Editing HTML....

Oh wee! I have changed my blog around all night, literally. I never get a chance to play around with my blog, not only because of fear, lol, but because it is time consuming. So all night is a literal term I am using here =) I went from having a black, white, and sage green theme using Kevin and Amanda's tutorial (which is great, bty) to using SJH Blog Design instructions and a completely different blog background, which are more time consuming and technical, in my opinion, but becomes easier and lets you get the feel for html. OKAY, so enough with messing with this "junque." I am tired, lol. More to come when I go replace my defective spray paint for my tiered tray =)

Changed my blog template...

This is big news, family!!! I have been scared to mess with my former blog template because it was such a process to make it. I used a different tutorial to do this one and there are still some things that I want to tweak. When I see it on my screen, I can't see the green on the sides until I maximize the window. My old blog tutorial showed me how to scale that automatically despite the window size...but like I said, that was a HUGE project that took ALL day at work, lol. I'd love to hear comments because I saved my old template just in case I feel like I miss it or start to dislike this newer, more simplistic one... Also, the template I used was from Kevin and Amanda.

Wooden Letter Initials... (Con't)

Okay, I finished Kelsea and Kylee's initials for their bedroom. I'm glad they're done with although I think I'm going to make one for my brothers lil girl, Kayleigh (there's a lot of K names in the family, lol). In addition, I played around with the photo editor GIMP, which is a lot like a poor people Photoshop, that is just as nifty =) So I played around with GIMP

and color selecting...

Got this idea from my friend, Amy, over at Crafty ADHD, who also gave me

You're the best, Amy!

Making some more wooden initial letter thingmabob for Christmas =) Sorry about the quality of the photos. I took them with my camera phone...

Wooden Letter Initials...

This is one of my new creations and I LOVE how it turned out! I am planning on making a couple of more before Christmas as presents. I distinctly remembering someone making a letter G (with Grace spelled down it, I think) but, for the life of me, I cannot remember where I seen it. I hate when that happens. Sooo, if by that lil itty bitty chance that blogger sees this,

just let me know =)

Note: InspireMe Crafts was what inspired me for this project =)

'Tis the Season (Con't)

My Christmas decorations have been up since Thanksgiving Eve, lol, but I finally

got them up on Blogger!This is my homemade tree topper. The star was a cheap $1.99 Fourth of July star I got from Beall's Outlet. Pretty satisfied for my first tree topper =)My favorite thing about Christmas is all the ornaments I got from my granny. It feels like I'm hanging a memory for each ornament! I love you, Gern!I made this tree when I lived with Gern, about third grade, I believe. On the back, youo can see where I wrote "I love you mom" and then changed it to "I love you grandmom." You can see I was a gern girl ;) (Side note: I love you mom! =)
