WELCOME BACK!!!!


Greetings, and welcome to the newly updated blog! After a few hard days at work, I finally figured out how to do some HTML coding and add the little "info" buttons under the header. Speaking of the header, I have to explain how I did this.

I knew I wanted a sunset picture of some kind. This was a given. I also knew I wanted a "handwriting" type font. Other than that? I had to incorporate some type of Ukrainian/Russian something...enter the onion dome! I have a love for silhouettes, so after many, many searches on google, I finally found a few pieces of architecture that I liked, made them silhouettes, and voila. The background is none other than a good ol' Oklahoma sunset. I added some trees/brush along the bottom to make it more whimsical, and then started playing with the placements of the buildings. Here is what I saw in my head...


And now you can see it transformed to a digital image above! My apologies for the bad quality picture...I just took an Iphone pic.

Check out the blog...leave a comment...you can even start following me! Just click on the link to the right (with the little pictures of people). If you would like to be notified when I update my blog overseas, leave a message with your email address (or you can email me directly) and I will get you added to the group email!

Happy snow day!

Yay! Love the hand written font! Was that done by html? I didn't realize you composed that image. I love how you've incorporated all the ingredients of you! Very well done!
