In 2009 I committed to changing my masthead every month because I always grew so weary with my site design. What I was really bored with was the concept, not so much the colors or layout. So I decided to switch out my masthead monthly so it would feel fresh each month. Turns out, it was a great idea. What I didn't expect was to feel such sadness at the end of each month when it was time for a change. But as I embarked on each new design, I began to fall in love with the new ideas and had a blast developing them.
Each masthead holds a glimpse into the challenges and growth that Loki & Juno faced over the last year. Each time I think I can choose one which is my favorite, I change my mind and choose another. Because they all mean so much to the challenges they've overcome in one simple artistic statement.

We are voting for December because it so portrays the sibe trait that doesn't go by the rules!
Woos, Phantom and Thunder
Those are great! I like the Halloween one as well, but my favorite is the Thanksgiving one.
I had fun with Dennis's masthead this year too. At the moment it's back to normal though.
Hi Julie. It's difficult choosing because you do such a good job with them all. My gut tells me October; I think because of the "feel", the composition, and the cohesiveness brought by the well blended muted color tones, as well as the positioning of the dogs. My other favorite is July for similar reasons. July's masthead makes the viewer feel the carefree joy of the summer celebration.
They're all great.
Wow that's hard!!!! My husband's favorites are the Halloween and the Thanksgiving ones. My favorites are the Alian vs. Husky and the nap one and the fenced in one. Yeesh I can't choose. I haven't read the stories yet because I'm late for work, but I will later I promise.
January!!!!
Love,
Ammy
Woo khan't make me choose...
I'm a Sibe...
Just ask Juno to choose...bet she won't either!

I think the August one is pretty good, but they are all fantastic. Thanks for posting them all again because we didn't start reading your blog until later in the year, so we missed a lot of them!
May, because my car is that exact same shade of orange as well, and also August, to remind me of The Summer When It Would have Been Lovely To Drink Corona Outside But We Couldn't Because It Was So E**ing Cold, at least in our neck of the woods!
If you were hoping/expecting an in-depth analysis of themes (profound) artistry (deep) and execution (flawless), so very sorry...We are, indeed, that shallow 🙂
August, September and October are my faves. 🙂
January
I gotta go with January. Maybe because we discovered you during the year and never saw it, but it is very cute.
I like January and August! January is so cute and August because who doesn't love two dogs sitting on the beach with Coronas! 🙂
