Some of you may already have noticed it but I have a new blog design!  It was long overdue.  What you will see is a clean, faster loading, highly readable design with a magazine inspired layout. It should display just right whether you are reading this blog on your smartphone, tablet or computer.

My coding skills are rather limited so I had to have help. So, thank you Templateism for understanding my vision and for all the hard work getting this custom design done. I learned quite a few things along the way too!

I have reorganized many things. I'm now just the Beading Gem as there was no room to fit The Beading Gem's Journal! Overall there is improved navigation to help you find past posts.

The SEARCH box is at top right.  Also in this section are all my social media links.  Click on my photo in the first folder tab and it will take you to my ABOUT page.  The EMAIL subscription box is just below.

The MAIN MENU has drop down choices  :

My favorite new feature is the animated DON'T MISS ticker which rotates some memorable posts and maybe some of my humor. My selection will be updated regularly.

Check it out !  If you only have smartphone access, scroll down to the bottom of your screen and select VIEW WEB VERSION instead of the default mobile view. Tablet owners should see the full blog as those reading from computers.

Do you like it?  And oh, please let me know if something looks awry your end.
