001; you may have noticed i have changed the blog colour scheme from pale pinks to more intense rich colours. this wasn't really intentional. i was kinda bored & fancied a different direction especially as autumn is arriving & i'm gaining new followers. i think that these colours reflect me better as a person as i'm not a very 'pink' kind of girl if that makes sense :/ anyway, i still need to fit the background properly & make a few more changes but overall i'm relatively happy. what do you think of the new banner/new colours? be as honest as you like.

002; it's mine & luke's 7 month anniversary today! d'aww. i can honestly say i've never been happier. 7 months doesn't really sound like a long time but we've been through a lot together in that time what with my illness etc. i cannot thank him enough for being there for me even when times were tough. i love him so much. we are gunna celebrate by just chilling out, going out for a meal, watching a movie or two & lots of kisses. i can't believe he goes to university this week - not fun huh! anyone else in/been in a similar situation and wanna share some advice? it'd be much appreciated. thankssssss.

003; you can now follow my blog with bloglovin! if you so wish. i'm not really sure how the site works or whatever but i'll stick with it for now! there's a little follow with bloglovin' link to the left hand side of this very blog. go check it out!

004; i spent an hour or so the other evening trying to draft up some blog buttons. i'm really horrendous at designing things like that :/ i'm trying to make them match my banner but they're coming out too plain. *see example below*. anyone got any tips on how i can improve the overall look of them & make them a little more....bloggy. ha. i'm terrible.

005; i've added a new 'contact me' tab at the top of the page (: if you ever wanna contact me for whatever reason all the details are there! i've decided to keep my formspring for now so please stop by & leave a few questions!

*i believe that is all. take care & i'll see you tomorrow for my 'h is for happy' post.
