Blog-Web Page Design.

I think this is definitely something I want do. I have been having such a great time creating my blog's future themes, that I need to do this in a more serious way.

I am going to find a class to learn all about HTML and CSS and all those geeky cool things and see where this goes. 

I feel giddy every time I learn something new and I love the design part of it.  This is it for me!

Here is a peek at the designs you will be seeing here on No Shrinking Violet in the coming months.

So far I have seven ready to go, but I know I'll have many more before I have used all of these. I hope you like.

If you'd like me to design your blog for you, drop me a line at:

Circles template is Pugly Pixel.  Staples are Karla Dudley.

Have a great weekend, lovelies.

New Font, New Font!

Oh, yeah. There was no way I could resist this one. My Fonts is a very dangerous place for me. I love this font to death and it was worth every penny I paid for it.

It's beautiful name is Verner and it's part of a font family I must have. Soon, hopefully.

Ok, I'm off to think of ways to use my new lovely font.

Toodles,

Hipsta Shot.

I had sushi for lunch the other day and, for some strange reason, I got a Chinese fortune cookie with my meal.

I loved my fortune and thought it was very apropos, so here it is.

Of course by now you've all figured out I am in love with Pugly Pixel's labels and vintage fabric banners. They are just too cool not to use.

Here's hoping your fortune's nice to you too.

Toodles,

Whee!

Ah, lemme just say this beautiful Tuesday has been full of the coolest news and this is the cherry on top of my happy sundae...

Pugly Pixel, I love thee.

I found Katrina's blog by chance and I never loved a blog as much as I love hers. She is just pure coolness and her amazing aesthetics speak to mine. I love everything she does and her freebies are to die for. I got a Premium Membership and it's been the best $5 I have ever spent.

You need to go visit her. Now!

Of course that graph paper I made using one of her tutorials (best and easiest to follow) and the tape is Pugly Pixel also. I borrowed the images from her blog. You can see her glittery post here.

OK, I'm off to start the day. Have a wonderful one, lovelies.

Fashion Lust.

I was browsing Pinterest today, and my heart skipped a beat when I landed on these...

I have never loved a pair of shoes like I love these Vera Wang Lavender Label flats. I am a total flat gal and these are the perfect shape, and the bling overload is making me dizzy.

I dunno how, but I will have these shoes. Just sayin'.

I'm off to daydream about them some more. Happy day, lovelies.

They Kill Me Dead...

My sweet little girls, that is. Both Nati, my daughter and Paulina, my niece, are the most generous people I know.

They were wearing these über cool plastic rings the other day and when I told them I loved them, they both took them right off their beautiful little hands and just gave them to me.

Needless to say, they melt my heart on a daily basis and I love them more than words can say.

I wear my cool rings all the time, and they make me smile like a fool.

I made the red graph paper thanks to a super easy tutorial by Pugly Pixel. Pink tag and vintage fabric banners are Pugly Pixel, also.

Have a wonderful weekend, beautiful people.
