Oh, and Another Thing...
On Monday I will be changing my blog name to "Cup Sized Cake". I will no longer be showing up on your blog feed as "The Violet Reaction"! Just wanted to give you a heads up so you don't have a panic attack when you can't find me on your blog feed. Because I'm sure you look for me every day. Right? Riggghhht?

Updates and Giveaway!
First, I just want to let you know that I'm sponsoring a giveaway on my cousin's blog. There will be 2 winners of the giveaway... one will get a wire rose ring and the other will get a butterfly ring. It's super easy to enter, so head on over and check it out!
Second, you have probably noticed some changes here on the blog. I have a new banner and buttons, a lighter background, and I'm bidding adieu to a few things, namely Music Monday, Here Not There, and Good Reads.
Music Monday is ending because it's fulfilled its purpose. I had some really awesome music I wanted to share with you guys and I did that, so instead of going broke buying new music to share every week, I'm going to leave it as is. You can always find past Music Monday features by searching "Music Monday" in the search box. If I ever randomly come across a great new artist I'll be sure to share, but it will no longer be a regular feature.
Here Not There is ending for 2 reasons. Reason One is that it took a really long time to make the posts for it. I had to find duplicate items, save all the images, combine them side by side, put prices on them, and then put them into a post. It took forever. The second reason is that I almost always ended up buying something when I spent that much time looking at pretty stuff online. I've been spending too much money lately, so I'm hoping to significantly cut back on the time I spend drooling over ModCloth, Ruche, and all the other online shops I love. As with Music Monday, you can search "Here Not There" in the search box for all theold posts, but I will not being doing any new ones.
Good Reads is not actually ending... it's just migrated to the sidebar as a blog roll instead of its own page. I will be adding more blogs to it later, but I won't have as many listed as I did on the Good Reads page. There's about 100 thousand blogs that I love and I wish I could list everyone, but unfortunately I won't be able to do that.
Well that was probably more explanation that anyone actually needed, but oh well.
Third:
Gorgeous. Absolutely perfect. I love it.
Not gonna lie, though, I'm kinda mad at her. See, I've always wanted my wedding dress to have long sleeves, possibly lace ones. I know that's pretty old-fashioned, but that's kind of why I liked the idea of it. But now that Kate wore this dress, you just know every one and their mom is going to want to get married in a dress with long, lace sleeves and within a few years this style will be totally worn out. Not cool, Kate.

A Few New Things
1) I made a blog button! It's pretty basic and I'll probably end up changing like once a week since I get bored with things quickly, but feel free to 'grab' it and put it on your blog if you want to. Also, I wasn't sure about the size it's supposed to be... I realize 200 pixels might be kind of wide for some blogs so I may eventually make a smaller one as well.
2) My Music Monday page got a face lift!
Before:
After:
I had far too much fun making little buttons for each of the bands. If I turn out to be a bad fashion designer I guess I can always design blog buttons for a living, right? Anyways, check out the real deal by clicking on the Music Monday button just below my banner at the top, or by clicking HERE.
And if you're wondering what that freaking awesome font is called, it's Budmo Jiggler and you can use it 100% free on picnik.com.

Blog Changes
Making changes to my blog is so much easier than it used to be now that Blogger has a proper layout editor, so the past few days I've been making some minor tweaks here and there. You may or may not have noticed, but I:
-Changed the banner.
-Added a background.
-Changed the font.
-Changed link colors
-Moved my links from right below the banner to the side of the page.
-Made buttons for my links
-Changed the size of my Etsy Friend's ads. More will be added as they come in, as some of my Etsy friends are taking their sweet time making their ads :)
-Added divider lines between posts and between the post area and the sidebar area.
If you absolutely hate anything, let me know because I'm not opposed to changing stuff. But I hope you don't hate anything, because that would be sad. :(
ETA: It's come to my attention that some people can't see the background because of the screen size, so if you can't see it I'm sorry! Nothing much I can do about it, though, as I quite like having a wider post area.
