i am so insanely proud of myself!

Yes...yes...I know.

I've been a little lacking on the posting.  Please don't hate me.  Still recovering from the blahs from last week and I've been sick.  A-freakin-gain.

Plus don't even get me started on the fact that my mother-in-law is coming to spend Christmas with us.  Don't even.

Fa-la-la-la-la...la-la-la...ugh.

Anyway.

Notice anything different?

Anything?

Anything at all?

Okay...let me help you out a little.

I am totally teaching myself how to change up my blog!!!

While I'm not an expert...and probably will never be...I am cruising around the web and learning how to do different things.

Like...

Hopefully I did this right and you should be able to see funky "handwritten" font for blog posts, date, and sidebar titles!  Totally did that using fonts and helpful tips from kevinandamanda.com.  A totally cute site worth a visit!  Yay!

and...

Because of the whole FTC thing, I've been doing my disclaimer underneath every post and it's starting to look tired.

I LOVED what Beauty Addict and All About the Pretty did (with the magical hovering mouse thingy) and I couldn't figure out how to do it until I did some sleuthing online. Now all you have to do is hover over a link with your mouse and a little box should pop up that tells you if I bought it or the product was sent to me by a rep...try it by hovering over the links in this post!  Go ahead...I'll wait.  Neat...right?  Plus you can still click through to the site if you want still!! Double yay!!

and...

I added a signature to all my posts..well all of the new posts that are going up and I also did away with the annoying underlining when you hover with the mouse over a link too.  Hated those.  So triple yay!!!

and finally...

I redid my header and it looks okaaayyyy so I'm still going to be working on that so much better...right?  plan on trying to figure out how to add more things...like tabs and whatnot...plus I'll be adding new features.  So you'll be seeing a lot of changes soon as well as more regular posting.

So stay tuned!
