New Blog Design/{Free} Blog Button Swap

Hey guys!

I was all set out to do a post about the Emmy nominations (Downton Abbey got a ton of noms, yay!) but then I somehow ended up spending hours working on a new layout for my blog. Oops. So expect things to shift around here and there! I still can't get everything to line up perfectly, ugh.

My unofficial blog mascot, Lucy! 
(Yes, I may or may not have already named the dachshund I'm going to get someday...)

Secondly, anyone up for a blog button swap? I want to eventually get rid of the blog roll on the bottom righthand side of the page and replace it with buttons. You put my button up on your blog, I'll put yours up on mine. That simple! Sorry, I've tried forever to get that nice little HTML code box under my button, and it's never worked. I think my blog is cursed or something.

Comment below and let me know if you want to swap buttons!

Have a good weekend,
Becky

    Love the new look! I need to do a makeover for my blog too! I don't have a button to share, so I can't do it but maybe in the future!

      No problem! I love the saying on it, "why do today what you can do tomorrow". It's kind of the story of my life, hehe. And I'm glad you like the new layout.

      Yay, so excited! I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like. It took me awhile to make the headers and the "about me" section, but in the end I think it was worth it.

      Aww you're so lucky to have 2 dachshunds! My mom is on the fence about getting one...our yellow lab is 10 years old, so she's afraid a new puppy in the house would upset her. Hopefully she'll get over it and we'll be welcoming a new dachshund into the family this fall.

      Let me know when you make a button for your blog so I can add it!
