Apparently I have adoring fans who are begging for more posts. I'm not one to disappoint (well, I guess I do sometimes) so here I am. For living in the middle of no where I sure feel like I'm busier than I have been in a long time! There's always something going on. And that means my cute little blog gets neglected.
The last few hours have been a bit rough. But the kids are finally down and I'm de-stressing by laying in bed with my computer, a tall glass of Dr. Pepper, and some chocolate. Ahhhhh!
I've had a few people ask about blog backgrounds. So, while I'm no expert, I thought I would share what I do know. There are a few ways to create a different background for your blog. I've combined the tips I've come across to make my own backgrounds. The first and easiest way to change your blog is to use backgrounds that are already made like from Pyzam, Leelou Blogs, and Cutest Blog On the Block (to name a few). Or you can go to SJH Blog Design and learn how to use digital scrapbook paper, or really any image, as your background. It requires altering the HTML code of your blog, but the instructions on these blogs are very easy to follow. Another way to make your own background is to use a program like Corel Paint, Paint.net, or Photoshop Elements to actually make your own virtual paper. By this I mean taking the paint brush and going crazy with whatever you want to create (on your computer). This is what I finally figured out and I am super excited about it! The Cutest Blog On the Block has a few tutorials on how to do this. If any of these instructions are too complicated, just let me know and I can try to explain things better. I've discovered that I really like designing and am having a lot of fun trying new things. I actually submitted three of my designs to Cutest Blog On the Block and they are now part of their collection. See if you can find them, their names are "White Linen" which is the one I am currently using, "Brownie Blue", and "Pink Sherbert". Cool, huh? I'm thinking of starting a new blog with my blog designs (anyone want to think of a creative name to call my design blog?) Anyway there you all go. Have fun!

No, no pay. But it's fun to share sometimes! I like Tiffy Toos Blog Designs. I can't imagine any other blog having that name. i've been busy because we went to town and met mom and dad on Saturday for dinner. Then we had a busy Sunday with the farewell and a mini reunion. Then we went back to town on Monday and had a bunch of errands to run. And then I came back today with the kiddos and a car load of crap (i.e. all of our food storage that's been in storage.) Blah!
thanks for the blog info. keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! I have been wondering where everyone was getting all of their cute blogs! Your designs were SO cute!
