Merry Christmas

And what better way to kick off the Christmas season than with a new blog design?!? Honest Abe is standing over my shoulder though so I need to give the credit where credit is due. This means that I need to give a shout out to my cousin Brittany because she re-did hers and I LOVE it!!! In fact, when I went looking for blog backgrounds that were Christmasy her's was the only one I liked. (Something about great minds comes to... uh, mind...) lol! Anyways. Then, I decided to actually CREATE my own banner at the top! For my birthday last year, my mother-in-law gave me Photoshop Elements. I love it, I'm just not very good at it yet. I spent about 3 hours figuring out how to place the pictures, edit them, add text, add shadows behind the text (so very cool and my new favorite computery thing to do!) and then saving it, changing the blog... blah blah blah. Long story short (trust me, it's a much longer story than this) here is my new blog design with my banner design! Love it! I'll post again later with pictures of our house all decorated for Christmas!!! (Have I mentioned that I like Christmas a lot?)

Also, my blog posting section has new features so I just randomly decided to try this one. It's called a 'jump break.' I have no idea what that means. I guess you do because you're looking at it...

Ok. I previewed my blog. A 'jump break' is the same as hitting 'return' on your keyboard. I guess. At least that's what it looks like to me. Just in case you wanted to know.
