Welcome to February

Yes, I can't believe it either, but January's gone. I'm still pregnant, but I have hope at this point that every day is my last day in this particular state of being... let's get going, Kinlee!!!


The new backgrounds are up here and on Braska's blog, so peek in, you reader readers!

Also, two of the Valentine Makeover winners, Brigette and Jen, have theirs up already... yeah, that's right, I'm that quick! (Terri...drop me a line!!) Plus, I also had time to do one last night during the game for Cheryl. No, she didn't win in the drawing, but she's practically family (officially, one of these days!) so I did a quick one after she picked out her choices.

As far as those of you who have asked for tutorials, I do plan to do a little series to share the inside info, but probably not til March if I'm being truthful. It's not all that hard or anything, but it can be time consuming. FYI--to start, it's nice if you have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. So check into that if you're seriously interested. It's not cheap, but it does alot. I'm sure there are other programs that can do it, but that seems to be the most common one when dealing with building with layers and communicating with HTML.

So go see the blogs to see how cute their visions came out... they all picked their kits, colors, pics, and had the last say on design. I think they all turned out well, even though they are all different. Plus, they're all super neat people, so go say hi!

  1. All of the new blogs are quite fun! Quick question, do you design your whole background then pop it into the code or is each piece/layer separately coded? I'm just trying to figure out how to get a three-column layout and which parts of the code to change. You can e-mail if it's an easy answer; otherwise I'll be patient. Thanks! I did it for my photography blog, but I just thought there might be an easier way as it was a little tricky to figure out and my pregnant brain isn't wanting to think that hard right now.

  2. How did all my girls get to be so beautifully creative when their mom is NOT? I guess they got some of their dad's genes :o)
    Looks wonderful, Honey!!

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...

Peek at tomorrow

This weekend we were at my in-laws' place for a very quick visit. We went largely for a housewarming for Cheryl and Ethon, which was Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty darn cool place, so yay for you guys! Sunday morning pictures are normal, we do them alot. This week, before we left for church, Carole took a few pics of my little poonchin. They didn't all turn out great, as she kept making funny faces and moving at the last second. I stole them off her camera for my collection, and when I looked at this one I just kind of stopped. It's not any super great picture. It's cute, but hey, how could it not be? She's waving at herself, that's the reason the hand is up. But that's not what I saw. Go ahead, click on the picture. Can you see it? I don't see Down syndrome. I don't see a feeding tube. I don't even see a tough cookie, open-heart surgery survivor. It's not my favorite picture of her ever, but I can't hardly stop looking at it. This...
