Sweet baby Jesus! I have been trying for a WHOLE WEEK to make my own blog button. I have had button envy every time I see someone's cute little button displayed for all to grab. Well, after many searches, handfulls of pulled hair, and a light bulb moment, I finally did it! PRAISE THE LORD! I can now let my hair grow back... unless it doesn't work and then I'll just pull it out all over again. Eeesh.

For anyone else interested, here is the site that saved my life. Reading the comments was a huge help!

Good Luck!
