New Look In The Works

I have been blogging since March / April of 2009 and since then I have been desperate to make my blog's look a little more "professional" looking. The original look did not represent me whatsoever and in no way was it appealing to me, so I can imagine how it was for my readers. So a change had to be made.

In the last few weeks, I am sure you have been noticing changes being done to the blog as I tested a few new skills and in part figuring out how I want it to look. In life, I am a pretty simplistic person which is probably why I am so fascinated with the modern look of pretty much everything. Simple, clean lines are so nice! Although. I am a black + white kinda girl but I LOVE me some patterns and many colors. That's what makes designing for me so difficult.

Unfortunately, I had many nights looking at some awesome blogs to get ideas and have clocked numerous hours of research on how to update do some web design myself (saves a little dough). Last night though, it came to me that I was doing it all wrong! I was steering away from "me" and then it hit me! Once I started thinking about my true likes,  I was able to figure things out more easily. Crazy, huh? I do not know how my hubby handles me and my craziness ;). Love him dearly!

I was able to take all my knowledge I had gained from the many tutorials out there to create what you now see. There will definitely be changes deployed in the future but you should now see where my design is going. 

So what do you think of the new look? I hope you like it! Do share your thoughts! And while you are at it, grab a button and share my blog (yeah, I made one of those too).


Have a fantastic week everyone! The Roddys are on vacation and we are lovin' it! ;)
