and...

photoshop messer around wither...

There are others too but I couldn't think of them and the whole list thing... it was getting old for me so I thought I would just get on with it...

Shall we?

So that last one... the photoshop one?  It's one of my favorites.  I like to make pretty things in photoshop.  I like to make ugly things in photoshop.  I like to make things in photo shop that make people go

And I like to put about .001% of them up here on line.  I don't use my... umm... brilliance... everyday like some people I read...

But if you've ever seen my headers you've  seen my photoshopiness...  so today for a little kick I thought we would review the evolution of my headers here on mommified me...

My first custom header...  It took me a bit to work out the format for it then it took me the entire rest of the day to figure out how to put it up... as I recently told a friend I just like to make things look pretty, when it comes to the technical bits I'm useless...

I left the first one up for quite some time so when I finally decided to change it, it was kind of a big deal to me.  I left this 2nd one up for a while but in the end I changed it, not because I didn't like it, but because I thought it set a bit of a somber tone for my blog...

So I went really graphic for this one...  This header caused a bit of debate here in the house of Kaos.  You see I work on all my photoshop projects in a dark room with my back in the corner while I rock to and fro to and fro and quietly whisper to myself... so no one gets a peek at them until they make their debut on my blog (except Sybil)... Mr. Kaos always loves new header time as he is excited to see what I come up with... he was a bit taken aback by this one because he felt it was a stark contrast to my other headers which had featured ME... while this does highlight a physical feature of mine it is my back which others seldom see not my face which I shine brightly on the whole world with all of my snarls and glares.

So we moved on to the holidays... this header went up just one month after the ultra graphic tattoo design header.  It was pink, it was black, it had me in profile and it had CHRISTMAS WREATHES!!!!  It's my favorite... my very favorite of all the headers here at mommified me...  I love it so much that I might use it again next year instead of designing a new holiday header...

But the holidays were over and I had to take it down... so this went up.  It's far more simple than the previous one and let me tell you a secret...

I HATE IT.

I do, I hate this header and I don't know why.

But my crack team of experts assure me that I am delusional plus I've decided to limit my header changes to once a month at the most so I am biding my time until enough time has passed and I can unveil my newest header...

How do you make choices about the look of your page?
