FRESH STARTS

This year is been all about fresh starts: travelling through Europe, decorating my home office and finding my way back into the kitchen. So it seemed only natural to give the blog a bit of a fresh start too with a new look.

I don't know about you, but I tend to get a little antsy with my blog aesthetic and find myself changing it more often than is probably customary. Hmm, I wonder if it's normal that I spend more time grooming the blog's look than I do my own? 

Wait. Don't answer that. 

Oh, and note to self: book hair appointment!

But really, I have been wanting to make some adjustments for a while now.....like larger photos, less clutter and more white space. After seeing the launch of Christine's new look last week over at Just Bella blog, I was inspired to get started. I'm still playing around with the design, so please pardon the site-construction over the next few days weeks months. Thanks, Folks!

Wishing you a wonderful fresh start as we enter into a new week. xo, A.

    1. Thank you Barbara! Yes, I did the update myself. I just started with the "Ethereal" template, and customized from there. I'm lucky to have the Adobe Creative Suite CS4, so I was able to design the header and social media buttons in Illustrator.
