Blog Revamps!

A new year (or season!) for me usually means blog revamps. It's like a makeover, only you do it once and it stays done for months. This blog is pretty new so I most likely won't mess with it yet, but I updated my personal blog and got the juices flowing...

SO, if you're looking for a blog makeover, here are some great places to start!

Cute *FREE* backgrounds:

Cutest Blog on the Block not everything here is free, but there are some great options and tips. They'll even teach you step by step how to make your blog into three columns, and then provide backgrounds that fit!

Scrap-e-blog: This girl is amazing and will even custom make a header for you, for free!

My family site just got an update using a background from That Blog Place. They're running a grand opening giveaway for a custom header right now as well.

This site's background is brought to you by Leelou blogs. They also sell pre-made layouts which include a header (just add pictures!) for $10.

What about extras?

Want cute buttons? Leelou blogs has great ones like this:



Or try That Blog Place:

Still haven't found what you're looking for, or have another favorite site to recommend? Let me know in the comments below. If you ask *REALLY* nicely, I might even make a cute header for your blog!

P.S. Get your own custom signature (the fast and free way!) here

Scrapbook Giveaways!

So my giveaway luck continues--in addition to the oodles of coupons I've won and made good use of, the baby shoes, the $50 walmart giftcard, the $10 Cafe Rio card i used last week, and the personalized placemat I got just in time for Christmas, I won a pair of designer jeans over the break! They didn't have the right sizing for me, so I passed my luck on to my mom and can't wait for the fashion show :o)

For all of you who have yet to win anything, don't worry! You still can! Check out some great links in the sidebar for where to start looking. Also, for those of you NON-moms looking for something else, check out these scrapbook candy giveaways:
