woohoo!

With the help of a friend, I learned all about layers, and how to merge them on my image editor so that I could save my banners as jpeg files and therefor be able to use them here at dland. And THEN Andrew, the doll that he is, has granted upon all of us here at dland the ability to determine the number of times our banners are displayed, AND the ability to check the stats for said banners.

YUMMY.

And so is Andrew. :)

Here are the banners I've concocted so far.

My original, and still a favorite.

I've been reading a lot of Laura Joh Rowland this summer. And the ladies at the Emperial Japanese Court always have pillow books, so I thought why shouldn't I?!?

The background for this one is actually a rose called Evelyn, that I planted in my parents backyard 3 years ago. Love that rose. It is soooooo intensely fragrant it perfumes an entire section of the yard. Well, atleast on days where the hot desert sun has not baked the fragrance right out of it. It was bred by the famous British rose breeder, David Austin. I want to be like him when I'm old. Breeding roses that is. It's fragrance is so lovely it's actually bottled by the firm, Crabtree and Evelyn. The saying is from a guest book entry from my dear Corazon.

hugs.
