Playing with my Blog Design

Happy Monday Everyone,

I think it might be a few more days till I get my energy back but I'm on the mend.   I did find enough energy to make myself a new header..  Those of you who come here often know I change it per season and often per holiday:)    I've worked in graphic design for 7 years and never tire of it.. Always something new and different with each piece of art.. At least thats how I think of it, as Art.

  I made this tag free button for this template design,, this will go on my sidebar...
  Still trying to decide if I want to use a divider..

What do you all think- do you like dividers used in a post or are they distracting?
 How do you feel about changing the blog design and colors?  do you like things to stay the same or prefer to see something different when you open a blog you've been to before..  Its ok Be honest, wont hurt my feelings either way:)  

 Your visits mean a lot to me so of course I want to put on my prettiest clothes and offer you a lovely space to spend the time in while you're here..

   There are tutorials all over the net for making headers , so I'll just say this.. If you try and any part of it gives you a rough time, email me.. I usually know a way to get,  Over- Around or Through that type of issue and just might be able to help you get where you want to go..

 thanks for stopping in to visit. you know I love it when you're here..
Happy Fall Ya'll

Sonny's Sick

 I must have caught a germ when I was over visiting with Marty , giggle.

 I felt it coming on yesterday and doubled up on my vitamins, did all my grandma's cures , alas, to no avail.. Well I guess I shouldnt say that cause without that I might be a lot worse.

  I got around to about 20 of your Copy Cat posts at DebbieDoo's party and as soon as I feel better I'll make it to the rest.. I loved what all of you did and maybe I can participate next time.
No worries, I sprayed my blog with lysol so read quick and then get out.. lol.. Wouldnt want ya'll to catch anything..

Ya'll take good care of yourselves and I'll be back in a few days...

Fall Inspiration 2

 I see these photos and just have to share them with all of you.  From what I can tell  many many of us are in LOVE with Fall , so the more ideas and inspiration we get, the better..

I'm fairly certain these was done with some sort of burning tool, but I also think you could stencil whatever design you liked on them in a contrasting color.  

I am more of a neutral Gal , so these are right up my alley..  love the subtle tones of these as well as the designs used...

Simple and slightly rustic, to my eyes anyway..  I can see this tablescape being done in several of my friends homes.. It would suit their decor style perfectly..

Again, this is more Me and I will most likely try doing a version of it on my sofa table in the living room.
  When I do these white pumpkins I'll also be sharing how I make my own version of  chalk paint:)  I used it on my headboard- nitestands and wardrobe in the bedroom.I still have to get some dark wax and get that part done but I LOVE IT  . Also need to finish my fall bedding, so I can show it off, too..  so much I want to do and so little time- sheesh.. 

I have 2 terrific custom built window boxes.. Too bad I never seem to get out there and decorate them ..
Maybe this will be the fall I get it done, cause I sure would love for them to look anywhere close to this beautiful sample photo...

OK, no more excuses.. Surely, I am crafty enough to paint plain stripes on a pumpkin-- Right??    giggle

Last but definately not least... oh what a dream come true to have some version of  this on my front porch.. 
 Maybe some hot cider in a large thermas and pumpkin muffins in a basket.. Wave at the neighbors to come on over and sit a spell, grab some refreshments and tell their favorite childhood story of Fall.. 
 yep , yep, I think thats just what I'll do one of these evenings after it start getting cool at night in NC.
  You are ALL welcome to stop in too.. I'd love to have you for a visit and a chat.

 Thanks for visiting..   I love your company and look forward to it bunches..
Sonny
