I am thrilled beyond words with the work Brandi Hussey did for my blog, aren't you?If you haven't visited Brandi's blog, you need to NOW. She has so much information to offer! Her color palettes are amazing, her eClass on PhotoShop Elements is terrific, and she used to make gorgeous jewelry before changing career paths. She's in my book, "Bead Soup", too! And obviously, she's super-talented in the graphic design category, too.
I absolutely LOVE the banner. I sent her a bazillion photos, and she really picked the ones that are quintessentially about me and what I love. The vintage typewriter -- my love of writing. The pink hair -- it's become an identity now. The artwork -- those are Zack's bookmarks from his shop. The beaded bracelet shows one of my lampwork beads. And finally, my shoe collection, which has spawned several blog posts and is also part of my identity. Fun hair, fun shoes, fun purses, fun jewelry. That's my style.
I REALLY love the bars to the right instead of in the header. It helped me clean up the side bar a bit and gave me room to grow. And it feels cleaner in here, too -- she must have dusted when she was working!
Please be sure to visit Brandi's blog and give her some love!
Lori Anderson creates jewelry for her web site, Lori Anderson Designs, and wrote the blog An Artist's Year Off. She is the creator of the Bead Soup Blog Party tm.

I had noticed the change just yesterday, and it totally looks fantastic. The first thing that came to mind looking at the new header was that, "This is so very her."

Excellent job by Brandi. I would recognize this as Pretty Things even if there was no title saying so. The banner truly captures you and your essence Lori Dear.

I love the new look. It really pictures you and everything you love. Really nice. I'd love to change mine up, but with blogger I don't think I can do much.
Ohh; I'm back in the blogging world - just in time to see your fantastic new look. AWESOME!
She really captured Lori.
Words, Pink hair, beads and lots of colorful shoes. The only thing missing is PIE!
Beautiful new look.
I am a little bit jealous of that awesome banner and your cool hair. Just sayin'.
Love it! Will definitely be checking out her blog as well. Mine can definitely use some sprucing up...& some more attention. ;-)
You and Brandi have created a perfect blog design. Love the touches of pink! Has your signature ( and hair) all over it!
