Happy day after Christmas. I hope everyone had a splendid holiday. It was quite the whirlwind for us. We left at the crack of dawn and headed down to my Dad's house where we opened gifts with our sons, my dad and my sister.
In the evening the entire family (minus a few that had been felled by Winter colds) got together for more gift opening and a huge dinner.
I am looking forward to another nine (!) days off before I have to return to work. I fully intend to relax every single day.
As you may have noticed I have done a little redecorating around here. Not sure if I am done yet. I wanted something soothing and simple. I am going back and forth between two layouts and I decided to let you vote. Which do you prefer:
All flax back ground –
Or the added touch of pale blue for the side bars –
Yep those are the big decisions I am making this week. That is as taxing as it will get.
I may clean out the closet in my office/studio/dining room. But we'll see. It is a hot mess and I'm not sure if I have the fortitude to tackle it right now. I would love to turn it into strictly sewing related storage but we'll see. Right now it is the closet equivalent of a junk drawer.
No surprise coming from me but I like the pale blue. Also it is Under a BLUE Moon. Works for me! Only 364 shopping days until Christmas….Ack!
I vote for the blue too!!
I like the pale blue sidebars. And I especially like the clear buttons!
Love the new look and I like the blue. Happy New Year.
Hi Andrea! I too like the contrast of the pale blue side bars. Glad to hear you enjoyed Christmas with your family! I did as well. We laughed for 3 days straight! And, after a lenthy trial, voted the Andreatini as the official drink for our New Year’s Celebration this weekend!
The blue is pretty.
I hope that you get to party hearty this New Years!
Cast my vote for blue…easier to read and soothing.
I’m a newbie to your blog and I’m lovin’ it.
One more vote for the blue side bars…..good luck with that closet, with 9 days off, you could spend just an hour or two a day working on it and make some great progress! Enjoy your vacation!
LOL… ot oh… I fear I might be the only person voting to version 1. I just like the way it makes the individual posts stand out more.
But, I’m fine with the blue.
Blue is winning, and that’s where my vote goes, too! (maybe it’s just because I painted my bedroom pale blue a month ago?) Happy Holidays and merry vacation to you!
I vote for the blue. It is a very pretty color. Merry Christmas and Happy 2011.
Oh dear, they’re both very nice but I’m another contrarian. I vote for the all flax. Like LisainCT, my first thought was that it highlights and focuses the eye on the individual posts. It’ll be interesting to see the final results!
I like the all flax. It looks classier.
