Boy this is work!! I am trying to give my blog a cute face lift. I can't seem to figure out how to center the header. I have followed all the tutorials that came with this header and still have a non centered header I just don't get what I am doing wrong.   Anyway I hope me changing my blog doesn't trow anyone off I am not quiet happy with the results so I will continue to change things around please be patient with me.

Thanks and Have a Blessed Day!

Sneak Peek!!




I am busy working on a new piece for my room 
and decided I would share a little sneak peek into my little project.
 I am working this week with an old wooden pallet. 
My husband uses them occasionally for his side jobs
 so I confiscated one for myself shh shh don't tell him ;) 
Make sure you stay tuned in to see what it turns out to be.

Hope you are having a great week!!!

Helping to spread the word!!


The following post came from:




Linky Follow Tool


Google is discontinuing Google Friend Connect this March 
for all platforms except Blogger. It is also a strong rumor
 that they will also cancel GFC for Blogger  in the near future.

Some of our terrific Blogging Friends got together
 and contacted Brent, the man behind Mr. Linky.  
He has created a new Linky Followersplatform 
on which we can connect with each other.  
 I’m still using GFC  since I’m on Blogger, 
but I think this is a great new tool to have 
 to stay connected with non-Blogger friends and, 
who knows what may happen to GFC in the future.

It's easy to sign up, you just follow his clear instructions. 
 Plus, you don't need a blog to sign up either. 
 Brent’s  service is free and he has included some neat options:
  • View the blogs you follow
  • Read follower posts from your list or on a scrolling feed
  • Group your followers
  • Mark your favorites for quick access and viewing
  • Plus, it’s much easier to follow back someone who is 
  • following you (unless you use the "random" set up
  •  on how you want your friends pictures to appear) 
  •  I choose the newest to appear at the top.
  • Plus you can even "feature" a blogger!

    Non-Blogger users will not be able to transfer 
    people from their GFC followers and will lose
     all of their Google Friend Connect friends.   
    Don’t take a change of losing your followers 
    when GFC goes away for non-blogger platforms. 
     Sign up for Linky Followers now and give your
     followers have the option to follow you this way. 
     This also offers your followers who are
     not linked to Blogger an alternative.

    Another important thing, Linky Followers won't 
    ask you or your followers to sign up for any unneeded 
     or unwanted service, and Brent isn't using or selling
     the private information collected from use of his tools,
     unlike Google, Facebook, Twitter, Etc.  Who needs
     another service to spread your personal information all over the web?


    You can  use the link above or the link at the bottom 
    of my Linky Followers gadget on the sidebar to take
     you directly to Brent's service.  After you sign up,
      won’t you please sign up to follow me in the new
     widget on my sidebar, right under the Followers 
    widget, just below  the Google Friend Connect sign-up.  
      You may also opt to sign up on GFC, if you are still
     affiliated with Blogger.   I’ll be keeping 
    that for as long as it’s available.

    Layout fun!!




    Here are a couple of layouts that I created yesterday. 
    I have really been slacking on my scrap booking 
    since I have been more focused on my room redo.
     So I decided to get a few layouts done
     to try to catch up with some of the mountains of pictures I have. 

    Hope you Enjoy!!

    Have a Blessed Weekend!!

    Fun Finds


    My Glass Cloche's and fun finds.
    I am a lover of the grunge look as well as things with a vintage side.
     Here are a few fun finds I have found recently. 




    Here I have placed under a glass cloche, 
    a few old metal door knobs and a wooden ruler
     I opened up to look like the letter M to represent our last name.


    Under this one I added a couple of vintage wooden spools, 
    some vintage crochet trim and some wooden letter press letters.
