So I Changed My Blog Look...Again...

-
Okay, so, I know I changed my design fairly recently, but something about it wasn't sitting quite rightly with me (maybe it was a little too...pinky/color-y?)

Anyway, as you can see, I've changed it. And never fear, I know my header is too big, and I'll be working to adjust it.  What do you think of the new look itself, though?  It took me forever to come up with a header with which I was reasonably satisfied, and I'm still not sure about it.  Part of me really likes it and part of me is skeptical.  What do you all think?

    I like the blue a lot! Yeah the header is kind of big but I love it besides that. :)
    I need to redo my blog layout. I'm not a big pink girl but somehow that's the layout I've stuck with for about a year now. :(

      Oh, and how do you make your headers?

      I'd love to tell you how I make my headers! Even though they're not that great, so it's sweet of you to ask:) It's a bit of a long answer, though, so either you can comment your email and delete the comment, and then I'll email you the instructions for how I do it, or I can just make a comment:) Up to you!

      I'm so glad you like it, Lois!
      Yeah, it takes me FOREVER when I decide to change my look, because I'm all persnickety and I can't seem to get what I'd like from my head to the computer:-/

      Yay!

      Aww, thanks! It was a little complicated. See, I usually use PicMonkey to make my headers. For this one, I finally figured out that I had to edit just one picture (Cinderella's dress). I went to overlays and clicked on "Your Own", which allowed me to put the other pictures on top. Then I was able to fade it out and play with different filters and erase the edges to make it look a little more ragged. Whew! Once I figured it out, it wasn't that tough, but it took me a long time:)

    Your header is very lovely! I'm sure you worked quite hard on it to get all that overlay, but to be honest, I think it would be just stunning in simplicity with the Cinderella dress and shoe! But it looks good. I like how you have your blog title and description in this header.

      Thanks! Yes, that's the thing...I wanted to somehow incorporate the whole "stories" thing, but at the same time, just the one picture would probably be really striking and dramatic. I guess I'll have to play with it and see. Thanks for your input!

    I like it way more than the pink. And I loved Cinderella, so I dig the header too!

    I like it a lot, especially since it features Cinderella's famous shoe in the header. : )

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
