Maybe it's the time of year....the quiet after the chaos, or maybe it's just me, but I am finding a need to clean out the clutter. Here in my home, in the barn, in my stashes and even my blog.
I need some help though because as you can see, what I have here is one of typepad's templates and it is just blah, blah, blah. I like the clean lines and a little less clutter, but I need something to make it feel like home.
Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed and I'm thinking that there could even a little prize too, in-fact I am sure of it. All of the helpful comments (even a hello) will go into the basket for a name to be drawn, later this week. :)
(With all this clutter cleaning, there are sure to be some nice little extras)

Before I forget......a little birdie mentioned that there is a birthday girl in blogland. Go wish Laurie a Happy Birthday and take a look at her new wheel....it's a beauty!!

So many people have asked me how my little friend Morgan is doing and how her tree is growing, so I added a little button on my side bar so that you can watch her tree grow along with me. :-)
If Morgan is feeling up to it, I am hoping to visit with her for a little while next week, when Maggie goes for a touch up before her first show. Morgan's hospice nurse says that while Morgan's body is weak, her spirit is strong. She is a little trooper for sure!!

Does typepad ever make you crazy?? Somehow I managed to delete my Saturday Sky post while trying to figure out how to change the banner. This post was supposed to go up tomorrow....Grrrr.....
Thanks, Kim! It was a good one.

I like the new format. Clean simple, easy to read and I like the banner too! I vote for the new look.
I too find myself wanting to clean out and re-arrange. Hum, is it early Spring Cleaning due to the warm weather we're having here in CT? Don't know, but going to get at it while I have the desire and energy.

Maybe try making the central panel, where the blog entry is, white. May be easier to read. And play around with the fonts -- it's fun!

This is my first visit to your blog. I'm interested in bunnies and happened upon your site after seeing your ad in Wild Fibers.

Hi!
I too liked your Blog the old way.
Thinking of Morgan.

Much easier to read in this format... and cleaner/tidier too. But I think a little blog banner would be a nice addition - maybe something with furry bunny(s)? :)
Still thinking good thoughts for Morgan - I'll bet she will enjoy your visit!

I liked it the old way... Your blog is so warm and friendly...Do you have to change?

I don't know much about Typepad. I agree with you that this layout is nice and streamlined. What about a custom banner up top (didn't you used to have one?) and then change the blog colors to match.

Perhaps some paprika sprinkled on the blog?

I don't think it is blah but how about trying a change of background colors and see if that might perk it up for you. I like the wider reading area.

I can't stop thinking about Morgan and Lisa. Such strength and courage! Thank you for sharing their journey with us.
