How Do You Like Me Now?

Well, I was inspired by Lula to make some changes in my blog... she was sad when I posted a new post because it moved the lovely hand drawn.... drawings... down.

So, I made a new header... now you can see hand-drawn... drawings... every time you log into my site! Isn't that EXCITING??????

Settle down now.

I'm trying to learn how to make my own little headery things for each of the sections and all that, but I'm only so good.

And, in more encouragement from a number of sources, you'll probably be seeing the hand-drawn... drawings... on a more regular basis.

Look out Renior.

If I can't get into the White House, perhaps I can get into the Smithsonian.

Oh, and just to be political for a minute...

This series of posters of President Elect Obama ALWAYS reminded me of something:


Last night it finally dawned on me... they remind me of this:


ETA - I'm ONLY saying the graphic design of the two ads... I'm not making any reference in regards to chicken or any other really bad racial sterotype... I honestly didn't even THINK about it til someone e-mailed me. So please... know I'm ONLY refering to the design!!!!!

Isn't that ironic!

LOVE the hand drawn heading. So cute.

Kori said...

I love the new header but where are your glasses? Or are you wearing contacts on this particular day to the hot tub.

Ooo, ooo I know it's because the heat from the hottub (or from Mr.B) are going to steam them up. Right? Yep I'm always right. lol

Debbie said...

Oh my goodness you are so right!!! They both have something in common...a secret recipe...because he is still keeping the solutions to his promises a secret!

BBB said...

ACK!!! Kori-Kins is RIGHT!! I forgot my glasses!!!

I will fix that tonight!!!

Heather said...

Love the header! You are SO artistically talented! :D

As for the Obama v Sanders poster comparison, thanks for making me snort Triscuit out my nose. Yeah, that *is* as fun and pleasant as it sounds.

I know, serves me right for snacking at the computer, and/or for eating Triscuits at 10:30 in the morning. But hey, at least it isn't Halloween candy...

Happy Monday!

Caroline said...

Nice new shiny header - love it! And those pictures are amazingly similar - you are more than right on that one. Maybe some of Obama's changes will be as "finger-lickin' good" as the Colonel's chicken.

Lauren W said...

Why Lizzy, what a lovely header! If you decide that you're feeling extra artsy, I can show you how to make the sidebar headers. It's super easy :)

Tara R. said...

Thanks for the chuckle!

Love the new header too.

Unknown said...

I so see the resemblance!!!

Love the stick figures

Mama Wheaton said...

The header is great, the comparison even better!

Nina said...

Love the drawing that is cute.
I laughed at your picture comparision. Too funny!!!

Visiting from SITS, your name was above mine on the roll call this morning.

Nik said...

LOVE the header! You KNOW I love stick figures ;>

Swirl Girl said...

Andy Warhol's 'Munroe' or the Colonel?

And I love your header...where's Lula and her big boobies?

Nonnas News said...

I thought it reminded me of something too but I couldnt figure out what... maybe this was it!

Ronnica said...

Oh my, that's hilarious. That thought hadn't even occured to me!

jennifersusan said...

Jennifer and Sandi said...

Jennifer and Sandi said...

KimmyJ said...

ok -now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

Susie said...

Great new look:-)

Frizzy said...

Love your little people header! I wish I could help with the heading titles you're asking about. I'm pretty clueless until someone takes me by the hand and shows me how to do something step by step.

sassy stephanie said...

Go you with your bad self!

KFC cracks me up!

Gina said...

Wait, I thought he was black. He looks blue and red here.... I'm just sayin'.

Ronda's Rants said...

I love the new header ...you are so talented!

J'Ollie Primitives said...

LOVE the header! If you like to play with things you might like www.scrapblog.com. You can make all kinds of little stick figure headers there. I think.

Jen said...

the new header in great. Good work!

Keys to the Magic Travel said...

We need to find someone with mad photoshop skills. So that you can add your glasses. And instead of a white background on your header, we can super impose you in front of the white house...or the Smithsonian. Or something...

Michelle said...

You Rock!!

Love it.

Heather said...

Who knew stick figure art could be so cool?

I love it! And of course, I love Mr. B's plaid shirt. What a hottie!

Anonymous said...

Okay...who had to take it THERE? Fried chicken and racial slurs....ugh. It's a blog! It's funny! Laugh, people. Stop over analyzing. LAUGH.

Putting the megaphone down now and slinking back to the back of the crowd...

Teri said...

I love your new header. Way creative. You should create greeting cards. :-)

I have missed out on a lot here lately. So so busy with my school that I've neglected a few of my fave blogs. Less than 4 weeks!!!!

The Nice One said...

LMAO. YOu should have warned me not to take a big sip of coffee before reading your blog.
Funny, because when I started seeing that O graphic, I was like, "hmm, that's familiar..." and now I know why!

i love the new look!!!!

Shannon said...

LOVE it!

First thing I noticed was Mr. B's plaid shirt... and then the fact that he has no pants on. And then I noticed you and the girls are nekkid.


As for the Obama posters... they do look like the KFC ones! That is hilarious!

wendy said...

Bahahahaha! too funny. I love the new header!

Melisa S. said...

That's funny that you had to add the blurb at the end...cause I automatically saw it as a bad stereotype but knew that was not you!

Anonymous said...

Oh, I see what you mean.....with the coloring in the pics...it is very similar...thats funny.

Britt said...

I love your new header!

The similarities made me giggle

Methinks people read too far into things sometimes :o)

Lula! said...

You know I am loving this...and loving yet another shoutout to me, 'cause you are my people and we gotta let the world know that we are thick like thieves.

You are SO right about the Hope and the Secret Recipe of Herbs and Spices.

You are a genius and I love you in many ways.
