I feel so smart!!

So last night Mom was like "go look at this website, it has SUCH cool things for blogs that I really like, but you really don't need to worry about trying to figure it out, it's not that big of a deal. But they are REALLY cute!" I think she said that knowing how stubborn I am that I would figure out how to make them. The website is called The Cutest Blog on the Block, and for good reason. My mom was right, it had some pretty dang cute stuff on it! It was like 8:3o though, and I was getting ready to bail out to Renee's for a sleepover before the little kid's swim-meet this morning, so I put the website out of my head and moved on. I wasn't going to worry about it.

I got home this afternoon and tried to fiddle with it for a little while. I was trying to find a background and banner/header that I liked, but nothing seemed "me" enough. It was all WAY to girly for me. I attempted to alter some of the pre-made ones, but it wasn't working out too well. The html code and all the little details was way too much for me. I decided I wasn't going to mess up my blog again (long story.. some how I ended up saving my blog as a template so I could no longer edit it. Luckily, my stubborness paid off and I fixed it :D) so I decided a nap would be more appropriate. (It's been a long week, averaged 5 hours of sleep a night, yikes!). Well Dad woke me up whenever Mom and him left to go out with Mike and Dawn, and so I got up and watched TV for a little while while doing my APUSH maps. I was enjoying the peace and quiet of having the house to myself. Well, and KJ :)

I honestly wasn't planning on twiddling with the layouts anymore. But, the stubborness got to me, and I really wanted to mess with it a little bit more. Well... instead of just altering one of the pre-made layouts I decided I'd try to make my very own.

And... TA-DA! I custom made the background and the header/banner. I'm working on adding a few more little things to it, like a signature since the one I had before doesn't match anymore. I'm loving it!

Maybe stubborness isn't always a bad thing? Haha :)

Lemme know what you think of it!
