I figured for a new blog, there was no reason to not go for a whole new (okay, it's similar but revamped) look, as well as a new URL. After a lot of help from my friends that were here, some unreadable notes I jotted all throughout a notebook, looking at which of my picks already had their URL's taken, and then a glass (or two) of wine later...I came up with busy gypsy. 
From the start, I knew I wanted it to be two words and I really wanted to have the word gypsy involved. It's not something that many people have, and it's the first 'term of endearment' Ryan ever called me. Between little gypsy, my gypsy, and gypsy lady, I fell in love with him, and the name as well. Here's a list of some that didn't make the cut, but landed a spot in my notebook- 

  • The Abstract Corner
  • The Abstract Gypsy 
  • Gypsy Corner
  • Gypsy Caravan 
  • Gypsy Collective (this is the title of my Tumblr now) 
  • Imagine/Imaginary Gypsy
  • The Minimal Gypsy
  • Books before People
  • Busy Gypsy: A Lifestyle Blog
  • Gypsy Soul (my favorite, but a blogger that hasn't updated since 03 already had the URL) 
  • Gypsy et Tea
There are still some things on the site that need worked out; I'm not happy with the overall appearance, I want a header, and am going to be throwing some buttons up for sponsorship soon as well. Right now, being that this is a new blog, I am more interested in getting down content, and working out the design a little later. Take a look in the 'daily reads' section later in the week because I'll have it all updated. Now it's after 3AM and I have to be up early for work so I am going to close out of my Chrome windows (finally!) Hopefully you guys all head over to Twitter to participate in #blogbrunch tomorrow! Hopefully I have a little bit of time to get involved before I head over to work. Otherwise I'll be waiting until next month ): Out of all of these, leave me a comment with which one was your favorite name. Was mine a good choice? Do you have any better ideas? Let me know! I'd love to hear. Also, do any of you guys know anyone that makes up good headers? I don't really foresee myself ever taking the time to make my own since it's one of the few things graphically that I am never ever happy with my results. ):
