New Look. . .Coming soon!

Hi everyone! I'm in the process of updating my blog and personalizing it a little bit. I'm hoping that by posting this, it will actually get my booty in gear to make some changes. If I don't, you should hound me about it. I am giving you permission to harass me. Promise I won't obtain restraining orders or anything.

I also would love some input. What kinds of things do you like to see? What should I do more of? Or less of? Don't be afraid to be honest. I post for myself a lot, but the real joy is seeing that people (sometimes) read it. I know my family does. Usually I get the laptop out, pull up my blog, and hover eagerly over their shoulders, licking their faces like a little puppy, until I'm satisfied that they've read everything.

I'm also thinking of renaming it. Unfortunately, while I'm great at sewing and somewhat witty and long stories, I really stink at titles. I think I've spent at least a year of my life coming up with titles for scrapbook pages. Most of the time at crops, I sit around staring and eating M&Ms, trying to come up with something clever and fun. One-liners or less are not my talent. I have to have at least 20 words to come up with something decent, and that's kinda long for a blog name. Please, help me out and give me a suggestion!

Edited to Add:
I'm also going to offer my very first prize. It's easy to win. Just leave me a comment and I will put your name into a random drawing for this purse I made. Drawing will be held one week from today (May 21st).

  1. Gorgeous purse! Just to say I really like your blog layout, a personalised banner goes a long way to making it memorable and scrappers always have such great banners! The only thing I would say if you were thinking about it, is please please don't put a music gadget that automatically starts playing!

  3. I stink at titles too. My blog didn't have one for a long time. I do think a blog banner will go a long way. I also love to see photos on blogs. I think photos draw me in more than anything. After I see them, I want to read more. I would also add the followers gadget to your sidebar. I'm going to follow you now. Your purse is beautiful!

  4. Love the purse.

    I like quick tags on blogs. So that I can jump to any post that has a new cake, or a new hand made dress. KWIM?

  5. Gemma, I admit that I don't like the music thing either, so you are safe. ;) They always take forever to load and I've usually got enough noise around here already. Although I have found some great artists that way.

  10. WOW, it looks great, you already changed it, huh! I like those tags, I'm going to have to figure out how to do that. I'm also going to have to find a way to turn my music off, lol! I know it's a pain, but it's really there for me. There must be a way to have it there, but not ON until you ask it to go on, anyone know?

  13. I like popping in and reading about your scrapbooking, cakes, and crafts. And the kids...great stories; they are very cute. Love your new banner; I think your titles are great. My two cents on music with blogs: thumbs down...I like to web surf and also create in my craftroom in silence.

  19. Ok, so I know I missed the boat for the drawing to win, but what are the odds of me purchasing a bag such as this from you? Also, what size is it?
