Blog Design Change Once Again – I was Bored

October 9th, 2009


If you’ve clicked on Peeking Between the Pages, don’t be scared. You are in the right place. I’ve been bored with the bright pink color for a while and it was bothering my eyes so I moved on to my next favorite color – blue and redid my blog again. Hope you all like it!

I plan on getting my blog designed one of these days but it takes time to decide what you really want for it so I’m taking my time because once I do it, it’s there to stay.

No other news for you today. Buddy is staying relatively stable although I think his tummy may be bothering him today. I’m hoping it isn’t though. I’ll know within the next day for sure. My dad had one test done yesterday with very positive results. He still has his heart test to go though.

Ok, that’s it for now. I’m off to feed the dog, make some dinner and then relax with my knitting and Ghost Whisperer tonight. Hope everyone has had a wonderful day.

    Dar: I love it! I love the new header picture – everything looks really nice. And I think it's easier on my eyes, too! Good to know your dad and Buddy are doing O.K. Hope that continues. No Ghost Wisperer for me, tho — it's back to the books ;)

    I like it, I like the border the best and lighter colors are easier on the eyes….

  3. Janel says:

    I really like the embossed background and vines along the edge. Very nice!

  4. softdrink says:

    Very soothing. I know what you mean about getting bored! I always say never again, then I end up getting sick of my color scheme.

  5. Lisa says:

    Love the new look! Hope Buddy continues to be well and I'm glad to hear that your dad got good results.

  6. Zia says:

    Wow I really like the change! Did you make it yourself? I really want to move to a 3 row design but worried about losing stuff in the change. I'm a nervous nelly lol.

  7. Diane says:

    I loved your other blog, but this light blue is very easy on aging eyes…LOL thanks. Sending good wishes for Dad and Buddy, and you too, of course.

  8. carla says:

    It looks really nice!
    I don't know about blogs but i know i change my computer background every few days because i get tired of it.
    Glad to hear that your dad and Buddy are feeling better.

  9. Amy says:

    Your blog looks wonderful, I love the flowers, they're so pretty. I hope Buddy is okay and his tummy isn't acting up. It's too difficult to see our fur babies feel poorly. Hope things are good for your dad, too.
    Have a nice Friday night and a good weekend, Dar.

  10. Ms. Lucy says:

    It looks great! I love blog makeovers:) Have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Thanksgiving:)Hugs xoxoxo

  11. Kate says:

    It looks really nice. And the header is so pretty.

  12. Ti says:

    I think it looks great! I purchased a domain name and am switching to wordpress this weekend. I am done with all the little stuff and just need to import my posts and comments over. If all goes well I will announce he move on Sunday. My domain name is a lot shorter than what I have now so I am happy about that. It's the little things!

    Hope Buddy is okay. Poor thing.

  13. Veens says:

    I love it.. and that site has so many NEW Backgrounds :)

    Thank you! I am changing mine :D

  14. Veens says:

    how do u create your headers! wow!

  15. The Book Resort says:

    Love the pink, but love this softer side too.

    Seems everyone is getting a blogover these days.

    Happy Buddy & your dad are doing well, Dar.

    Hugs to all.

    Ghost Whisperer is one of my faves & I watch the Canadian channel & just to see the pumpkin spice Tim horton commerical. lol.

  16. Alaine - Queen of Happy Endings says:

    It looks beautiful!

  17. Louise says:

    It looks great – I am also thinking of having it designed (cannot do such things myself), but you are right, once its there its to stay. But then what happens once you are tired of that ;o)

  18. Sandy Nawrot says:

    Love the new look! I have yet to change my blog, because I'm scared I'll screw it up! But I liken blog designs to hair styles, especially for women. You have to change things up now and again. (My daughter is a huge fan of The Ghost Whisperer. We have to rent the various seasons of the episodes on Netflix…)

  19. Jen - Devourer of Books says:

    I really like the new look, and I'm so glad that you're getting hopeful results!

  20. Nymeth says:

    Well done, Dar! It looks lovely :)

  21. Susan Helene Gottfried says:

    I'm digging it, babe. Why have a total redo? This is awesome.

  22. Vivienne says:

    Your blog is looking lovely. Glad to hear that Buddy is stable and that your dad's test came back with good results. I hope you are OK though and that you are taking it easy.

  23. Madeleine says:

    Everything is so warm and welcoming, I love it!!!!

    I am happy to hear your dad did good on his medical tests nd that Buddy is stable.

    Have a nice week-end Dar

    xox

  24. Nely says:

    Very pretty – love the new look Dar. I hope Buddy feels better.

    ♥Nely

  25. Bingo says:

    Dar how great is that! Do you do it all yourself? I have to have help so pretty much stay the same and just add little things…which is better as I would probably change monthly and totally confuse people. I love the look….very chic and calming!

  26. Robinbird says:

    It looks great! I love it! I've been playing around with a blog makeover myself but I want to switch to three columns and haven't found one I really like (and that matches my header!).

    Great job!

  27. lilly says:

    I know what you mean about the blog design, it is difficult to commit to one thing with so many awesome layouts out there. It took me I think about 5 or six changes before I decided on the one I have.
    I hope your little puppy will be finally getting better soon.

  28. Ladytink_534 says:

    Glad Buddy is going okay. The new look is very nice! Reminds me a bit of some of Shabby Blog's backgrounds

  29. Literate Housewife says:

    I love the blue color, Dar! I think you made a great choice. I'm also glad to know that everyone is doing better.

  30. itsJUSTme-wendy says:

    OOOO! I really like the new look!
    I am glad Buddy is holding his own. And good news about your father!

  31. Andreea says:

    I love this new design and now I am jealous because I also want to have it:)

    I am glad to hear that everything is fine with your dad and Buddy and I hope that it continues.

  32. Literary Feline says:

    I love the new look, Dar! I hope Buddy's tummy troubles have passed. It's so hard when our animals are sick. We want so much to comfort them and make their troubles go away.

    I am happy to hear the tests came back with promising news. Hopefully the heart tests will have similar results. Fingers crossed!

    I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I think hubby and I may take in that movie today that we missed yesterday since he was feeling under the weather.

  33. Alyce says:

    I like the new design! I understand what you mean about taking some time until you pick something permanent. This design is definitely easy on the eyes.

  34. libritouches says:

    Oooh, this looks gorgeous, Dar. (And I'm so, so very sorry for being such a horrible commentor/person and not writing to wish poor Buddy and your dad well. *sends them healing vibes* I'm glad to hear things seem to be improving on your side, though. *offers hugs, still ashamed of herself*)

  35. Staci says:

    I do love the new colors!! I'm giving mine a face life tomorrow…have to go through my photos that I took of the fall colors a few years ago. I'm coming your way sometime so that you can show me how to knit!! LOL!!..

  36. Melody says:

    I love the new look, Dar! And the header is simply gorgeous!

  37. Alice Teh says:

    The rose header is lovely. I love the colour.

  38. Carol says:

    I love the new look. I'm glad your dad got some positive results and that Buddy's doing better.

  39. Missy says:

    As much as I grumble about disliking change, I DO like to change my blog page. Alot! I love yours – it looks great!!
    I think it is so much fun to play around with backgrounds and such. Hopefully one day I will buy Photoshop and then will be able to be even more creative.

    Have a great day!

  43. Melissa - Shhh I'm Reading says:

    I LOVE the new color scheme!

    like the new color scheme, though the title still looks pink to me.
