Ho hum, a new blog design?

Well what do you think? I am going with a superhero theme this year and I have never designed my own blog, just used the templates. I am so jealous of all the cute blogs I see out there and decided to take a stab at it. My husband is a web designer and would probably laugh at me if I showed him what I had done. But I am proud of my creation even if I did waste over an hour working on it just to avoid working on portfolio entries for class. We'll call it a work in progress as I am not completely satisfied with the header... it's still kind of blah and I don't like the font, but I didn't want to spend too much time until I made sure how this whole designing a blog thing worked out. 


Well anyway I went into my classroom yesterday and felt good about what I accomplished in a little less than 4 hours! Organization is underway... I spent most of my time labeling, and sorting books!



This will soon be our meeting/reading area. Still working at the logistics and look at those sad, bare, black walls :(


This is the area I am most proud of clearing out. Almost everything that is laying out does not belong. Curriculum we no longer use, 4th grade books that need to come home, and questionable stuff that I need to discuss with our reading specialist! However all MY stuff officially has a home in a cabinet!

  1. Oh my gosh, you made the background yourself? Teach me! I am having a horrible, horrible horrible time trying to get mine into Warholish cupcakes...

  2. Actually I did it in a very unprofessional way ;) I just staggered the four images in publisher, selected them all, right clicked and did 'save as picture.' Then in my backgrounds on blogger I just added as background and selected tile. Nothing too special!

  3. Well, I'll try it. I've had zero luck thus far trying everything else...
