I’m counting this as my NaBloPoMo post today – mostly because I’ve spent probably 24 hours total or more on this new blog design this weekend. I know I change blog designs more than Kate Hudson changes boyfriends, but I felt the extreme need for something a bit more… light. Less emphasis on the black and hot pink – so click through from your readers to check out all my hard work with your own beautiful two eyes!

If you’re curious, here’s how I did it:

Free Cupcake WordPress template from SimplyWP.net

Peacock feather and colorful ornate decoration images from iStock.com

Crown blog bling from Google Images

Angel Tears and Cursive Handwriting Tryout fonts from FontFreak.com (the only font Web site I use)

Cute (and free!) blog images from ShabbyBlogs.com

Scribble social media icon set – with instructions to make your own

Lots and lots of Googling for WordPress help since I’m self taught and don’t know what I’m doing half the time

And – voila! A totally free new site design. All it took was two full days, holed up in my room, geeking out.

Currently Feeling: Proud I’ve officially made it two whole weeks through NaBloPoMo. I’ve had a few rough patches (blogging when getting home after four glasses of wine), but all in all, it’s been awesome to get back into writing!
Currently Anticipating: A full week – and getting over the speaking on a panel hump that’s looming over my head until Thursday’s over.
Currently Loving: Fires and home-cooked meals at my parents’ house.
