I would love a new blog layout for my book blog! It started in August 2008 when I was incredibly bored during summer vacation. Till this day I continue to do book reviews and it’s great! However, my layout has been the same almost since it first started! I have no skills with photoshop and html so I never bothered to change it. Would love to see something fresh!

I would love a new blog layout. I’ve done a bunch of things to my blog, but I really need to change it up! I just love how your designs are simple and elegant!
I love the Dear Dreamhouse design – but they are all lovely! The colors on that design are gorgeous!
Hi there,
I think I should win the free blog theme for a few different reasons. One is I have a blog that I own which targets and speaks to real concerns of women and people in general in terms of skin and better wellness. I don’t sell anything, just a real interest in sharing what I’ve learned to hopefully help others with health problems. I’ve gotten compliments on my topics and insights however, the design leaves much to be desired. I am a busy single mom who loves helping others but often finds little time to help my self. While I am pretty knowledgeable in the technical aspects and in coding, design is just NOT my thing. Time and money has just not been there for someone like me who is on a tight budget. I feel I should get a free custom design blog that exudes kindness and sharing to match the message that I write and will continue to write in the future. Thank you for this opportunity you have opened up.

So now that I have been closely looking through your designs I am in love with the colors and fresh look of Luscious Verde. Orange is one of my favorite colors and the background is beautiful! I am thinking of switching to a 2 column…they look less cluttered.
I need a makeover b/c my site is in desperate need of a fresh new look and I love your designs!!! No One would better design my site than you!

It would be wonderful to have a new blog makeover. It would be great to have something that reflects “my loves” more. Home and family.
Not sure I can pick just one of your designs, I like most of them for, all for different reasons.
Because my blog doesn’t look good
That’s why I need a custom blog theme!
