Well, I was getting really tired of my blog. Being cheap (lol) i only was doing the basic typepad plan, but decided to upgrade. I looked at blogger (again, being cheap!) but I am totally horrible with html. I plopped a banner up, Jen and I had a good laugh at how bad it looked, and then ran back to typepad. Blogger looks like a great option if you know how to tweak code, but alas, I stay very far away from html!
So what do you think? Easy to read? Hard to read? Too much?
I am hoping by pretty-ing it up it will make me want to post more... wishful thinking!
The banner was made from a carpet runner mock up using a new Kristy Valshan collection (not sure if this collection will be "released" on the site or not due to potential licensing opportunities), and the font used for "Bits & Pieces" is by Darcy Baldwin (it is my own handwriting made into a font - I highly recommend her!! I love the font and used it for Christmas cards, envelopes, journaling on scrapbook pages, etc - Jen used it to address her own cards this year too! LOL!).
That's it for now - Jeff and kids home from grocery store so off to put the groceries away. Have a happy Saturday and thanks for your comments!
great new look! love it!

I like the background of the header, but I think the writing on the label is a bit hard to read- can you make the overlay pattern on it a bit lighter so it doesn't compete quite so much?
I'm too cheap even to pay for the basic typepad- I'll fumble around with the html stuff in blogger every once in a while to do basic changes I have instructions for, but I'm scared of what will happen if I mess with it too much so I just plug along with it mostly like it is LOL!
