Check out my Slide Show!

I was bored, so I thought I would play dress up with my blog and add some cool new accessories to dress it up a bit. The first is my slide show you see above. I also added all the links to the tasty food blogs I frequent. I also created a widget for my blog which feeds all new posts and added some buttons as well. My blog is pretty boring...I know...so this is a small attempt to liven it up a bit.

I've also added this cool slideshow to the bottom of my blog, but I don't think everyone always scrolls down to the bottom so I thought I'd post about my new blog accessories. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Have a reat weekend!

A Scrapping Weekend

I was able to complete two spreads this weekend and I am pretty happy with how they both turned out. The "Eggs to Dye for" spread took longer than I had hoped because I originally had completely different paper picked out. I just kept starring at it trying to figure out how I would lay everything out. It just wasn't working with the patterned paper I had so I changed to a solid color and all of a sudden things started working out. For the eggs on this spread I actually used MS Word's clip art to print out those easter eggs onto picture paper since I didn't have any easter egg stickers or embelishments.

I love how the "Sunday Brunch" spread turned out. I think the wood paper works well with these photos especially because of the wood burning fire place at this very small place. I also think I sort of captured the feel of sunday brunch on this spread with the polka dot paper and the swirly ribbon. It sort of reminds me of old tablecloth or something.
