New Theme, and Hedgehogs

This post doesn’t have anything to do with hedgehogs, I just think this photo is freaking awesome. We’re experimenting with a new theme on philipandjenny.com, one that hopefully will work side-by-side with jennycain.com. The theme base is Mystique by digitalnature. It has a ton of options!

Delicious Library
