My first blog layout! Before this, the blog was housed within Restless Innocence, but I chose to separate it out and give it a title and layout of it's own. I really wanted to do something with "Moulin Rouge," but it seemed MR layouts were already all over the place. But no one had a Green Fairy layout, and I just loved the Green Fairy, so Cellophane Flowers was born under her wing.

Olivia is the coolest pig ever. Seriously. If you don't know who Olivia is, I highly recommend reading the Olivia children's books by Ian Falconer. They're sweet, smart, and funny and Olivia is a great character, a perfect pig for my blog.

Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis knows I adore my cousins and am constantly posting pictures of them in the blog. So I figured, why not make a layout featuring them? I had so many pics, it was easy to find fun and silly ones for the layout.

After I bought the "Singin' in the Rain" DVD, I had a huge desire to make a layout for it. So instead of focusing on the whole movie, I chose my favorite scene: Gene Kelly dancing and singing in the rain. And the colors/theme just happened to fit the season when I posted it!

I needed a more spring-like layout near the end of March 2003, and with the end of BtVS fast approaching in May, I figured that would be an appropriate theme. I chose to go with Buffy caps from the episode "Restless" for the layout, as my favorite episode, "Innocence" would have been much to depressing for spring layout. :)

After I saw "Finding Nemo" in May 2003, I just knew I had to make a layout for it. So in June 2003, this layout debuted. As you can probably tell from the amount she's featured in the layout and that quote above the blog, Dory is my favorite character.

In my anticipation for the release of "Return of the King" in December 2003, I had to make another LotR layout. I had already done one for Restless Innocence, and since the blog was due for a new layout, I created this Eowyn layout for the site. Eowyn is one of my favorite characters in the books and the movies, and I found these gorgeous pictures of Miranda Otto as Eowyn and it just had to be done.

I held onto the Eowyn layout for as long as possible, but eventually it had been up almost six months, so the blog was due for a change. I had really been missing Cordy during Season 5 of Angel and after "You're Welcome" aired, I just had to create a layout featuring her. And the purple just seemed to fit her, so the layout was born!

I had a hard time coming up with a new layout idea, but I knew I wanted a change. And with my excitement for the upcoming Season Four of Alias, it just seemed to fit!

So Season Four of Alias didn't quite live up to my expectations, so in April 2005, I had to make a change. And since I'd been falling madly in love with Veronica Mars, it was just a matter of time before it showed up in a layout. This has become the permanent layout for the blog since I decided to close it in November 2005. The archives remain up with this as the layout for the site.
