Back to the Grind

 Monday, Monday.It's back.::le sigh::
But I will tell you all it was a fantastic weekend!
I started it off by winning a Freebie Friday from Cherry on Top (Go check her out! She's adorable!)My lil ole blog is getting the hook-up lately!Thank you so so much to Melissa to designing a signature for me!  & I finished up some shopping for Matt's birthday in a few weeks as well as for his Easter basket. Friday was awesome.  Oh, and I managed to pick up a set of the Hunger Games Trilogy. I've been holding off because I am a die hard reader and I didn't want to get sucked into the books during a busy school or work week!

 But let me just tell you, They. Are. AWESOME.'nuff said. 
Saturday I spent reading book two, and going to a vineyard for a wine tasting!

 This was a picture of the grapes through the window as we were driving up! 

My "tall" sangria. It was sooooo delicious!I've also discovered that I hate red wine, but love sweet white wine (like moscato) but also semi-sweet white wine. Good thing I tried them all;) Sunday was spent relaxing, reading the third book of the Hunger Games, and finishing last minute homework.This upcoming week is going to be slightly busy for me because I have an outline and research due for my speech class, so I'm glad I got my relaxing in over the weekend! Hope your Monday is flying by! 

 

 

BOOM!

BOOM!

You guys, I don't know if I've ever been as proud of myself as I am that I created my very own new blog header!! I'm extremely computer/tech challenged. I mean, I can roll with the best of them on Facebook, uploading pictures, and downloading things, but this was a whole new ball game. 

It was literally driving me crazy. Seriously, I think I've been "under construction" for like a week now. The slow process and my inability to work any sort of photo editing software had me almost giving up. 

But then I looked at prices for custom headers.

$45

Oh hell to the no.  

So I put on my big girl pants and got to researching. 

And then, something big happened.

I won a giveaway over at Life & Times!!

She's the best, and you should really go check her out if you haven't already! 

It was the My Memories Suite Software that literally saved my life.

I know it's still a little rough, but I can't wait to practice more! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I had a new header fairly often just because it's so easy!

And to link up with my girl, Sarah, for Inspiration Friday,

I may just be inspired to create a little header business for my blog friends! 

After a lot more practice of course:)

What's your inspiration on this fine Friday?!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Truth

I'm not going to lie. I'm getting frustrated trying to design my own new blog header. 

Why am I so computer illiterate?! 

Please excuse my absence and know that I'm working on updating the look of my lil ole blog. 

Does anybody have any suggestions/ tips on how to make a header?? 

I miss picnik:(
