Artistic Accomplishment

For a long time I have admired the artistic development that goes on in blogland! From the different widgets that are all over the place, to the color selections and designs that per-mate our stories.

It seems we are forever trying to update our looks with free items form the web. One of my favorite sites for backgrounds is The Cutest Blog On The Block. Ashley has built a nice little site that caters to people like you and me. She has a business and is using her talent for profit, but what I really like is the free backgrounds that are available. She even goes as far as to tell you how to use the background and do it yourself! That's priceless in the business world!

I would not have known about Cute Blogs if it weren't for my friend Bronie (Team Victory!). Because of the shout out Bronie gave on her blog (which is a very good read and dear to my heart...hint, hint...go there after you read mine!), this gem of a site would have been lost!

Now on to what this post is about. Because of Ashley's knowledge and guidance, I thought I would try to create a background myself. Through many trials and errors (I think we call that life), I finally did it! The background you see here is one I call "Gilded Gold". Will this be the last one I create? Probably not! Now that I have a little more time invested, I might even try to start a business like Ashley!

Who knows, I believe I have time for one more occupational endeavor! Maybe between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Who knows!

Have a great day! I'm going back to play, I mean work!
