A New Year - A New Blog Design

In keeping with my New Beginnings attitude, I decided that I wanted and needed a new blog design. I searched for ...um....hours....and finally found the one I liked the best! You are looking at it! It's a free template called Book Tree Template from Blog Templates. What could be more perfect for me? It has books, coffee, papers and a tree!  

It might take a while longer to change things around a bit and try to get it exactly the way I want it, but for now, I'm pretty happy with it.

Again, I wish you all a Happy New Year, filled with joy and bliss!

  3. Happy New Year, Becky...looking good. Guess are doing okay tonight. We have freinds in Sunset Hills that we are worried sick about...can't reach them by phone. Hope all the other Sistas did not blow away either!

  5. Hi Bookie! Don't worry, no one was seriously injured in those tornados, which is quite unbelievable. You can probably see pictures on The Weather Channel. They just don't have power in that area! What a week of weather. On Christmas Eve, we had snow....on New Year's Eve, we had tornados!

  7. Hi Becky,

    LOL.. you were right we both had the same idea, new blog designs. Great minds think alike. tee, hee.

    I like your new blog design. I know what you mean spending hours looking at blog designs, but they are so easy to download, I am changing mine quite often.

    Happy Reading in 2011.

  9. Hi Becky,

    Wow! You have been so busy on here over the last couple of days. I love the new look of your blog and your segments on new beginnings and getting unstuck. I know that you will get so much writing done and published this year; I would think that you would no longer doubt it. There is an ebb and flow to creativity, but this is who you now are, a published writer. I don't see how that can go away.

    Happy New Year and God bless you, my friend.

    Kathy

  12. Elaine: We went out to eat, I had the lobster bisque, we went to his place, and yada-yada-yada.

    George or Jerry (I can't remember): Yada-yada-yada? You skipped over the best part. (They were interested in the activities between the sheets.)

    Elaine: No, I mentioned the bisque (she hissed).

  13. Very nice, Becky! I'm also considering a few blog changes, though I always worry about everything getting messed up...and if there's a way to mess things up, I'll find it!

  20. Why is it that I seem to be the only one who can't see your new template??! Really--I often don't seem to see the pictures that other people see!!! I see a wooden background and your title, but that's all. =( But it *sounds* pretty! Love the quote. Happy 2011!

  22. Hey Tam! I sure don't understand why you can't see my new template! That is SO weird!! Maybe try using a different program, like Internet Explorer? I have no idea, though!
