Posted in Site Updates, Work
I’ve finally finished my layout! It’s taken me forever to do but I’m pretty pleased at the outcome. The craters could have been a bit better and I now realise how hard it is to draw girls curves on Photoshop, and hair. In fact pretty much all of it. I used Catherine’s tutorial for the people. The layout is based on a song Saving Grace – The Maine and this is my interpretation of that line of the song.
I’ve also opened my writing portfolio http://rainbowcrush.org which I also did the layout for. I only created a simple layout for that so it wouldn’t detract from the rest of the site. I also took the photograph, which is a place called Collioure that I visited last year.
Now i’ve got the layout up I’m going to be changing a few things around on the site. I’m sure I say this so many times but I forget haha! Yeah I’m getting rid of most of my resources and concentrating on a select few instead.
I finish work next week full time which I’m glad about because it was getting on my nerves. However I’ve got a permanent part time position there for 12 hours a week so I’m really happy about that because I need the money, especially as I want to buy myself a car. I’ve been hunting around for one but I haven’t seen one I like at the moment.
OMG! The new layout is so cute! I’ve always wanted to try making illustrations for my layouts but I don’t know what kind of illustration I should do, and it is quite hard!
OO. You opened a portfolio
Can’t wait to read some writings from you! 
LOL. That job is really getting in your nerves. But at least you work less hours now, right? But its still good to become a permanent part timer since you get money. ARGH. I really need to get myself a job!

Yeah, I’ll take a picture of the highlights
I really love it. I was scared at first but nah, its really nice!
LOL. Its because I was always taught how to use a spoon and fork to eat, so its kind of effy when I’m using a fork and knife combination. I know! She should have just leave me alone and enjoy my food.
I know, I miss Tyson but Sasha is so like them, it’s really weird! Yeah I think Cindy was a lab! She was cute but I’m glad she found a home.
Awww, your poor cat! I’m not surprised he was like that first, bless him.
It’s sad when you know about your rescued pet’s past life. Awww sorry about your other cat! 
Hyperthyroidism is a horrible thing for people so I can imagine what it’s like for a pet!
Haha awww. It sucks having money sometimes cause you just wanna spend it all! Wow you spent £94 on two dresses?
I would never pay that haha. I’m really tight when it comes to buying clothes. LOL I wouldn’t say you’re a beach ball hahahaha. I don’t have any hips, but my doctor says it’s cause I never developed properly because of my bowel problem/losing weight. He said I’d “get hips” when I gained weight. o_O
Wow, I love the new layout! It looks like you put a lot of effort into it and the outcome is great! I wish I could do illustrations aha.
I love the layout on the writing portfolio too! I have another domain which I bought last month, I was going to do a portfolio but I can’t make graphics or anything like that so there would be no point aha.
That’s great you finish work full time and awesome they gave you a part time job! You might not hate it as much only working there part time haha. Good luck saving up for a car!
Woo writing portfolio! I’m glad you found a use for that domain as well. .org is such a lovely extension and I love your site name in a .org too!
I like the photo you took there too. I used one for my writing portfolio at dreamingless.com too, because I didn’t want to make anything too fancy since the focus is totally on my writings. 
Congratulations on the permanent position! Hopefully you’ll be saving your money up too.
I love the new layout! It’s so cute. I’ll admit I liked the colours in the other one better but this one looks just as good. I don’t have Illustrator so I don’t think I could pull off anything like this.
Thank you for your comment on my layout! ^_^ I still think yours is great though.
My layout looked weird without the sidebar, but it is more spacious and I do like it that way too. I was always so attached to my sidebar!
I don’t think I had the love quote from Corinthians; I just wanted people’s views that were more unique, not just totally quoted from a movie or book or anything.
Yeah it is heavy lugging my laptop around! I love my laptop but I think I, and he! just needed a big break. :P
I know what you mean. :P I love the story I’m working on at the moment but there’s a beginning, end and no middle. My ideas are always unfinished like that. But I just gotta keep remembering, quality not quantity. Doesn’t matter how much I write, it has to be good.
Oh that is good! Before we got wireless, I had to use a cable to connect my laptop to the internet. I still could sit on my bed though
I adore the layout! It shows that you put it effort and time to it. Well done =)
wow, this layout looks beautiful! I don’t think I’d have the patience to put so much effort into a layout aha!
Love the writing portfolio too, the layout on there is gorgeous as well (: can’t wait to see new writing up on it!
i would hate to work at a place that got on my nerves, but you got a part time position which is good to hear c: at least it’s not as many hours now, so hopefully it’ll get a lot awesomer !
Aww, this is adorable! I love The Maine, as well, have you ever seen them live? They were at Warped Tour here, once.
Lots of people seem to be streamlining their resources lately. I haven’t really had any since 2006, but I used to have other content and then I got rid of ALL of it, but then I brought some back. So indecisive!
The layout is wonderful! I wish I could make people like that, I might try out the tutorial
I’m loving the look of the portfolio, I can’t wait to see what you’ve been writing
I wish I had a job to drive me crazy, I need the money. Hopefully I’ll get one whilst I’m at university, if not I’ll just have to be skint! I also wanted to save up for a car, for when I eventually take my test. I want to get Ford KA, something small
Thanks.
I love yours too, I’ve always wished I could use Illustrator but I just don’t think it’s meant to be. I also have major issues controlling the pen tool, haha.
I love the photo on your portfolio, it’s really pretty.
Where’s Collioure though? I’ve never heard of it. 
My boyfriend is saving up for a car at the moment too. :/ They’re so expensive nowadays and it’s so hard to find one you like. Good luck, though! I hope you get one soon. <3
I really like this layout.
The illustration looks really good.
I need to have a sort through my site as well. I keep saying I’ll do it, but I never seem to get round to it. I’ve already scrapped most of the resources I had and just have a few now. I guess I’ll get round to sorting it one of these days.
Ooh, I hope you find a car that you like soon. It took me ages to find a car before. It felt like I was looking forever, but I finally found one on the Autotrader website.
Then I found another one at a garage about a year later. I’m sure you’ll find one before you know it.
