I can get all funktified trying to change things..ie blog design, web design...anything! Just went crazy last night trying to redo this thing. I love all the sweet emails you all send and am afraid I should confess something right now. I suffer from "the world has got to see HUGE LARGE pictures on my blog" syndrome! I know..really sad. I know several of you have smaller computer screens than I do. And I always automatically think you see what I see. Well, not the case. So, in effort to make things cleaner, nicer, more balanced, I have downscaled the size of my blog and pics! Meaning hopefully my pictures won't scare you to death anymore. :) So if you feed readers say SMJ blog has over 100 posts..well...I'm just going through and downsizing pics. I still have way more to do so just ignore my posts! LOL And hopefully this blog of mine will be more easy to read.
I really had wanted Miss Pea to redo the blog. But I know that my picky ways would have gotten the best of me...and probably would have redone whatever beautiful thing she created. I know..crazy. So, I labor and redo it myself...at least I can learn a few new things now and then. But after doing just this..which really is not much as for design, holy moly, Miss Pea you should charge a ton for your labor!
So, thank you Miss Shari for the late night chat while I hacked through this thing! LOL Hopefully you all are having a gorgeous day! Had to share this picture! Darling vintage Bavarian roses sprayer! Til then...happy days!
You already know that I LOVE LOVE the new look! The category headers are awesome! Soooo YOU! I so need to update my personal blog but haven't found the time or creativity for that one yet. Thank goodness I hired Miss Pea to do the work one or it never would have gotten done!

Oooh, I just LOVE it! Those tabs are PERFECT. How fun! And I wondered why it looked like you had 66 new posts. LOL Very impressive remodel job though. Having done a few by now I'm particularly impressed that you got the pretty title tab displayed for categories. You go girl! :) Gorgeous photo too. :)

I love your new look Jenn--fab fab fab my friend! HUGE pictures is still one of my thangs too...I am learning to scale down a few pixels at a time. A girl's gotta take baby steps with some things, ya know:) Oh....and is that not the sweetest vintage roses sprayer. I just love it. It's so nice to have a new blogging friend-thanks for the linky link.
