You may have noticed that the blog is going under some cosmetic changes. I've wanted to change it for a long time now and make it more my own. I finally got a good stylus and so I don't feel like I'm drawing with my elbow. That is why I stuck to simple changes and things that were easily manipulated. Now I'm learning how to use Procreate (a great little program that only costs a few bucks at the iTunes store). I have a lot to learn, but I have had fun and decided to replace some things. I do hope you like!
Change in the blog header:
I think this will reflect better the direction it is going. I also could not put my pup somewhere in the header. The little monster would have made it but I started designing it before I had her. I also thought it would be too crowded but I may put the monster in a post header. Not sure yet.
Some of my post headers will have changed:
You've seen this one already and I have more coming. I may end up tweaking it here or there so I will share as I get to them. Some are already up on the meme page.
I also changed my button. The other picture is still active so it won't reflect the change until you use the one I've provided. Thank you for those that have used it.

Oh and speaking of buttons. I only have a couple of people who haven't moved from photobucket and I think the rest are updated. I hope I haven't missed anyone. If I have, I apologize.
Yea, I already see things I want to change but I think I will leave it until I get more done or if it bothers me too much. Whichever comes first. LOL
Well, I do hope you like the direction the blog goes. I know not everyone will love what I will post but you never know when something may suddenly seem interesting. Here's hoping!
💐
Wow you are awesome :D

DeleteUgh, Photobucket! But because of them I completely re-vamped my site. Love your new drawings - you are really talented!
ReplyDeleteJen Ryland
Thanks! I was lucky that I didn't have too much on photobucket and had only recently started using them.
DeleteLoving the new look, Melissa! So impressed that you're creating these headers yourself!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks!
DeleteCool new graphics. Not a bad job at all! Looks completely professionally done. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteRebecca @ The Portsmouth Review
ReplyDeleteLoving the job you've done. I so admire how professional it does all looks, that you aren't reliant on bog-standard graphics.
Aw thanks!
DeleteI think the changes are cute. I know I have a lot to update on my blog, mainly review pages with updated links. I just don't have the time and when I do, it's the last thing that I want to do. LOL
ReplyDeleteYea, I started a review page but decided they could just search which would be easier. I have too many reviews to keep me sane when trying to do that. LOL
DeleteI love it, it looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great that you're changing up your blog on your own! The new designs are very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading,

Thanks!
DeleteIt looks amazing. Great job.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
Thank you!
DeleteLooking good! I really love the arts and crafts one. I don't know what photobucket is? Or what button?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Photobucket is a photo sharing place that had encouraged blogs to use them in that way before they changed their policies and decided to charge their way out of personal blogger's lives. :) Buttons are just a small advert like icon that leads people to your blog. :)
DeleteSO pretty! I love the new look. I hope you enjoy it. I need to update my blog, but I have to pay someone b/c I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I bet you could do it if you are cheap like me. LOL
Deleteoh I love this, super cute :D I love that you used a dog on your logo, makes it true to you
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's my boy! :)
DeleteOh I do love these new graphics! And it's so cool that you made these yourself too :)
ReplyDeleteTHey are looking great Melissa!
ReplyDeleteLove the changes...and of course pup needed to be included!
ReplyDeleteYep. I'll have too figure out how to add monster dog. LOL
DeleteOh I love the new blog header. And the post header. Nice! :D
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Mel!
DeleteI can't believe you designed the new graphics! They're lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNicely done, Melissa!
