The gals from Smitten Blog Design have many free options to freshen your gig for 2009. Out with the old, in with the new.
They also offer other options for fancier designs........but you gotta pay for those.........unless..........you win one HERE! Yep, we are giving away a blog design.
They are gracious enough to offer a give away of one of their limited edition templates.
You have no idea how envious I am of anyone who possesses this talent. Here I sit with an outdated PhotoShop Elements.........that I'm still poking around with.
Would you look at these pears?
Or perhaps you're a candy corn kind of gal..........or guy.To be included in this give away, you know I have at least one hoop for you to jump through (by the way.......I am the Wii hula hoop champion in my household.........just saying) 1.) Besides leaving me a comment 2.) I want you to also sign up as a "follower"...........no kool aid will be served........if you scroll down.....way down......you'll see a Thank You button.....because seriously, I am thankful for all of you readers.............then you'll see a bunch of pretty faces........Just click and become a follower..........yes, it's a shameless way for me to feel wanted.
Oh, and if you could care less about a giveaway........or becoming a "follower"..........the pups have been born. OH MY GOSH! I want the black one.
Edited to add: Lots of you are saying you already have me on your reader! That's fab! I only wanted you to join my follow list to make it look like I had lots of friends, like I was popular...........LOL........ my self esteem must be low today.........or I'm re-living jr.high.
Edited to add.....again: I guess I was just so excited about looking so popular that I forgot to say when the deadline is. Geesh. How about Friday 5pm. Pacific time.
Also, when you become a follower of mine, I will follow yours.

I have been following for quite awhile now and love it!!! I could use a blog re-design, as I have no photoshoping abilities whatsoever.
I am now a faithful follower! I have been visiting a while, but there is something nice about making it official.
I'm doing a home tour on tuesdays. Everyone come check it out! Lot's of cute, cheap ideas for decorating a little boy's room today! thanks, I hope I win!!!
You've been on my google reader for a while now and now I'm a follower (that doesn't make me a stalker, does it?). Would love the chance at a cool blog redesign. Thanks.
I'd love a blog design, any design is better than what i have right now.
I follow you already though anonymously. Does that count?
My friends have a labradoodle they call, "Dood" (Dude). He is a really big dog! I don't think people realize just how big these animals can get.

Oh! I need this!
And I am off to follow!
I'd really love to win! You're in my reader, but I'll follow you too! :)

ok, ok, you've got me- except, i am pleading for a loophole- i'm a faithful reader, but through google reader- does that count?????? :) i love your tips and recommendations!

My blog could sure use a facelift so I will delurk on this post. I have followed you for most of 2008 in reader and love your blog. I will click the follow me link though.
I check your site everyday - so I guess I should be a stalker - right?! Um I want one of those puppies too!
Hi! Here's my comment. I don't see a thank you button though? And I don't know what that's all about anyway!?!?
You're in my reader though and I always check ya!

I already have you in my blog reader, but now I am a follower as well.
I am so glad that I found your blog. It's ok to be shamless and promote your blog. It's pretty awesome!
Love your blog! And...a new blog look would be wonderful! Now...I will become a follower!
You are a real inspiration. Love your blog and would love to update mine. I am a shamelessly a follower, LOL...
What a great giveaway! I'm currently working with someone, so please exclude my name from the giveaway, but I think it's a great idea. Have a wonderful day :)
I wish I had the skills to update my blog like that! Love all the great places you tell us about! I'm now a follower!!
Oh how I'd love to win this! I've been wanting a fresh new look, and just don't have the energy to do it myself.
Oh, and I'm now following you!!
~Tidymom
I am now a follower! Although I had you bookmarked and checked for updates everyday already, I suppose this is probably easier.
I sure would love to have a new blog design!!!
I could use a new look for the New Year, too!
doesn't it make you sad when you don't have new followers every day???? I'm a comment whore. Maybe if my blog were prettier... hmmmm .... ;-) LOL
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win!!! :)
I love the pears too! I wish I had that talent also. I would love to redesign my blog everyother day.
Best,
Hey, this would inspire me to have a REAL blog. What a nice prize.
I just started my blog and haven't done a thing to it yet so this would be a great way to start!!!!
I sure hope I get lucky on this one, I have yet to win anything but not from a lack of trying.
Lori
Oh my god, if I don't win this, I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!
Please blog contest gods, I know I've entered more than my share this week, hoping to win. If I win this blog design, which I'll so cherish and pretend was designed exactly for me,...
I would love to win - thanks for the chance! I've been reading your blog (nearly) every day for a long time now, and I am now an official 'Follower'!
Been reading and using your blog for a while now. I became an "official follower" just to make you happy. I now I would be happy for the same reason, especially since I only have two official followers :( I just recently started back in the blogging world and am working on building my site, not because I actually have anything useful to say but just to meet new people. Love your blog. :)
Brandy :)
I'm so glad I found your blog. I love all the great ideas. I am now a follower...and it's funny, I am doing my first ever giveaway at my blog next week and I was going to give an extra point to anybody who signed up to follow me...see, we all have a little bit of jr. high in us.
Oh, and I would LOVE a free blog makeover!
I soooo need to win this blog design. I started blogging in July and I'm totally ready to join the big girls and have a fabulous layout. I've been following you all along but just forgot to be an actual "follower". Maybe that will be my goal today-to really follow the blogs I follow. Thanks!
-Jill
I DEFINITELY need a new blog design! :)
what an amazing way to start the new year! awesome give away, thanks!
What a great contest (& prize!) - count me in! :)
I am always changin my blog template! I would love one that is customized for me! Thanks for the give away! BTW...I am the Wii Hula Hoop champion in my house too!
Happy New Year and Artful Blessings,
Kathryn
P.S. Stop by my blog to help me celebrate my Blogiversary!
I am already a follower and have your button on my sidebar! Does that count for 2??? :)
Thanks again for the giveaway!
Kathryn
I clicked the link off Life as Lou and discovered your wonderful blog! Just in time for your drawing too!
Ohhh I'm in desperate need of a fresh blog design!!
and I'm already a follower!!
Hi, Kim...I love your blogs! You're on my reader but I'm headed off to sign up as a follower. Designing new blog themes is a full time job...or maybe I'm just slow?
Annabelle
I am so grateful for blogs. It is such a blessing to be able to see into the lives of other women who are trying to make their worlds a better place, and by doing so are helping others. Thank you!
Since I'm due for a change, count me in!!
WIth all the new resolutions going on, your classes must be full, huh?
Linda

This blog definitely makes me feel like an underachiever. I think you also need to start a blog about laundry that doesn't get done and who has the most piles. I bet I would win :-D
I recently found your blog and LOVE it! I am in Portland and my sister lives in Camas. I'll sign up now to be a follower. Thanks for the giveaway, I need it.
Ok I'm a follower and I'm commenting, and keeping my fingers, eyes and legs crossed!!!

oh how i'd LOVE a new blog design almost as much as I LOVE checking this blog!! pick me!
I am brand new (like, yesterday was my first post, brand new) to blogging, and I would SOO love to win a blog design. And I'm honored to "follow" you.
A shameless plug never hurt anyone, and in this case it is a good one. My blog is new, so a new design is much needed. Thank for offering a great blog and contest.
Following this blog -- when I already spend more time than I should cruising crafty blogs -- is maybe not my wisest decisions. But just judging by the latest few entries that I've had time to read through after discovering this site today, HOW CAN I RESIST?!? : )
Thanks for collecting all these great sites into one place!
Already a reader, now a follower. I love all the amazing blog design possibilities out there! Your blog is wonderful! Thanks!
I want it. I want it.
Love your blog! Awesome giveaway too...:o)
Pick ME! Pick ME! I have been wanting to update my blog but I'm too cheap to pay for it. So, you should pick ME!! Love your blog by the way.
I am now signed up as a follower, and really need some new blog design. Jackie
I'm following you and hoping to win this amazing prize!!!
I am a devoted follower - through Reader that is. Love, love, love your blog!! And a new blog design would be DREAMY!
I've always been a follower which is why i have a link to your blog on my blog. I wish my blog looked as cool as yours though....maybe I'll get lucky.
I've been following your blog for some time now. I *heart* your blog!!!
i'll follow you kim!
only because you are so cooll for showing me the best blogs!
love what you do!
You are one of many blogs I stalk (now follow). Thanks!
Hello.
I have had you on my favorites for a while. I will add you as a follower too! I love your blog! I could use a blog makeover too! Thanks so much!
Wow - what a great blog! I'm a follower . . yea yea yea (sang to I'm a believer - get it?) Oh Well! :0 Thanks!

Time to be an "official" follower. I have been unofficially following for so long. I recently heard the term 'blurker' for someone who checks out blogs anonymously. I don't want to be a blurker!
I have been a "follower" of you for a few months now and love it!
And I need a blog makeover - I'd made one for one of my blogs, but haven't had time to do my personal one.
And I would very humbled if you would follow me! Thank you!
Would love the blog design for sure-and I have been a follower forever-so heck ya I'll follow you! My blog is
chad-tiff.blogspot.com, I'm excited for a new follower and I'm excited for you to see the cupcake invites I just made for my daughters birthday. I know I know-humility, but I'm just sayin....
Please throw my name in the hat ~ I am already a follower. :o)
I just found your blog and LOVE it!!! Blessings, Sherri
