Spring Makeover

It’s time for a little (or maybe a big?) makeover here at Heather Drive.

Maybe it’s all of that sunshine we’ve had the last few days, but it’s finally beginning to feel like spring around here. Even with the chilly temps. So, I’ve got the itch to do some spring cleaning, and for me, that includes the blog. I need something fresh!

But first, let’s take a gander at the past “looks,” eh? (They’re all going to look kind of funky since I have to shrink them so much. But you get the idea.)

Awww, the original Heather Drive header. This was before I even really knew the direction in which I would take this blog. I was struggling with my new identity as a “non-bride” blogger.

Once I started posting a lot of food, I decided to integrate that into the header as well. So we ended up with this (which is also the current header):

Then there were a couple of “special theme” headers along the way. Each one made an appearance for a limited time only.

First, there was Christmas (I loved this one, and can’t wait to put it–or something similar–back up next year!):

Then there was the inauguration celebration:

So, hmmm. Time for something new. I just have to figure out what that “something” is, and get the creative flow going.

And here I am, setting expectations for something potentially big. Bad idea. It’s possible that I’ll come back and all I’ll have is a redesigned header (I’m kind of attached to my color scheme and layout). BUT we’ll see how it goes. Anything’s possible.

I’m just sayin’.

P.S. If there is anything you’re lovin’ or hatin’ about the layout/sidebar features on the blog, now would be a good time to speak up about it. Or if you have suggestions for improvement, those are welcome, too.

P.P.S. Look what I was doing a year ago today! I mailed out my wedding invitations! Weird. Seems like ages ago, but seems like yesterday. All at the same time.
