Tutorial: Creating a Blog Header and Blog Button using Pixlr
May 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
After I have picked a color pallet and gathered some images, the first thing I design is the header. In my opinion it is THE most important design element on your blog. It is the first thing everyone looks at on your blog. Having a nicely designed header gives your blog a more professional, or attractive look. I know some of you may have read that looks don't always matter when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization), and that it is all about content etc. Well, I am here to tell you this is not 100% true. I work for a company that rates web pages that show up in … [Read more...]
Whatever Wednesday – May 1st
May 1, 2013 by 3 Comments
It is May everyone! Just thought I would inform you of that fact in case you didn't know. Seriously... how is it may already. Anyways.... Last week we decided to take a family day and head to the zoo. I love going because it is always a great chance to take pictures. Here are a couple that I got. Right as we came up to the lions, one of them gave birth! A complete surprise to everyone. Normally they have the lion in a room when she shows signs of giving birth, but she had this little cub out in the enclosure. It was very neat to see how all the other lions reacted. They were … [Read more...]

April 29, 2013 by Leave a Comment
*This was a tutorial that I originally shared on another website* Today I am sharing a GIMP tutorial with you. If you don't know, GIMP is a great, free option when Photoshop is just not something you can afford at the moment. Once you figure it out, you can pretty much do all the same things in it that you would do in Photoshop. Today I am going to share a video tutorial on how to re-create my Chocolate Cream BW Action in GIMP. Here is a before and after of the action: And here is the tutorial: This was my very first video tutorial, so hopefully you were able to follow. … [Read more...]
Whatever Wednesday – April 24th
April 23, 2013 by 1 Comment
I thought today I would share a couple older pictures of mine. What is Whatever Wednesday? There are a lot of Wordless Wednesdays out there. Well I have Whatever Wednesday, the weekly link-up where you can post whatever makes you happy, or something you just want to share. The rules: There are none, however it is always nice if you could do the following things: 1. Try to stop by some other blogs and leave a comment. Comments make us bloggers feel good 2. A link back to my website would be nice, but it is not necessary. Want a button? I don’t have one at this … [Read more...]

The website is still a mess since I got hacked (okay maybe mess is not the word, but I still have a lot of work on it to do). However I really wanted to post something, so why not start with Whatever Wednesday. Before the link-up thought, I just wanted to say thank you for all your kind words! You have all been very sweet and understanding. I am hoping to start getting tutorials and stuff up next week. Until then, here are a couple of spring photos: What is Whatever Wednesday? There are a lot of Wordless Wednesdays out there. Well I have Whatever Wednesday, the weekly link-up where … [Read more...]
I Got Hacked
April 11, 2013 by 8 Comments
Hi Everyone... So if you didn't see my Facebook or Twitter updates yesterday then you did not see that my website got hacked. It was kind of messy.. and since I have had my site crash a few times over the last month I decided it was just time to start fresh. It sucks.. a lot of work is gone.. All those tutorials... gone... The blogger eCourse... gone ... But I feel that it was the best decision to trash is. I have no idea how far and how much code the hack put into the old site. I just don't have the time to sift through it all, so I deleted it. This means a new WordPress … [Read more...]
