A New Look and a Giveaway!

So what do y’all think of the new design? I decided it was time to change things up a bit and spent awhile playing with Blogger’s new template designer. I found the background photo online and then made the header using GIMP. I wanted something simple, yet pretty –I think this design has both qualities. And the new font makes it look a bit casual. :-)

I’d also like to remind all of you that I’m hosting a giveaway which ends on the 31st of this month. To enter, read about my latest knit & crochet along for Romania. Then tell all your friends about it! Whoever refers the most participants to my blog will win a free handmade apron!

Tomorrow, I’ll be writing my weekly SWAP post…complete with pictures! So  don’t worry some photos are one the way. :-) Hope everyone’s having a blessed day!

Very pretty new blog design, Eden! :D I really like your header. I also enjoy using the GIMP, although I've a lot to learn still.

I LOVE the new look, Eden! It's beautiful! :)

Taylor said...

PS: I just saw the response you left to my last comment. Unfortunately, no, I'm not seeing the handwriting kind of font. Sorry! Hmmm... I wonder why?!?

Unknown said...

Sophie ~ Thanks for letting me know you like it!

Jessica ~ GIMP is kinda hard to learn at first...but I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it. ;-)

Raquel ~ Happy you like it! It took me awhile to settle on a background photo...but I think this one is here to stay. :-)

Taylor ~ I'm sorry you don't see the new font. I'm not even sure why. What kind of computer do you have? Mac/PC? Windows XP/7? My dad has Windows XP and I have Windows 7...maybe that's why.

God bless you.

Melody said...

Wow, this is really cute! And that's pretty amazing that you designed the header yourself. I need to buckle down and learn gimp too... ;)

Blessings,

Rachel ~ Thanks for the compliments! And I'm happy you like the color. I ♥ purple too!

Melody ~ It took a bit of brainstorming to come up with a header design so I'm happy you like it! You should really learn GIMP it's really handy once you know how to use it.

Haley ~ Thanks! I'm happy you like it too. :-D
