Foliage
I just started doodling, and what do you know,
it turned out to be an entry for Jenn's Foliage challenge
It's relaxing to just sit and doodle . . . I am not that handy with a pen ~
my lines are messy, but I still kind of like her, and I'm calling her
Primavera
So ~ a quick, simple entry calls for a quick, simple post.
That's all I've got!
******************
Oh, except for one thing.
I got my own URL for my blog!
“The Magpie's Nest” was not available (of course),
so I am now The Fanciful Magpie.
In case you didn't notice.
If only I could figure out how to delete the
Cutest-Blog-on-the-Block background that has
attached itself permanently to my html.
I have to cover it with white so it looks like I have NO background.
Still have the little logo in the corner, though.
Gr-r-r-r.
The next day...
And even better than that ~
The next day...
O. M. G.
I just created my new grabbable button for The Fanciful Magpie
(very proud of myself because it worked the first time)
when I went to remove the html for the old button,
THERE was the code for
that *^&%#*@ CBOTB background hiding in the widget!!
I never had so much satisfaction clicking "Delete" :)
So now I have a new button, and a blank slate for my background!
You probably have no idea why I am so happy.
But I am.
:)Have a super fantastic weekend!
absolutely LOVE your new blog makeover Maggie, and I personally think that your new name is even classier than your firs. The fanciful Magpie sounds like a wonderful mash up of a fun loving bird and art that's highbrow and fancy. Love it.
ReplyDeletePrimavera is a great addition to the many, many submissions I've had this week, wow. Thanks for entering, I guess I better get mine finished!! Back to the painting desk. Hehehe.

I think the Fanciful Magpie is a wonderful name! Your Primavera "doodle" is great. I love the falling trail of flowers.
ReplyDeletePrimavera is so pretty! She is a lovely addition to the contest. And I like your new name of "fanciful"...cute.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, Maggie! I also love your new blog header and button. I wish I could figure out how to remove my background and header too. I played with it last weekend and it got all screwy so I just clicked a button to retrieve the unharmed version. lol Anyway I am proud of you for figuring out as much as you have. Have to hunt for a tutorial and let you know if I find a good one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Hugs,
Tammy
Don't you just hate it when people add code they have no business adding? Delete really IS a great action!
ReplyDeletePrimavera is a lovely "doodle." Of course, I wouldn't call it a doodle, especially since she looks more like a work of art and less like a doodle to me! Beautiful entry.
She is so spritely and magical- a glorious spring piece!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fresh and pretty Spring goddess, love the pink flowers in her hair! Your new graphics are gorgeous too, and the perfect personification of "The Fanciful Magpie!"
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love your Pink Spring Goddess! I Know that sounds repetitive from above posts but it's true, she looks sweet and Springy. Never disappointed when I come to your blog! Which is the second thing.....I LOVE IT! Your new banner is PERFECT and the name is as well. A great duet!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully orchestrated! I know you are proud that you figured it all out! The more problems I have the more determined I am that I can do it and then if I have tried everything and I can't...I call on JENN! LOL
Great change..love it.
I LOVE your new title- how perfect for you! And Primavera is wonderful- I love that little hint of "tude" you've given her- awesome!
ReplyDeleteOMgosh Maggie i LOVE your new blog banner & look!!!! Fresh, colorful and beautiful, just like your art, Primavera. :)
