Making a Blog Button!
Oh my gosh! Making a Blog Button was SOOOO time consuming for me … although it did make the 6 hour drive home for me go quicker 🙂 We were just in Door County, Wisconsin for a week vacation and I will be posting pictures of that later. This post is about my NEW Buttons that I just finished making 🙂
I found a great tutorial from The Mother Huddle and took copious notes. I set time aside to work on it (the drive home) and started first by going to Picnik. Oh … picnik no longer exists! Hmmm. I quickly went to facebook to check in with my fellow bloggers and the first one suggested was Picmonkey. I now have a love/hate relationship with them. There was a learning curve, I goofed, goofed again another 200 times, and then success!!! ( Mr Man had to be in the same truck with me and my frustration! At one point he suggested wine. LOL)
First let me show you what I sketched as my idea … Not the prettiest but you get the idea 🙂
It also held my notes on how to make my blog button. It now has a big fat line through it since I had to go with another option. I do have to say to Picmonkey‘s defense … once you learn the ins and outs … it is user friendly.
Here are my finished buttons …

There was a lot of hair pulling so I may need to invest in a wig. 🙂 I have to say that I am very happy with the way that they turned out. Not bad for a rookie!
This was also a good time for me to find a way to keep myself organized. I did it simply by buying a notebook and tabs. Here is what I came up with …
I have just started to use it (I am tweeking “how” I use it) but I think it is going to work. It is inexpensive, easy, and functional. What more could a girl ask for? 🙂
If you have learned a good way to keep your “blog organized” be sure to leave a comment and tell me about it! I need all kinds of help 🙂
Hugs,
