Get Your Smooch On

My LiveJournal has been “smoochified.” I normally don’t do mushy, but I came across this old drawing of mine and felt the urge to use it in a layout:

Smooch!

I added the style sheet to the LJ themes page in case anyone else wants it. I had a few drops of creative juice left over after finishing the layout, so I made a bunch of icons as well.

In other news, my mom is now a blogger. I guess everyone and his mother really does have a blog these days :-P She chose Mrs. B for her screen name and refers to my dad as Mr. B and me as Miss B in her entries. I love it, haha!

To my knowledge, my dad has yet to join the blog-wagon. He does visit this site regularly, though. (Hi, Dad!) Sometimes we’d be eating dinner and he’d say, “By the way, in your links page you missed an ‘I’ in ‘visiting.’” Who needs Spell Check when you have a perfectionist father going over your website?

    • It’s so very cute that your mum’s blogging…if I ever caught my parents doing anything vaguely internet-savvy, I just may keel over with shock and die!

    • I saw that LJ theme! I am actually thinking about using it, or your other pretty garden one as mine, because I’m really rather over the pre-exixting LJ templates (and I am hopeless with LJ!)

      Not everyone has a blog yet :P My mother is still wondering how you turn a computer on!

    • Amanda – I know! It took me a while to get used to the idea :-P

      Tracey – I’m glad you like the themes! :-) LJ does give me massive headaches sometimes.

    • Oh your mother has blog! How adorable! I think I’ll go stalk her, then your dad if he ever gets one, and then I’ll be a stalker of your whole family! Bwahahaha! Does that scare you? LOL!

      If my mum ever got a blog, my blog would die, or become completely private.

    • Hey!
      I found your link from PetShopGirl Reviews, and I would just like to compliment you on your beautiful site and artwork! I’m extremely impressed by your layout – the illustration is amazing, as is the rest of your portfolio! I also had a read of your site, and would just like to say how nice I found it – informative and friendly! I especially like the fact that your mum blogs! Anyway…I’ll stop babbling on. What a great site!

    • That image makes even the cynic in me go, “awwww’! So cute.

      That’s so cute that your mom is blogging. But I don’t think I’d find it cute if mine were to. I’m grateful my parents are kind of old-fashioned when it comes to that! :)

    • Hey I like this form you have here, what a unique idea to just put the dotted line underneath the text so it’s like you’re writing! Anyways…

      That’s great that your dad got into blogging. My dad actually does the same thing in that he tells me about things that he thought were cute on my site or needed changing and he visits often. It’s pretty neat to have a dad that interested in your creative talents!

    • Nice LJ layouts and icons :) . Congrats that your mom is a blogger :D ! Haha, lucky you.. don’t need a spell checker anytime soon ;D!
