And I can say that without irony because I’ve been doing this blogging thing since 2005 and I have less than 300 followers on my personal blog.  It makes me laugh.  Its never been about growing my circle of influence or to follow a formula for success.  I’ve started to feel like a fish out of water these last few years because this blogging landscape has changed dramatically in a short time.  I couldn’t find my niche, my place, in this new world of sponsors, stats, and ratings.  I may have even gotten a bit prideful in the fact that I was still one of the few that hadn’t given in to the pressures of monetizing my blog.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Its been said that pride goeth before a fall…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This weekend gave me a fresh perspective and passion for blogging, on family, on friends, and how no matter the size of our audience, we all have a very specific story to tell.  It’s a story that no one can tell quite like you.  A story that will speak to someone’s heart or situation in just that moment, or in just the right way.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’ve been writing and creating for as long as I can remember.  From a very early age, there’s been this desire in me to pour out all the colors, the words, the thoughts that were spinning in my head.  Even now I feel like have curse because I usually have 10 different ideas going at once.  Starting my blog in 2005 was the perfect outlet for me.  Having an almost-one-year-old, I needed a place to record my thoughts, my emotions, my story.  From the moment I hit publish on my first post, I knew exactly that blogging was going to be an amazing journey for me.  And truth be told, any negative moments in this journey has been significantly outweighed by the positives.  I don’t think I’ll ever look back and regret that I’ve put myself out there on the world wide web.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This weekend was so much more than getting to meet these women that I call friends online.  It was so much more than putting together the perfect formula to build a successful blog.  For me, it was the coming together of like minded women.  Women who have reached out into the internet space and shared their hearts.  For me, it was being in a room of women who “get” me in some way.  Whether its similar, shared experiences as a mother, or discussing colors and patterns and ideas with fellow designers, or women who love the integration of social and media.  I thoroughly loved that there was a spot for everyone.  There was so much empowerment, encouragement, and beauty in this weekend.  It was an honor to be there and I’m so very excited to see what’s born of some of these new ideas in my head.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Thank you to the ladies who brought us all together, thank you for “getting” us, and thank you for believing that we each have a story worth sharing!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8022581516110898723-807095352441369030?l=www.munchkinland-designs.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.munchkinland-designs.com/2012/02/what-blissdom-meant-to-me.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jenn with Munchkin Land Designs)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022581516110898723.post-3186173257162701417</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jan 2012 08:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-24T01:22:05.083-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New Changes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Contest</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Fun Times</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New Designs</category><title>I Am Going, Are You?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Well, if you follow me &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#!/In_MunchkinLand" target="_blank"&gt;on Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, then you know how very excited I am about an upcoming trip.&amp;#160; A trip that will include meeting and connecting with a lot of former, current, and (hopefully) future clients.&amp;#160; There are so many women going that I just can’t wait to shake hands with, hug, and otherwise just get to know face-to-face.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://http://www.blissdomconference.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;

 &lt;p&gt;Next month, I’ll be in Nashville, Tennessee&amp;#160; at a blogging conference called &lt;a href="http://www.blissdomconference.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Blissdom&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; Have you heard of it?&amp;#160; Have you been before?&amp;#160; Do you have any advice for this conference newbie?&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I have so many mixed emotions about this trip!&amp;#160; Some Mommy Guilt about leaving the Littles behind with my husband and family…&amp;#160; Anxiety about whether or not people will actually like me…&amp;#160; Disbelief that I’m packing my bags for 5 days and flying off to a conference where I don’t know a single soul…&amp;#160; Excitement over getting to learn from some leading professionals in the online/internet industry…&amp;#160; And I’m absolutely giddy (GIDDY!) that I will have 5 full days all by myself.&amp;#160; BY MYSELF.&amp;#160; I haven’t had 5 days to myself since before I was married, almost 10 years ago.&amp;#160; To say that I’m looking forward to this alone time is an understatement.&amp;#160; As I tweeted last week, I’ll get to sleep, interact with adults, and actually read, and stuff.&amp;#160; I can’t wait!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you’re going, I’d love to hear from you!&amp;#160; And potentially meet up at the conference!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A few things to note before closing…&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;I’ve added 9 new designs to the galllery!&amp;#160; Be sure to check them out!&amp;#160; Do you have a favorite?&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;I’ve updated my design menu with new features, a new format, and some of the a la carte items have new prices.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;My current design schedule is currently about 4-6 weeks.&amp;#160; We’ve had a recent influx of orders and I’m trying desperately to get back on schedule.&amp;#160; (Y’all know how to keep a girl busy!)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Don’t forget that I’m giving away a Deluxe blog design during a Twitter contest on Monday, January 30th.&amp;#160; I hope you’ll join us!&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And don’t forget to leave a comment if you’re going to Blissdom!&amp;#160; I’d love to meet up with you!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8022581516110898723-3186173257162701417?l=www.munchkinland-designs.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.munchkinland-designs.com/2012/01/ill-be-there-will-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jenn with Munchkin Land Designs)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022581516110898723.post-5655394933162339153</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jan 2012 04:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-03T21:04:42.875-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New Changes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Contest</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Busy Busy</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Announcements</category><title>Its Been a While</title><description>&lt;p&gt;To say that Munchkin Land Designs was busy in November and December is an understatement.&amp;#160; Christmas cards were designed, blog designs were created, and all of my girls (three of them) have birthdays in November and December. Throw in Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I feel like I was on the verge of an anxiety attack the whole time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But I didn’t.&amp;#160; And we survived.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none;

 &lt;p&gt;A few things to note…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;I just sent out emails today to those that have earned Referral Rewards credits towards future projects with Munchkin Land Designs.&amp;#160; If you’re interested in learning more about the Referral Rewards program, you can click on the tab at the top.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Speaking of the tabs, notice anything new?&amp;#160; I’ve streamlined the site a little, took some stuff off the navigation bar and added three new tabs at the top.&amp;#160; Check it out and let me know what you think!&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;I’ve been throwing around the idea of creating a few premade templates.&amp;#160; The Christmas designs were incredibly popular, and a few have expressed interest in some year-round designs.&amp;#160; So stay tuned for the reveal!&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;I’ve updated the Testimonials page with new, recent testimonies from clients.&amp;#160; Their sweet, kind words made my day.&amp;#160; Thank you!!&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;And last, but not least, we’re doing a Deluxe Blog Design giveaway contest on Twitter this month!&amp;#160; Monday, January 30th, to be exact.&amp;#160; We’ll be playing at 7:00pm (MST) and hope you’ll join us!&lt;/li&gt;

I usually like celebrating one holiday at time, especially Thanksgiving because it tends to get lost between all the candy from Halloween and Christmas.&amp;#160; But this year I got caught up in the spirit of the holiday a little early and I’ve been hard at work on Christmas blog designs and Christmas cards.&amp;#160; A sneak peek at what I’ve been working on for my family…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;

   &lt;p&gt;Those have been fun!&amp;#160; And if you want to check out our Christmas blog designs you can hop over to &lt;a href="http://www.biggest-blessings.com/" target="_blank"&gt;my personal blog&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="http://livinginhisfaithfulness.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;this sister’s blog&lt;/a&gt;, or even &lt;a href="http://courtney-startingout.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;this sister’s blog&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But I have a little surprise up my sleeve for the rest of you!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For the first time, I’ve created premade templates for the Christmas holiday!&amp;#160; I realize that not everyone wants to pay for a full, custom design just for a month or two, but still want some festive on their blogs.&amp;#160; We deck our halls and homes, why not our online spaces too?!&amp;#160; And with these premade templates, I’ve made it very affordable to get in the Christmas spirit on your blogs too.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I have 3 separate designs for y’all to choose from, with the option of adding a photo to each one.&amp;#160; The premade templates are $30, with the photo designs costing an additional $5.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To see the live version of the designs, just click on the photo.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" width="740"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

You’ve kept me insanely busy!&amp;#160; So much so that I haven’t had time to get on here with updates on the goings-on with Munchkin Land Designs.&amp;#160; I have much to share with you all, but let’s get to the important stuff first.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;There will be another Twitter contest/blog design giveaway this month.&amp;#160; And its actually going to be Thursday night this time around at 7:30pm (MST).&amp;#160; (If you’re concerned about time zones, just know that eastern time is 2 hours ahead of us and pacific time is an hour behind.&amp;#160; I hope that helps.)&amp;#160; Make sure you follow me on &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#!/In_Munchkinland" target="_blank"&gt;the Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and when that time rolls around, let the scavenger hunt begin!&amp;#160; Make sure your fingers and computer are warmed up because the first one to answer my questions correctly wins a Deluxe Blog Design.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Exciting!&amp;#160; And I hope you’ll join us!&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;I’ve updated the design gallery with 20 new designs.&amp;#160; Whew!&amp;#160; Now you know why I rarely have time to get on here.&amp;#160; I’m including a sneak peek of the 20 designs here, but make sure you hop over to the gallery to get a better look. &lt;img style="background-image: none;

   &lt;li&gt;I’ll be offering a discount on blog design orders at the end of this month.&amp;#160; Details to follow!&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;And some other small, but needed, changes around here. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I know it sounds so cliché, especially since I say it month after month and post after post, but I sincerely am so thankful for your support, you have no idea how much it means to me.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And on a personal note… If you’re interested, head on over to &lt;a href="http://www.biggest-blessings.com/" target="_blank"&gt;my personal blog&lt;/a&gt; to see some updated pictures of our family and of my sister’s wedding.&amp;#160;

It took a lot of pep talks and encouragement from the sisters and Jon to get me to actually open up shop. My sister, &lt;a href="http://courtney-startingout.blogspot.com/"&gt;Courtney&lt;/a&gt;, was especially instrumental in helping me come up with a name and look for my design site. I am indebted to those who had confidence in me, when I did not.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Two years. Still a baby in so many ways, and yet I can’t even begin to wrap my head around all that has happened in these two years. I started out with a basic blog design package, fumbling my way through computer coding. With each design, I ventured into more complex coding and new design features. I never imagined that 200+ blog designs later, I’d be offering Wordpress and website design support.  I have enjoyed being challenged and learning new skills.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I am humbled, so completely speechless, by the support of you all. Each client has entrusted me with a vision and allowed me the honor and privilege of bringing that vision to life. Thank you!  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now on to the giveaway.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;****************************************************&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Drum roll, please. To celebrate the 2 year birthday of Munchkin Land Designs, I’m offering…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;1- Grand Prize that includes an Elite Blog Design and Twitter page background. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;1- Deluxe Blog Design &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;2- $25 Gift Certificates to be redeemed at Munchkin Land Designs. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To enter to win one of these prizes…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MANDATORY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; – You must be a follower of Munchkin Land Designs, and you must leave me a comment letting me know which of the design in the gallery is your favorite design. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;For extra entries…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Become/be a follower of &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/in_munchkinland"&gt;@In_MunchkinLand&lt;/a&gt; on Twitter. Come back and leave a comment letting me know. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Tweet about the Munchkin Land Designs giveaway or mention it on Facebook, with a link back to Munchkin Land Designs. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;For 2 extra entries, blog about the giveaway with a link back to Munchkin Land Designs. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Entries will be closed at midnight (MST) on Friday, July 29th and I’ll announce the winners of the giveaway on Monday, August 1st.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;****************************************************&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But that’s not all. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I have 3- $5 Starbucks gift cards and 2- $10 Target gift cards to giveaway too, sort of like door prizes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Every day this week, I’ll give away one of these gift cards to one lucky person who has entered the giveaway, tweeted about the giveaway, or put it as their Facebook status from that day. &lt;i&gt;(For example, everyone who enters the giveaway on Monday will be included in Tuesday’s drawing. Everyone who enters on Tuesday, will be included on Wednesday’s drawing… all the way through Saturday.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There is no limit to the number of times you tweet about the giveaway or put it as your Facebook status. You can do it every day if you’d like! Just make sure you post the link to your entries in the comments. And check back each day to see if you won one of the daily gift cards.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;****************************************************&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I hope this is a giveaway worth entering, and that I’ve made it as clear as possible. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I have no words to describe how awed I was by the comments from you all!&amp;#160; The entries for this giveaway far exceeded any expectations I had.&amp;#160; And the number of followers increased by almost 100.&amp;#160; Again, I’m just so thankful for your encouragement and support!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’m sorry its taken me so long to announce the winner, but I had to comb through each entry and that took me near forever.&amp;#160; Then I lost the picture showing the &lt;a href="http://fabulousyoungandnewlywed.blogspot.com/"&gt;original winner&lt;/a&gt; and I’m so, so upset!&amp;#160; Grrrr!&amp;#160; Normally I’d just redo the drawing, but I’d already contacted the winner and am waiting to hear back from her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But since I feel bad about not having proof of the original winner, I’ve decided to draw another name and give away one more Elite Design.&amp;#160; So without further ado, out of 140+ entries, the Random Integer Chooser selected entry #40… &lt;a href="http://www.polospearlsandpacifiers.com/"&gt;Stephanie Thigpen&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160;

Its completely different from what I currently have and, I think, its more fun. I hope to have it up early next week.  Which means I'll be taking this site down to set it up. If my site isn't here when you visit, I promise I'll be back soon.  It should only be down for a few hours at the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Wednesday, March 23rd, I'll be hosting a contest on Twitter for a free Elite Blog Design. So if you follow me on Twitter and want to play, we'll be starting at 6:00pm (MST). It'll be the last contest on this old design. See you then!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lastly, to commemorate my new look, I'll be doing a giveaway for a free Elite Blog Design here on the site. **Important** The first person to comment on the new look will receive 2 extra entries for the giveaway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do have some new designs to add to the gallery, but since we're so close to the new design, I'm just going to wait a few more days. I believe that's it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you all had a wonderful Monday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/NewMunchkinDesigns/NewMunchkinDesignsSignature1.png"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8022581516110898723-7609810548836285135?l=www.munchkinland-designs.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.munchkinland-designs.com/2011/03/new-look.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jenn with Munchkin Land Designs)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/NewMunchkinDesigns/th_NewMunchkinDesignsSignature1.png' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022581516110898723.post-4145846359183351219</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2011 05:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-31T08:27:22.767-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Busy Busy</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New Designs</category><title>14 New Designs</title><description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/Gallery%20Pics/February2011Collage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another busy month for Munchkin Land Designs... 14 new designs in the gallery to check out!

For every referral that buys a blog design package, the referrer will receive 10% off their blog design order. So keep those recommendations coming!

Such is the case with one of my recent designs and I've decided to approach it a little different this time around. Instead of losing money on a design that I've already completed, why not offer it to someone who might like to buy it at a discount. Anyone interested?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its a Basic Design package with an added navigation bar, usually costing $55. Instead I'm offering it to one lucky client at $20. If you're interested, please send me an email at jenn (at) munchkinland-designs (dot) com, and I'll send you a complete preview of the design to help you decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll leave you with a teaser of the design...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569357039979814898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSWcwquC2zI/TUpUuFtRX_I/AAAAAAAAAOs/nnIa8fTC-hY/s320/Teaser.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/NewMunchkinDesigns/NewMunchkinDesignsSignature1.png"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8022581516110898723-3587097010240294777?l=www.munchkinland-designs.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.munchkinland-designs.com/2011/02/discounted-blog-design-anyone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jenn with Munchkin Land Designs)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSWcwquC2zI/TUpUuFtRX_I/AAAAAAAAAOs/nnIa8fTC-hY/s72-c/Teaser.png' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022581516110898723.post-4675969198997646250</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jan 2011 05:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-31T08:28:37.798-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Busy Busy</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New Designs</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Announcements</category><title>Its Been A While</title><description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/January11Collage.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize that its been over two months since I've posted on this site, and for that I apologize.  I hate to leave y'all hanging, but I think I have some good excuses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One, our newest little munchkin, &lt;a href="http://biggestblessings.blogspot.com/2010/12/shes-here.html"&gt;Ashlynn Rose&lt;/a&gt;, was born on December 1st.  We've been a little busy with our newborn and helping the older three Littles adjust to having a new baby in the house.  Have I mentioned how blessed I'm feeling at the moment?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And secondly, y'all have kept me BUSY!  As I updated my gallery and looked over the designs I've done these past two months, I can't believe that I completed 25 designs in that time.  Wow!  I'm alternately awed and humbled by the clients that I get to work with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm working on a few more designs that I hope to post soon, and some new projects too.  One of which includes learning the ins and outs of Wordpress and I hope to be able to offer services on that platform too.  Eventually.  I'm a little intimidated by it, but I'm also stubborn too.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And even though I'm posting quick peeks of the designs I finished in this post, I highly suggest you check out the gallery and sites directly.  I hope y'all are having a great 2011!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/NewDesigns-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/NewMunchkinDesigns/NewMunchkinDesignsSignature1.png"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8022581516110898723-4675969198997646250?l=www.munchkinland-designs.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.munchkinland-designs.com/2011/01/its-been-while.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jenn with Munchkin Land Designs)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/munchkin_land_designs/NewMunchkinDesigns/th_NewMunchkinDesignsSignature1.png' height='72' width='72'/></item></channel></rss>
