Have you heard of Pinterest?  I've been viewing Pinterest for a while now, but recently I have really done a lot of pinning of ideas for the classroom.  What am I talking about you ask?  Pinterest is a visual bookmarking site that is chuck full of ideas for the classroom, but also for many other topics as well.

I look forward to sharing more great finds from Pinterest each week.

Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header.
