MPG will turn 2 really soon and as I mentioned at my other blog, I have been busy preparing for MPG's birthday since I neglected to celebrate hers last year. I was fairly new to blogging then and I admit that I sorta neglected this lovely perfume blog of mine. I am however improving in my posting and have been quite consistent in updating MPG this year. So this birthday, I have to make sure she looks absolutely perfect!
I first did a makeover for MPG back in July but after my recent template makeover for Mariuca, fickle me was set on turning MPG into a 3-column template as well, which I successfully did with the assistance of LadyJava. I must say I made an excellent decision; my new layout was so inspiring that it got me back to posting regularly here! Thank you to all MPG fans who have been quite patient and supportive of MPG, this year especially.
The latest change I made to my perfume blog is...can you see it?? Yup, I got myself a new "refreshed" banner for sweet MPG! I didn't want a change so drastic so I settled on a more subtle look. The thing is I loved my old header and saying good-bye was pretty hard, but I figured my new template needs a new banner and I couldn't possibly leave MPG out in the cold especially when Mariuca herself got a new look!
Naturally, after much thinking and changing my mind, I turned to the Amazing Emila for some header-tweaking and boy, I am so very pleased with the outcome! The new MPG banner looks totally fabulous and though I was sad to bid farewell to my old banner, I can't help but glow in pride staring at my new banner every time I come here! :)
Let me refresh your memory with my previous MPG banner.
And now, let's take a look at the new banner for MPG! I think Mariuca looks even sweeter and demure in this new banner. The content expression on her face is clearly depicted by her wandering eyes that just had to linger over my Perfume Gallery! Oh and I so love my hair here LOL!
I also have more perfume bottles added to my new banner and you can see some of my favourites here like Samsara, White Linen Breeze, Bvlgari Rose Essentielle and Champagne! The bottles look even clearer and real and all this just makes my whole banner complete perfection, thank you Emila! As always, Mariuca is one happy customer whenever it comes to any of Emila's creations.
Now that you've seen my new banner and got a glimpse into the wonder that is Emila, I'm certain some of you out there are dying to get a new banner for yourself right? And if you're like me who doesn't even know how to insert my own banner at the top of my page, worry not for Emila will gladly do that for you; adjusting everything until you are completely satisfied with your new banner!
If you'd like to have Emila's creative touch at your blog with a brand new banner, click Emila's Dolly below and give her a visit! For a very reasonable price, you too will soon be on your way to being all happy and smiley like me when you see your new banner! Oh don't forget to tell her MPG sent you okay? :)
Below are more samples of banners from the creative Emila. Can you honestly resist getting one now? ;)

I remember when MPG used to be so quiet..
Now.. it's as hectic as Mariuca lah!
Congrats on such great traffic dearie!!
But then .. who does not love GP!!!
Pretty soon.. you'll need to change the TC widget to 2000 as well...
Let's talk about Emila's Dolly shall we?
But before that.. I love the "jeling2" look of the new header lah!!!
Really sezy...hehhee
and eh.. got lots more perfume lagi!!
Got Samsara.. got Oh la la!!.. just like your woosh woosh down there!!
I'm sure your next change would have Emila drawing a longer table for all your perfume...ahaks!
And yes.. love the hair too...

And the cheekbone!
and the nose!
ok now the dollies...
what can I say.. I love them all!!

Yelah, i pun takde harapan nak be TC...banyak sangat kerja ni dan dah tak terkejar dah.
I can sponsor a header you know! Let me know!
Hi.
I think the new header is better than the old for all that you pointed out, specially the dollie face expression and hair.
I first found Emila work trough Empty Streets blog.
I love blog design and sometimes I visit her blog. I´m always amazed with her work. I finally asked her to do a Dollie for me.
Cheers.
LJ congrats being the 1st..your are very lucky since yesterday
Yelah Bono...
Very lucky.. hope it can go on and on and on!!
This is my 2nd EC drop for today..hope for better day today.
The new header look more mature and professional..I'm sure most of your FAN will love the new header and will miss the old one.
Woof here too! Loved your new banner, Emila awesome job!
will be back, hectic, hectic woof,puff,puff...
congrates marzie! The new header looks absolutely adorable. :)

Congrats to Emila for her amazing skillz.
And congrats to LJ for her first comment...
AND for knocking my butt down to the #2 slot for commenting.
Slow & Steady...I see how you're playing it lovely lady.
How very exciting for your blogversary, Marzie.
It looks great!!
So...it's almost 3am...and Grandy is trying to comment on both sites at the same time.
I'm afraid I can barely do that while wide awake.
Wait...did I read these comments right? Is LJ sponsoring 1000 EC to the first commenter?
And she was the first commenter?
How does that work??
I must be getting sleepy...things aren't making sense.
Well, LJ. Just know that Grandy is going to take a little nap.
And she plans to wake up with her rally cap on.
You are a stellar adversary indeed, LJ.
Now I know why you are the top commenter for so long.
I guess I only have one day left.
And I don't even watch B&B.
waiting for your page to load ;)
Doing my routine of EC dropping ;)
I am here now at MPG my second drop!!
I wish I had time to stay longer but I am determined to hit 300 drops today!!:-))))
Congrats LJ, on your magnificent comeback and getting to be top commenter.
You knocked Grandy out of her socks with your comments.
