I want to show you how to make a GRAB IT BUTTON Box.  It may seem like a daunting task, but I will take you step by step.  First of all I'm going to assume you already have a button.  If you don't, you can use Paint, PhotoShop or any other photo editing program. The normal size for these are 125 x 125. 

STEP ONE: You will need to have a PHOTO hosting account to store your button graphic/picture.  The one I use is PHOTOBUCKET  You are going to need the URL address of the stored button picture. Below is a picture to show you what I'm talking about.

STEP TWO: Log into your blogger account.  Then go to the design page.

Once you're there click add a gadget, then another box will appear and you will choose the option HTML/JavaScript. Then another box will appear that looks like this:

The code you will paste will look like the code below but with your links. You will need to take mine out and copy and paste yours in...if you want you can practice by going here or here. So...copy and paste the code below either in notepad or the html practice board.

<div align="center"> <a href="http://carolinaclosetonebay.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="ebay tips" src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/myvintagelady/grabitbuttonccc2.jpg"/></a> </div> <div align="center"> <form><textarea rows="5" cols="15"><center><a href="http://carolinaclosetonebay.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="ebay tips" src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/myvintagelady/grabitbuttonccc2.jpg"/></a></center></textarea></form> </div>

Below I highlighted my blog address and photo address, replace your address links in those areas. Pay attention and make sure you don't leave out the quotation marks ( " ) The HTML needs to stay exactly the same.

Once you have pasted the code, click save and preview your work.  I hope I have explained this well, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Sew Retro!

The other day I went to visit a couple of friends of mine for lunch, which was very yummy by the way.  We had homemade chili, corn muffins and an awesome salad! And for dessert we had homemade strawberry shortcake…I knew I must be in strawberry heaven! It was the best I have ever had!

While we were eating one of my friends jumped up and said “OH, I have something I want you to see”.  She showed me this book called Sew Retro which she had recently bought.  I thumbed through it and was inspired to get myself a copy.  In the mean time she let me borrow it until mine comes in.  I can’t wait to get it! It looks like some simple patterns that is easy for most anyone to follow.  Also there are some interesting history facts that was quite interesting to me too!  If this sounds like something up your alley you should check it out too by going here! Enjoy!

Up for auction that will be ending soon is this darling vintage 70s sleeveless black and white top with a pussy bow tie.  There are so many options on how you can wear this.  I have it paired with a black skirt, but you could also wear this with a white skirt or pants. I can also see this with a wide black belt or even white.
