makeover

With every new year, it is time for new things.  It's time for a blog makeover.  Don't get me wrong, I loved the way my blog looked before today.  However, it is time for something new.  Like the first time I beautified my blog, I went to Shabby Blogs.  How did I find Shabby Blogs?  Well, I would have to thank my good friend Harper and her blog, bleak to chic.  I actually got the whole idea of blogging from her.  I was very inspired by her, so Harper if you are reading this... thank you!  Now, getting back to Shabby Blogs.  I went there first because I wanted to see if they had anything new, and low and behold they did!

First I found my traveling background.  I absolutely loved the map and the winnebago.  Then I found my header.  I didn't want anything to colorful because the background already had a lot of color.  I found the unbeautified wooden frame.  To make the header your own, you have to add pictures and text.  It's kind of hard to do that without knowing how to, but thanks to Shabby Blogs tutorials, I was able to figure it all out.  I added my title first, but I found it to be to plain.  I wanted a picture.  While searching the world wide web, I came across We Heart It.  In this website you can search for any picture you want.  I typed in travel, and thousands of pictures showed up.  Next thing I know, my header was finished.  So, I put everything together and finito!  

Background + Header = Finished Makeover
