A Novice Design


I wanted to redo the Christmas design on the blog before we get busy again with school work.  I wanted something different than just putting a picture on the blog.  It's difficult to find the perfect picture to represent our homeschool when I can only choose just one.  So, I created a page with multiple pictures, scanned it into my computer, and loaded it into blogger.  Yes, It is kind of an amateur job.  However, I'm an amateur so I'm not bothered by that. 

It's a small collection of a few of my favorite photos of my homeschool girls from the last year or so.  As you can tell, my girls have a wide age range.   My two public schoolers are not included in the design because this is my homeschool blog and the homeschoolers are my students.  However, if you've read this blog much than you know they are included often in the blog.  They are a part of our homeschool because they are a part of our family.  They just happen, for a couple of various reason, to attend public school.

I played around with the blogger templates.  I've used an outside one before, but it's simpler to stick with the blogger pre-made ones.  I'm not very experienced with this, and these are simple for me to use.  I don't have to worry about saving or losing elements.  One day I may be able to pay someone to design one for me, but until that day I'll just keep my slow learning pace and make use of what is easy for me.
