There's been a little spring rearranging going on here at 7 All Together.
I've been wanting a new look for my blog for awhile. Something different, all my own, special.
But, since I know zilch, zero, nada about all the stuff that's makes up blog design, it wasn't happening.
Until this weekend. I stumbled upon Making Cute Blogs. Oh boy, free tutorials with no professional software needed for anyone who wants a cute blog....raising hand, wildly waving, that's me!
I used the tutorial for making a custom header using Picnik. So easy, so quick and so free! The tutorial is very clear and understandable with lots of pictures. I kind of started on a whim thinking it would be over my head and I wouldn't be able to figure out how to get it into my blog. Nope. I followed step by step. Never had a question. No what the heck does this mean moments. And as you can see, I got it into my blog!
I wasn't quite sure what I wanted for a header so I made two different ones.
I'd love to hear your thoughts....what you like, don't like, what you think of the ideas and colors.
Now on to adding some pages.......
I'm linking up to Weekend Bloggy Reading with Amanda at Serenity Now and Round Robin with Amy at Keeping up with the Schultz Family

Yay you! It always feels so good to tackle something yourself! (You may need to widen something, your header is getting cut off on the right when I clicked through)
Here's another place with fabulous tutorials http://sneakymommablogdesign.blogspot.com/
Thanks for letting me know-i'll have to do some more research!
I like both of your headers! The font is terrific and I like the blue and white color scheme. Since you want the header to be special and all your own, I think you could go with the one of your adorable children! Or, if you want to choose the second header, you could put a picture of your children on the right (similar to blessedby3miracles.blogspot.com). Can't wait to see what you choose!
I want to check this out also. I want a new look also. I love both looks.. I am so happy you are coming by tomorrow. Have a great day..
I'm so impressed. Your new header is great!
I think you did a great job!! The only thing is that it's cutting off one side of your pic! I'm always impressed by anyone who can do techy stuff on their own. :)
Thanks for sharing this with everyone.. Have a great weekend..
Thanks again..
I think it looks great! Nice & clean!
Visiting from Serenity Now!
I love how bright and clean your design is:-)
I'm still impressed you did it on your own! :) Thanks for linking up with me. :)
I really don't enjoy the designing end. I try not to think about it. :) I just want to write and read!
i can't choose! im proud of you though for working on it yourself, im at a war with myself right now on the same thing!
and btw, i really love your blog! today i did a refashion that i think you'd like, a lace-cut out t-shirt that is no-sew! and easy to do with very little time.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope that you give the Crunchy Potato Soft Tacos a try! Let me know if you do! :-)
I'm definitely going to be checking out these tips on improving your blog...I too am clueless with all of the techy stuff!
I love the header that is up, but on my screen it cuts off and I only get to see 4 1/2 of the kids :(. You did a great job!
Hope everyone gets to feeling better at your house. Have a great day!

be proud of yourself, smiles.
Be sure to stop by tomorrow.. You do not want to miss out..
