new blog layout

It had been a few months so I made a new background. The problem is I'm determined to not use anyone else's stuff for my backgrounds now, so I have to wait til I have time to make something. I made this one out of a picture I took at a park of a tree, turned into a stamp then run through a filter in photoshop. I'm rather proud of myself, if I do say so myself.
I still cheat and use other people's fonts. Don't have THAT much time (or skill) on my hands.

Me gusta! I really like it. It's very original and doesn't distract me from your amazing blog. It's very very well done!

I like it. Very unique and cool.

I love it. If you made your own fonts I think you'd get lifted up into heaven for being too perfect as a designer, so you may want to be careful there.

I like the new background. By the way, your facebook status said that you finished a 400 page novel in one night, I thought you meant you wrote one since you mentioned on here you are writing and I was like WOW. I'm interested to hear more about your novel sometime.

wow...it's crazy the things you can do with photoshop. I'm impressed. I stumbled upon your blog during my "blog-hopping" session tonight....thought I'd say Hi!

Wow, good work, Jen! I don't have the skills (nor the patience and tools to learn right now), but I admire yours. Anytime you want to make me a background (or maybe just a header?), just let me know. ;)

What the heck is that font? I love it! Designers share fonts all the time so don't feel bad. It's taking something someone else uses and making it your own or working it into your design that changes it :) I rikey!!!

Just one more comment--I miss your quote about dancing in the rain. Any chance of it coming back?
