I like the new format – very easy to peruse and decide what link to follow.
Enjoy the new format!!
I love this new layout! I like that the pics coordinate and I can click directly if I see something I love instead of scrolling through the whole post. Not that I wouldn’t cuz there’s too many great things not to just scroll, but it makes for a great place to start

LOVE IT!!! Makes things so much easier to find, at least for me. Keep it!
I always love your tips, have saved and used many things.
Thank you so much,
