Here is how I did it...

Many of you are wondering how I changed my background. I have to give the credit to Jeniel Mickelsen, who showed me, but here is how:

This web site not only walks you through it (on the far right side below "You Must Do This First) but has some pages that you can use. I created my own from digital scrapbooking stuff I have (all free from the web!), saved it on photobucket (after creating an account), then from photobucket I could get the html code to put on the "direct link" like it says on the website instead of puting one of theirs in. To create my own (I used Photo Shop Elements 4.0, again from a friend, I have the BEST friends!!!) it took alot of trial and error in trying to size it correctly, but was worth my time. The title "The Huston Family" I also made in PSE, but saved it as a JPEG and added it directly from my computer. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
