New Location

I have been really inactive on this blog I found it hard to locate the particular style I wanted when trying to remake ones I had already done and add new ones. In doing this I realized how non-user-friendly it was to have the posts arranged how they were . This website is a recreation of the blog, the update, and more creations. Thus btbandmore 2.0 has been invented to allow a more easily navigated set up. https://aliciarosepoe.wixsite.com/btbandmore
