New Look

My "free" background that I was using for this blog was going to expire after tomorrow, so today I tried messing around with other backgrounds.  After the first 15 minutes I had so royally screwed up my page that I was almost ready to delete the whole blog.  But, I couldn't figure out how to back it up first so that option failed.

Somehow I have gotten it back to "semi" normal, but there are still a few things I can't figure out.

• How do I change the font color of my Post Titles?  When I had the damask background my Titles were in Red, but now they are sort of an orange color and I don't know how to change it.
• How do I change the color of my HTML links?  It used to be that if I clicked on a link in a post or if I clicked on one of the 'blogs I follow" it would turn red to let me know what I had already looked at it.  Now they are turning like a grey color and I can't even see it.

I've tried googling these things for answers, but I can't even follow the instructions given.  I'm being instructed to click on my "dashboard" and then click on "layout" but I don't even have a button called "layout".  This is all so ridiculous!!

Ugh....I hate technology!  I'm surprised I've actually been able to figure out half the things I do on this blog!!

I am in love....

I am in love with a new blog!!!

I don't have much time to do a big post about this so you're going to have to check it out for yourselves.........

Let me introduce Knock Off Wood

If you are anything like me, every month you drool over the new Pottery Barn catalog and dream about the days when you will be able to afford ANYTHING on your wish list. Well, dream no more....this website shares how-to plans to "knock off" those pieces of furniture you fantasize about.

The best part is that Ana shows step-by-step instructions along with diagrams to assist you along the way. I'm fully convinced that I'm going to take on one of these projects (after the wedding, of course)

Ana even has a facebook fan page. Check it out.

My favorite part of the website is the Brag Board. It is here that she features projects from her readers....Knowing that real people like you and me were able to successfully attempt these projects makes me wanna run to the hardware store for supplies.

Here are a few projects from the Brag Board:

Narrow Cabinet w/ Hutch

Hyde Table

Farmhouse Bed w/ Arch

Now go check it out and be inspired!!

New Wedding Website

My ever so kind IT God has created a new Wedding Website for me as a gift for our wedding. It is here that I will be posting most of my wedding posts from here on out. As the wedding date inches closer, it will be nice to have a place to post much needed information for our wedding party, parents, guests, etc.

I will continue to keep this blog for my personal posts about life, weight watchers, etc. And don't be surprised if a few wedding posts show up on here also as I am used to Blogger and still learning my way around WordPress.

So go, check it out and let me know what you think. Did any of you use a wedding site? If so, was it helpful for your wedding party, family, etc?
