Changes are Happenin’

I’ve been wanting to make some design changes to my blog for a while and I guess there’s no better time than the present!  My brother visited this last week and we worked on my new design.  It is a lot cleaner and elegant.  I’m really happy at how it is turning out! (Hopefully you are too.)

So with the changes and the new year, I have made a decision to LEARN my camera and actively take better pictures.  Most of the time pictures are an after thought.  He gave me a few lessons on my camera and editing AND boy does it make a difference.  NO MORE AUTO MODE.

Here are some photos from our “photo shoot.”  I think I’ve come quite a way in just a few hours.

I will say that it takes more time, but seeing the results I think it’s worth the extra effort.  BTW, I will do a whole post about photo editing soon…I still have SO much to learn but what I do know might help you.

My hope is to have a “SHOP” built into my website, which I’m in the process of working on.  It will take a while because I will have lots of leg work to do.  BABY STEPS!

Yesterday, I found out that my wonderful friend, Michele had passed on the Liebster Blog award to me. Michele and I met in college and have been close friends for about 10 years.  She lives in Texas with her husband and two of the most adorable boys.  I shared a little about her and our relationship here.

And the Liebster goes to…
