I now feel like I can breathe.
I thought I would need 'til Monday to finish the new look, but I guess I needed a day.
That middle profile picture of me will be changing, as I have set of selfies scheduled to be taken tomorrow.
Also, I'd love if you could play and click around and make sure all the buttons work.
In truth, they might not. Just shoot me a comment and start it with "Uhh...Amanda, ya messed up."
I'd appreciate it.

About my blog-makeover journey this past week:
(1) A lot of you on Instagram were wondering about that Photoshop Elements 10 course that I taught myself with. It was THiS ONE. I only made it up to Chapter 10 of the 18 and it was enough for me to have done to this blog what you see now. Note: the guy who instructs during the course gets REALLLLLLLY annoying and breathy and long-winded and he swallows his spit a lot. However, he totally helped me to understand the fundamentals of PSE 10 and how to think about it. That, for me, was invaluable. I will be going back to the site in the next few days and finishing Chapters 11 through 18. Oh, that's another thing: you have to pay for the course, but it's only $25 a month. I'm going to gather all the knowledge I can in that month, and then cancel subscription.
(2) I absolutely positivily owe my blog-creating skills to Elise Joy Blaha Cripe's BLOG 2.0 WORKSHOP. I know she only offers the workshop a couple of times a year. I took it last July, and it has been the reason I can blog on a page I designed and love and reflects me. PLUS...she's a doll and answers any questions you may have right away.
(3) There are some new bits and pieces of the page...including THE STAMP SHOP button. Geee! I'm still figuring out the logistics of making it happen and work, so please be patient with me, ya'll. I'm so incredibly grateful for all those lovelies out there who've already showed interest. (You know who you are.)
That's all I'm going to say for today.
I hope you have a smashingly FAB Friday, and I'll see ya when I see ya!
P.S. -- I can NOW cross off 'teach myself Photoshop Elements' on this list. Hooray!
