I am so excited about my Blue Monday offering this week! Have you already guessed what it is? That's right, my new BLUE website! I have been very jealous of those of you with your professional blog designs (Nikki & Suzanne), and have been looking around for a while at different designers and digital kits. The most difficult decision was choosing the colors, patterns, and fonts; there's so much from which to choose. Than
k goodness I had a fabulous, organized, experienced designer guiding me through the process. Susan has done many blog designs for Blogger and is getting her feet wet with Word Press. She did my page over the weekend, with about 15 emails back and forth between us All with 3 kids running around her house, too! I am a total control freak, and Susan gave me everything I wanted. She was always so helpful and accommodating, even when I kept asking for a certain shade of cream and wanted it changed about 3 times. She even made me a signature graphic from my own signature! How cool is that?!Here's one of the best things...I spent a lot of time researching this, as I do everything, you know. I looked at more than 10 designers' sites and narrowed it down to those that could do 3-column designs and navigation bars, because those were things I couldn't do myself. Of the ones I found, Susan was HALF the price of the others. Whoo! Hoo! She also did not have a mile-long waiting list so she got to me right away, and like I said, gave me all her attention. Now that I've been bragging on her she'll hopefully get a lot more requests, but she'll be worth it if you have to wait a week or so, I promise.
Here's some more blue blogs that Susan has designed.



If you're thinking about a bog re-design, or just want a new header or button, I hope you'll consider Susan. Now hop on over to Smiling Sally and visit the other Blue Monday gals!

I love your wonderful new look. It's really pretty. I so need a redesign, but haven't a clue what I really want. Happy Blue Monday Elizabeth..and I hope your week is a wonderful one..
Ooo, that's very cool! I love having my blogs in Google Reader because it's easier to keep up reading, but I do miss seeing some of the cool designs people have.

I love it! Kuddos to Susan!
Ugh....I have heard "Mom what can we do now?" many times today! The sad part? We went to Disney on Ice this morning. They were bored the minute they walked in the door!
Your new blog design looks great Elizabeth. Perfect Blue Monday post!
I for one am thrilled that it is vacation week. I hope the week goes by slowly...then I'll be looking forward to April vacation LOL!
I like you new blog. There's lots to take a look at.

Good morning Elizabeth. I just love your new blog design. so pretty.... I hope you have a wonderful day :>)
I like your new do! The rickrack is making me thing seventies....
I emailed you about the slides. I'm far from an expert.....
Have a great week!
I'd say she does nice work. And it sounds like she's responsive and reasonable. What more can you ask?
Hi, Elizabeth!
I'm so glad you stopped by my blog. I actually came here yesterday but for some reason blogger wouldn't let me leave a comment.
Looks like you have a tremendous lot of good stuff going on here. I hope to be back!
Everything looks lovely!
Ah ha! So Susan is the genius behind this blog design. It really does look great. I don't know if it's just my monitor though, but if I want to see the entire right sidebar I have to scroll a bit. I'm sure it's my old computer though, and not the design.
Just curious how much she charged you for all of this?
Justine :o )
