The denisebrain theme-o-matic!
You know how I do monthly themes? Maybe you don't...If you read my blog I always mention my monthly themes, and you can also find the current month's theme at my web portal, denisebrain.com. I sometimes decide on a theme that becomes my vintage clothes sales strategy for the month (for July it is white clothing and accessories), other times it is more vague.
I've always kind of hated to see the themes go at the end of the month, so I've now got a handy dandy theme-o-matic which has favorites from the past couple of years.
Try it out here.
