My New Hobby

One of the things I like to do most in my free time is mess around with blog headers and background designs. You might have noticed I changed the look of my blog almost weekly until recently when I finally created a design I didn't mind looking at for a while. But even still I have been making small (probably unnoticeable to you) tweaks to it in order to make it perfect! Different wording on a button, new colors for the header, additional links, etc. I also enjoy making headers for my friends and family and even thought about starting a small side business doing it. For now they have just been "gifts" until I can get more traffic onto the blog, but if you're interested in updating your blog let me know! You can email me at KHamilton626@gmail.com

Here are a few examples of my most recent projects:

Ashley and Graham are counting down
the
days til they get to meet baby Evie. I used her
nursery
bedding as inspiration for this new header!

Alexis is a great friend from my small group and her blog
got
a complete makeover that I was able to finish today!
This is my awesome mommy's blog- all about her adventures
as an empty-nester enjoying her free time at the golf course!

My sister Kristin was married recently and her
blog got a cool new header and color scheme.


This blog belongs to my younger sister Alex
and journals
her life as she finishes college
and struggles to stay on the South Beach diet!


My best friend Courtney and her husband
are expecting their first miracle in August!

No, Sharkey doesn't actually have her own blog.
But if she did, this would be her header!

This was one of the many Christmas headers for
our
site complete with matching background images.

These were the first headers I ever created.
They only lasted about a week each during the fall season!

You are AMAZING. I have already put your header on my blog and am working on ways to "compliment" it perfectly! What a talent!!

Wow, I didn't know those were all your work! You totally SHOULD do this as a little side business. People charge money for just headers, and if you can do a whole page theme like you've done for yourself, that's big $$. And there aren't as many people on the web doing custom headers as you might think. I looked and looked for folks to do mine, before I made my own on scrapblog.

Your designs are GREAT! Isn't it just so addicting...I spend WAY too much time playing with photoshop and making headers and layouts...

(when I'm not helping my llama answer his fan mail, that is) hehe
