New Background

Some of you may have been wondering why my blog background keeps changing. Well the answer is simple. I have been trying for weeks to get my own original background uploaded but there was always a glitch in the HTML code. I finally figured it out last night and now I am proud to say that I have a background ALL MY OWN! Allow me to explain how I came to choose this pattern.

The side panels where the bridges are have a lot of meaning to me. First of all, this is a beautiful picture that my sister took. A sister that I rarely get to see because she lives so far away. A sister that I call when I just need to vent. A sister who has always been there for me through thick and thin. A sister that I miss so much. And now I can be reminded of her everyday when I open my blog.

The bridge in the picture is called The Bluewater Bridge in Sarnia, Ontario. It links Ontario to Michigan. You see, I was born in Sarnia so therein lies the reason why I chose this bridge over all others. It also signifies the move that I made from Canada to the USA. I realize that I did not move to MICHIGAN per se but I did move to a new country and this bridge reminds me that there will always be an easy connection to my family.

The words mingled together on the inner panels simply describe everything I love to blog about - My children, my husband, traveling, crafting, decorating, and the love I have for my family and friends. What can be more sweeter than surrounding myself everyday with the things that I love the most?

So there you have it, a brief description of my new blog background that I am happy to announce is here to stay!

Wow! Very cool....I love it! What a great design. Perhaps some day I will figure out how make my own too! I have wanted to but I am not that good with the computer.

I will have to go check out the bridge one day. We live about an hour or more away from Sarnia.
