Do you need a blog makeover? This is the giveaway for you!

Penny Lane Designs is my co-host for the Celebration Finale Giveaway!!! Do you remember this fabulous blog design from my previous site?

penny-lane-giveaway

PLD designed this for me not too long ago and I don’t want it to go to waste… SO, we are going to give it to one of you (my lucky and loyal readers)!!! PLD will change the name for you, of course ;-)

TO ENTER:

1. Visit Penny Lane Designs Blog and browse some penny lane designs… {you’ll find them in her right side-bar}

2. Report back to me and leave a comment with one of the designs you found on PLD’s blog AND tells us why you should win this giveaway.

All giveaway winners will be announced on Monday!!

I will pick a winner for the other items that I didn’t post - a scarf from Intuition in LA and a copy of Eat Pray Love – from the readers that commented on the previous giveaway posts.

Thank you for all that participated in the Celebration… I hope you had as much fun as I did!!

Penny Lane Designs did my blog! It was about a year ago when she was first getting started!!! AMAZING! Seeing as how it has been a year…I need an update! I LOVE her designs! I like the “glimpse of the girl next door” look (the title was something like that, it has girl next door for sure). She does amazing work!

Oh she is so talented! I really like “The Brooke Family” design. I think I should win because I am in desperate need of an update and I am beyond technologically challenged! I’ve been looking for a blog designer to help me and this would be fantastic to win. Plus I loved the design of your old blog header. I was so jealous. Your new one is equally fabulous but I liked the old one too.

I couldn’t just pick one design I love the “Brooks Family” design and I adored the “Ever Mine, Ever Thine, Ever Ours” design and title. I’m terrible at stating why I should win or earn something over other people… but here goes:

I should win this design because I am a brand new blogger, still trying to come up with my theme, but every time I log in to my blog I’m encouraged to see that I have yet another follower. My little blog will grow to great heights and I know that the addition of a Penny Lane design would help me create the blog I’ve always dreamed of. None of my “real life” friends or family know about my blog yet, partially because I’m afraid they’d be disappointed and partially because I feel like it’s too much of a work in progress… but to have a design done just for me? Well I’d have to shout it from the mountain tops and let everyone know!

This week of giveaways has been wonderful each one better than the next! Congratulations on the new site Nina, and thank you for your generosity!

Oh to pick just one!! Well I have a few faves: Marty and Amanda, Brooks Family, The Miskells, and Life with the Weathers. She does some amazing work!

What a fun ending to your giveaways! You are so sweet to do all of this!! Can’t wait to find out the winners :)

Oh and I should win this because my blog needs some major revamping! I started a few months ago thinking if I got “in to” blogging then I would get a better blog design. Well I am definitely loving the blog world and would love to have a prettier place for people to come to!

I really like the one on the perfectly imperfect design! I am getting married in 36 days so my “wife in training” will soon no longer apply. I would love to get a new design for the blog on my new life.

What a way to go out with a bang Nina!!!

I love The O’donnell’s Opus deisgn it’s gorgeous! I’m sure someone out there deserves a blog makeover more than me but I’d just love to have my own unique blog design created just for moi! That way I can stop changing mine all the time! hehe!

It was so hard to pick just one blog design! I do like the colors and all around style of “Life with the Lipmans”. I am always using the free blog backgrounds site and always changing, because I just can’t seem to find a design that is “me”. I love blogging and think having a design all my own would be perfect!

Wow these giveaways this week have been amazing! I really like the O’Donnell’s Opus design. It’s simple, colorful, and perfect! :)

I would really like a design makeover because I just started seriously blogging and I love it! I am getting tons more traffic to my site now and I would like to have a “pretty face” for everyone to see. I have tried to design my own backgrounds and it really is hard when you don’t know exactly what you are doing! Haha :) I use free templates and backgrounds that I change almost every month because I can’t find anything that represents me. My hubby told me that once I had a certain number of followers I could get a makeover but I don’t want to wait that long. I feel like if I had something nice now, then I could gain more readers. I need some serious re-vamping! :)

Even if I don’t win, thank you Nina and Penny Lane Designs for this opportunity!

I can’t even tell you how much I would love to win this giveaway – I’ve been dying for a new header. I loved Blue-Eyed Bride’s when she first debuted it and I also loved your old one from Nina Knows Best (and no, I promise I’m not just saying this.) Penny Lane Designs is so talented. Now that my blog has “grown” I’d love to give my readers a new fun header/prettier page to look at but I am so far from being tech savy! I am in dire need of a blog makeover but haven’t had the funds to spend on this lately. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this giveaway.

(PS – thank you so much for the sweet comment you left on my blog yesterday. it really meant a lot and YES we have to meet when you come to NYC next!)

I like The Wisely and Marty and Amanda designs. Sorry, I picked two. Very cute! I need a new blog header because mine is just so darn “blah-gy”! And who wants that? Happy Friday!

Uhhhh Nina- I gave you the wrong blog address above. What was I thinking? ;) The link is to someone other than myself. And I don’t think they want a ummmm… new header. (read theirs)!

It did it again…Gosh! Sorry. Maybe I need blogger lesson too?

Oh, Nina! I would love this for my blog! If I don’t win, i’m going to have PLD help me b/c I can’t quite get my blog straight! HAHA, if you see, my picture on my banner is not centered and it’s kinda a mess. (it’s a premade layout that you cut and paste onto your blog…and somehow I manage to mess it up! HAHA!)

I loved Blue-Eyed Bride’s page, but I think my favorite one is one she did for a fellow Razorback fan! The person’s page is private, but she has a screenshot of the banner! (which had a Razorback in Christmas lights in the background. LOL, my kind of gal!)

Thanks for all the fabulous giveaways!!! :) ♥

I really like the “relativly speaking” one.

I need a make over…because….I’m tired of lookin’ like the knock off dooney—you know that!!

There were so many that I really enjoyed looking at. Of course “Nina Knows Best” was one of my favorites from the moment it was revealed, I also really like Penny Lane Designs, Glimpse of the Girl Next Door, Totally Outrageous, and Black Tie White Dress.

I would so love to win a blog makeover. It is BORING! and doesn’t represent me other than the picture of “my lighthouse” and my 3 favorite colors of pink, green, and navy. I would like something that catches your eye and makes you want to come back more and more that also more truly represents me.

Thanks Nina for such wonderful giveaways!!

They are all super cute! I really liked the simple and snazzy blog design. I really need to redo my site. I am just to cheap and work way to much. It would be a much needed treat.

To be honest, I really like yours best! Please enter me! I would like to have a blog design unique unto me!

21 Lauren February 7, 2009 at 6:25 am

I LOVE all of her designs. I have been thinking for awhile now about contacting her to to make a new look for my blog and have been yet to do it. I’ve been following her blog for some time now and love looking through all of her designs. A few of my recents faves are Jacquelyn Reese Baby, Blue Eyed Bride and yours! I love the fresh, modern look and she is always able to capture that in her designs.

I’ve been blogging for a few months now and I’m ready to step it up with a new look. Pick me!!

I love Joy’s Hope. I need to win the makeover because I have a blog but no idea what to do with it and it’s so ugly I hate using it. I want something I find attractive so I’m inspired to develop and use it more. Thanks for the chance!

23 Jackie February 7, 2009 at 4:16 pm

I love Peanut Butter and Pop Tarts. Simple and classic!

I should win because I just reworked by blog into a three column format and now the header (I made myself) doesn’t fit anymore. A new header would be perfect right now!

24 Meredith Greer Tichenor February 7, 2009 at 4:45 pm

I have to say that I was totally had “love at first sight” when I logged on to your blog the first time! I wished your header could be mine… but I wanted to befriend you so I couldn’t copy! Marina did my original family blog header… I would love to have this one for my Misc Mer blog!! I would be so proud to carry on the Nina Knows Best Blog Header!
