blog makeover reveal ...finally!

Our blog has been "under construction" for a while now ... But, here is the big reveal!

I've been workin' hard (and my sister E has been workin' hard, if not even harder than me!) on updating this blog of my little family's ... there was tons to learn (and even MORE still to learn) about Photoshop, HTML coding, and other stuff that I just can't think of right now because my brain is so full ... ha! 

Our blog is not completely finished ... a few things I need to tweak still, especially now that I see it all together on the blog.  I did have 1 casualty in the blog makeover process ...I lost all of my "Blogs I Love to Read" list ... so that is still blank, but I'm hoping to get the list going again very soon!

I have learned a LOT going through this process ... this was MUCH harder than I expected it to be ... it took waaaaay more HOURS to get this much of it done than I expected it to be ... BUT I'm excited about the new look ... and now I know more than I did about it!  (Unfortunately, that does NOT mean that you should ask me ANY questions about using Photoshop or HTML coding or really, anything related to Blogger ... sorry!)

I have to give a HUGE ... GIGANTIC ... thank you to my sister E who has spent hours on the phone with me, walking me through things and has created & loaded some of the pieces ... I really appreciate her and all her help!  Thank you, E!

under construction

please bare with me & our blog ... it's officially now under construction ... I'm working on it as I'm learning it ... so, it might be a while before it's all put together again, I'll just be honest about that ... but keep checking in, because I'm still going to be posting!  I've been wanting to learn about digital scrapbooking & making our blog look super cute for a looooong time now, so I'm finally going to get started learning about it ... with my sister, Estee (aka "Auntie E") 's help!

Here's what I'm working on ...
a wider layout (check ... thanks to E for that!  but I had to give up my fun colorful background until I can get that fixed)
a new fun background
a new fun title header (maybe with a picture?)
new labels with cute font
my signature after a post
a posting divider
and I'm sure there is more, but that's the start to my list
