It is coming…
So you probably all know that my current header on the blog has been made by me. Actually, I really needed one when I impulsively created (will talk about it in another post) my blog and I had NO IDEA what to put there so I was like let’s go with something that matches the title, right? And so, I spent 4 hours creating it. It was VERY long but I thought it fit the blog pretty well…until I wanted something more professional.
Since one of my friends absolutely loves drawing, I immediately went to her and asked her if she had time and interest in creating a header. She did have interest and agreed (for 20$ hehehe–bargain, right??) and so she’s been working on it for 3 weeks now. If you have time, you can check out her blog, Dust of Daydreams. I’m very excited! There is too much pink on this blog, you can admit it freely. 😉 IT NEEDS A CHANGE!
I can’t actually show you much but she just sent me this (unfinished) picture (which will be included on the header) and I really wanted to share it with you guys. Aren’t they just the cutest??
(Do not copy this image without my permission.)
I know you may think that this has nothing to do with the title (the cats) haha but I really want this blog to feel ”welcoming” and what’s more welcoming than cats? Dogs?
Anyway, thank you for reading and please feel free to leave a comment/reaction. 🙂
** Please remember that this is only a small glimpse, not the ”main element” of the header.**
Hit or Miss Books 
The sneak peek looks super cute 🙂 And lol, when I began blogging, my blog – which was also impulsively created – was full of pink too.
