Blog-Slacking and a New Header! {Hurry Up Summer!}

I've been a blog slacker. I was sad to look at my old blog header and realize that I had not written on this blog in over a month!  School's out in two more days, so I am getting in gear to get some projects done around the house!


Remember the pallet wood pictures? That was waaaay back in November. Guess where the wood's been sitting since then?? On top of the garbage cans in the garage. (Sorry, Hubs!)


And my $5 Chandelier? It's right there with the wood. 


My plans are to turn it into something like this that Diane created over at In My Own Style.

Yep.... I've got my work cut out for me, but I love it. I'm looking forward to using the creative part of my brain for a while! 

The first thing I created for my self-thrown Welcome Back party was a new blog header. Unfortunately, Picnik is no longer available as a website/service, so I couldn't use them to create a new header. I wasn't sure how I was going to manage it or what program to use. Thank goodness I stumbled across a wonderful tutorial by Sarah over at Clover Lane. If you are in need of creating a collage, check out her tutorial... it's a life saver!

I hope you'll follow along on this journey....it's going to be fun!!

Love,

Nif
