca is a wonderful friend I met through blogging at Entrecard. Out of the kindness of her heart, she took pity on me - a newbie without Photoshop or blogging experience - and not only has given me helpful advice, but she also redid the header for this blog (did you notice how about a month ago it changed and looks COOL now?), AND she totally helped me with a new blog I wanted to start. She super-tweaked a template I picked, edited graphics, and she made an AEWSOME header for it, and best yet, she didn't do ALL of it herself - she typed up tutorials for some of it so that I could do it myself and learn. And I learned SO MUCH from her.
I begged her for a way to repay her - I just couldn't have done the other blog without her help, and I didn't even have the means to make nice headers, but Rebecca, being the super nice person she is, said she did what she did for me as a friend, no "payment" necessary.
Isn't she awesome?
So, the only thing I could think of to show her my appreciation was to throw her a party and tell the world how great she and her blogs are! So please, go visit at least one of her blogs and if possible go ahead and leave a comment. (Feel free to throw in "Rebecca rocks" in your post if you feel so led. :-)
