Face Lift!

If my blog looks a bit different to you, well then, HOORAY!  I feel really good about the new look of the blog, and I really hope you love it too.


This photo is the inspiration behind the bear I'm working up.  I'm trying my best... I hope it pans out... it also reminds me of my incredibly cute nephew for some reason...

I'm thinking about initiating a craft swap.  Leave me a comment and let me know if you're interested.  I think it could be a lot of fun.  :)

    I would looooove to participate in your craft swap!! Details please!!

    Also, LOVE the way your blog looks, I've been wanting to make my blog 3 columns for AGES but everyone keeps telling me I have to pay someone to make that happen cuz it's really complicated.

    Is that true, did you have someone do it for you, or did you do it yourself?

    Craft swap! Most definitely. Have you ever done one before? If you haven't, just be sure that you set very specific "MUST BE FINISHED BY" and "MUST BE SHIPPED BY" dates. When people don't adhere to them, things end up getting sent out a month late. It's such a good idea though! (yours, the craft swap I mean; not sending things out late, haha)

    If you asked about my blog: yes I did it myself. I'd offer help, but I'm not great at all of that stuff. I basically just found what I wanted to change by going into the html and changing those things, and then I Googled 3 column layout for blogger to get the coding. Hope that helps!
