Yep... I made some changes here. And since I know nothing technical about blogs, I went with something very clean & streamlined. Although if someone could put a rainbow & clouds on here I'd be happy. What I like most about this new blog layout is that I can now use large size images... making it easier for readers to see detail without having to click on each image to increase the size. I've been going through old posts to resize everything, but I may just decide to leave the last 5 years as is. It will take FORever & I've got better things to do!
Oh... and we had tornado sirens today. In January. And it was 66 degrees. Thursday we're supposed to get snow. Only in Missouri.
Moving on...
After going through old photos last night and then taking the big stack of completed pages that had been piling up on my counter & finally putting them in the books (chronologically the best I could)... I decided to tackle some more events from last year. Bryn's books are pretty much up-to-date, minus a couple trips. But the books I have for my (& Bob's) fun stuff... have some gaps.
Can one ever really be "caught up" with all their photos anyway? I think not.
So last night I got out my Simple Stories SNAP collection (I told you I loved it) & printed photos from this birthday party that happened almost a year ago...
Once again... a boat load of party pics. And yes... there were at least 20 more photos I could've used on here but I showed some restraint...
Will I ever be a one-photo-per-page-with-a-bunch-of-flowers-around-it kind of scrapbooker?
Nope.
Works for a lot of people, but it's just not practical for me. Or my style, for that matter.
I need LOTS of pictures. And journaling. Preferably all on ONE 12x12 page.
And something else I need...
a little practice at doing "The Wobble."
The end.
Oooooh, love the new blog look. Yay, I can see clearly now! Great page. I love your style. You rock the multi-photo/journaling pages.

I'm with you on the multi-photo LOs. I just haven't gotten the journaling down.
Love the new blog look!

I really like the simple, streamlined look, especially the gray chevron background. I hope you never become a one-photo scrapper because I love your multi-photo layouts :)
