This New Year hasn't exactly started off Great but I know it is going to be my best year ever no matter what... I refuse to believe the best is behind me ;) My Nana passed on January 1st and that is a sad way to start the new year... here is the last photo I could find of us together and it was almost 20 years ago. When I looked at it ( although I have seen it before ) I was shocked to see for the first time how similar our faces are. I never really thought we looked very much alike.
I redid the "look" of my blog after over a year of looking at the last color scheme... I'm not totally thrilled with it but it will have to do for now.
I received a request from a blog reader to do a "Heritage" Series and thought that was an amazing idea. Over the holidays I began trying some things with the color palette that was used by SAS back during the Birthday Celebration a couple of months ago ( week 3 of the designer contest ).
I used elements from my new Heritage Series for my blog header. I am not sure how long this series will continue, however, I still plan to do the occasional Color Challenge as I find time.
LINKS AND PREVIEW REMOVED
I'm off to pack for a funeral which will be on Monday way up in Pennsylvania which is a Thousand miles away.
Grace & Peace
