Well I found the best site for those of us who would like a new look, but can't afford the facelift! You can click on the little box at the top corner of my blog, or just go to The Cutest Blogs on the Block. There are tons of free, and yes I said free, blog backgrounds. You can also sign up for a facelift, but this costs and there is a waiting list. However, I am sure it is TOTALLY woth the wait!
By the way they also make photo cards too! There are many different blog design secrets and tools there too! Go check them out!

New Look!

Look what I did!
Okay, I know it is not much, but for me it was an effort! I use to like being all "crafty", but for the last several years, okay since Timothy's birth to be exact, I haven't felt much like doing crafty things. Every Christmas I say I am going to do something with all those extra limbs we cut off our tree, but I NEVER do, and I am sure when I told Carlton I was going to save them, he probably rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever" to himself. But I proved to him and myself that I could get it done!
This was my first ever attempt at a wreath....nothing elaborate, just a simple metal ring, some floral wire and a bow that took me longer to make than it did the wreath! (Did I tell you I am not THAT crafty!)
Then there was all those limbs still left, so I had to do something with them....so I took a vase, put a bunch of them in it, placed some water in it and put a bow around it. (This bow was much more simple...just like tying a shoe!) I put it in our half bath. As you can see there isn't much in there....we still haven't found "the right mirror" for that room.....who am I kidding, we will be lucky if one ever gets put in there. (no really, we did finally decide to take some glass from the garage and get it cut and framed for that room.....just waiting on the money to do that with) Anway, after I loaded these pictures I did realize that I need to go home and move it a little....the pine needles look like they are poking into the plug!!!! Maybe I should go do that now! That is if my house is still standing!
Anyway, that is my latest attempt at being crafty! hope you like!
