Bansandbutts

Yes you read that right. I have a folder on my desktop with banners and buttons. I try to always put the banners and buttons that I make in this folder. I think I should make it a New Year resolution! lol It would make life so much easier…blogging life, that is!

what a lovely set of banners you have had. I love walking on the beach too. Perhaps it is time for me to change mine for 2013!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today to say hi. I wish you and yours a wonderful 2013.

Happy New Year my dear friend!

After the new year you have to give me a tutorial on making the banners. I can't remember how I made mine.

I've always loved your banners. You just reminded me of what my 2012 meant to me. The most important part was my retirement. 2012 just flew so fast that I almost forgot! Here's wishing you and your family a wonderful New Year.

You have had some great ones! I like the last of your searching for seashells. Good tip about the folder just for banners and buttons. I'm going to try to do that. Is JOY going to be your word for 2013? Have a Very Happy New Year!

I always love your pretty banners. I especially like the third one, I guess it's you, walking on the beach. It looks so peaceful.
I got tickled when I saw your title, I had to check it out, bans and butts, ban sand butts? You got me curious! :-)
Happy New Year,
Dorothy and Wilma

Such beautiful banners we've gotten to enjoy this year, Diane..that is a wonderful collection! I am wishing you a peaceful and healthy, happy new year ahead..and thank you for sharing your creative and inspiring place with all of us!

I always have the hardest time making banners. I envy those of you who change them all the time and often wonder how you do them so often. I usually do one in the spring and another in the fall. I'm hoping the new one I made is one I will like long term.

Since your blog is a lifestyle blog about your life, my favorite banner was the one on the beach with you in it.

Thanks for the very warm welcome. I just returned to my blog on Saturday night, so you didn't miss anything! Will have to catch up with you soon. Have a very Happy New Year!

What a great idea! I don't know why I've never thought of doing this. There have been times when I've gone back in my photos, trying to find a banner or a button I have used in the past. I'm setting up a folder like this right now! Thank you for the inspiration. laurie
