who knew?!

lately i've been messing around with designing blog headers. i used to only know how to edit with picnik, but i've recently discovered a program called paint.net that is basically a free knock off version of photo shop, that has allowed me to take my creativity to the next level!
since then, i've designed a few headers for a few friends and family members. as a proud mama of her new found hobby, i thought i'd share a few:
