I would love this! I’ve just not been happy with my photoblog lately. And I’ve been putting off posting until I redo my blog! No good! This would/could be the kick in the bum I need!
Oh how I would love to win! I’ve wanted something new and fresh, but can never figure out what I want. Perhaps now would be a good time to start figuring it out in case I win! :)
I have always wanted to start a blog but have no idea how to go about it or what to put on it. I would love to have any ideas and tips to help get me started. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this great prize! I have wanted to start a blog for over two years now… since my son was born. This would give me a great jump start! Good luck to everyone!!!
I would love to have a new design — mainly just because I’m starting to get tired of pink (I can’t believe I said that either!).
This is awesome. Even though, I am a “professional” photographer, I have NO idea what clipping masks are, so ANY photoshop tutorial is greatly appreciated. I guess I should get around to that photoshop class…
Oh.my. I’ve been waiting for this! I dreamed YOU made over my blog for me with all your pretty scrapbooking skilz, fabulous fonts, and beautiful photos. This would be the next best thing!
I would LOVE a makeover!!
I NEED A BLOG MAKEOVER! PLEASE HELP!
That photo week sounds great! I don’t know anything about photoshop.
Oh how I would love to win a blog makeover!
I would love to learn more about photoshop, as well as work on a more individual looking blog page. Thanks!
I’d love to see some photoshop tutorials and I love any tips on taking photos.
Oh!!!! How exciting!! Amanda, I am severely in need of this. I am a photographer and I am working just this very week on a brand new website. I have always had a blog but have neglected it severely for the past few months, because I just haven’t been happy about the presentation and what it shows my customers. With a brand new logo I just had designed, a new website, and *crossing my fingers here* a new blog layout I could just rock my business!!!! Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
I would love to win this. I would really like a blog header that incorporates all my favorites: baking, sewing, and my baby girl.

I would love to win this.
Photoshop tutorial week is such a great idea!
This is amazing! Thank you for the chance to do this… I have always wanted to have my own blog page (outside of LJ Ij and the like) but never had enough time to learn coding. This would be fantastic for me!
Will share on FB and Twitter!
Thanks again!
I love my blog, but would like a unique design for it. And I’m ready to change it up to look at something different. I love the “Bloom and Grow” pre-made design. I’m not sure what I’d do for a custom make-over, but it would be fun deciding! Thanks for the chance!
I tweeted it, or well retweeted it!
Thanks Heather for sending me here!

Yes! If there is anyone who NEEDS to win this it is me! I can’t even tell you what I would want on my blog as far a layers, scrapbook stuff, photo editing, etc. I WANT TO LEARN but just don’t have the time to hunt, peck and try (not with 3 little ones climbing on me).
I really want to start a homeschool log in the near future. I have been brainstorming but my dreams are much bigger than my blogging creation skills!
Oh! Please pick me! Please please please!
This would be really great. My sad, boring blog definitely needs a shot in the arm. Thanks!!
i tweeted about the giveaway!

a custom header would be super cool! :)
all of their designs are awesome! i love their styling :) this is a great giveaway
This is so cool! Totally count me in! My favorite design is definitely ‘Cali Girl’!
Whoot Whoot! I’d love a new make over. I’ve been trying to make mine pretty. As you can tell I am not too great at it!
What is one really unique “additive” I’d love on my blog … a fantabulous signature for after each entry!
I have a Boston Terrier one of the best dogs I’ve ever had I’d love another one…I am very new to blogging and would love to learn more and begin a new chapter in my life…PICK ME!
I also Facebooked about it! Such a sweet chance to get some blog stuff!
Would LOVE to win this!!!
The photo shop tutorial is a great idea and I don’t think it’s too basic at all, though I am kind of in a basic spot right now, so may be biased. :)
What an awesome giveaway! I would love a new look to my blog!
What an awesome giveaway! I would love a new look for my blog!
Oh! This would be wonderful!! I have always wanted something custom, but I am just not able to figure it out on my own! :o) I am drooling over the MyBoys premade template!
This is an awesome giveaway and I totally need a blog makeover. I’ve got reading challenges going on which I’d love to have links too and blogs to list. A super nice header would be good too!
I love all the creative blog pages with cute buttons, but I am totally confused on how to put them onto my blog. I LOVE LOVE green and haven’t been able to find the perfect design…Thanks :)
Oh this would be awesome. I am new to blogging and would love to learn all the little secrets I see on others blogs.
OHHHH Mama do I need this! I am computer illiterate but I love to blog!!!
I have posted on my blog at http://www.thedapperdarling.blogspot.com about this giveaway!!
Just look at it, doesn’t it just need some LOVE!!! A classy update!
I like Polka dots and your colors are just fab! I like Paige and Brook colors Pink and Dark Green…and love Boston Terriers!!! I’m very much into interior decorating and love to be one that loves something different fresh and new ideas.
Facebook’d this!
I would love to have a new makeover for our family blog. Mine is quite boring because I don’t know much about the coding. Crossing my fingers I win! :)
Would so love to start my own blog…just haven’t had the know-how! This would be a great fit!! Thanks for all your great ideas and inspiration.
Twittered This!
This is Great!! Would Love to win this set! :)
Would love to win one of these! My current blog just feels kind of blah and we have had that same theme for awhile so it would be great to win a new one!
Thanks Amanda!
Blogged!
Oh how I would loe to win! I’ve wanted to start a blog and have even gone as far to create it, but I have such blog envy that I haven’t done anything with it! I would love to have this as a push to get started in the blogosphere!
I’d love to win this- it would motivate me to do something on my blog! Thanks for the chance!
I would love, love, love this! I adore the Hearts Desire premade layout!
This is great, I don’t have a blog because I don’t know much about how to design and go about it. So this would get me started in a fabulous way. Love all the designs would be happy with any. You do such a great job with your site-love it!
Oh please, please, please start posting photography and photoshop tutorials (especially photoshop). I am just starting to play around with my camera, but I’d love to actually know what I was doing and how to edit the photo when I’m done.
Winning this giveaway would be so awesome. But I don’t want it for me. I would give it to my friend.
She has been experiencing many difficulties in her life (the worst is the severe health issue her husband has and with the most recent complication his death might be imminent). She is passionate about preparedness in the home, self reliance, food storage, etc. And she is a pro at it since she has had to live these principles for so many years of her married life.
She has a site where she shares this info. It’s chock-full of great and amazing information. But the design is woefully lacking. I would love win this giveaway so that I may give it to her. It would so brighten her otherwise bleak days of struggle and worry.
What an awesome giveaway!!
No Photoshop tutorial would be too basic for me. :)
I don’t twitter but your on facebook now!
I would LOOOOOVVVVEEEE to win a blog makeover!!! I get inspired by your blog and I would love a new look!!!!
Oh do I ever need a blog make over. I am trying to branch off into other topics, but have not idea how to creat the links from all my blogs. Would love to have tabs across the header.
OMG – what an awesome giveaway!
PLEASE do a Photoshop week! I use CS4 everyday but feel like I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time. PW’s actions are a life-saver for us Photoshop newbies. :)
I would love love LOVE to win!! How fun would a blog makeover be?!! :) :) Thanks Amanda!
Photoshop basics would be nice, I have dabbled in photoshop for awhile but never have the time to really learn. Every time I go back to it it is like learning all over again. So basics is my choice.
I would love love love this! I have been wanting to make a blog FOREVER! I just really need help! This would be super great to win! Thanks so much!!
I’m a blogger of four and really could use a make-over for my Strawberry Roan blog. It needs to be something special….PLEASE! I would love to see some photo editing tutorials – fixing older photos, repairing colors and shadows, creating ‘painted’ photos…anything…
Have Facebooked this as well…Strawberry Roan needs your help and ides, even if I don’t win I still need your help! :-)
Bright blessings,
Shanyn, aka Mystic-Mom

I’d love a new professional look for my blog….plus some great ideas for photoshop…right now I use Corel PaintShop Pro…One day I’d love to have photoshop…but for now most tips for photoshop will work in corel too!
I would love to win this so much – I have needed to work on a nice design for my blog since I restarted blogging a couple of months ago, but I have to “re-learn” everything from when I blogged for my hubby’s deployment to Iraq (http://bigalsarmylife.blogspot.com).

Oh my goodness I am so excited about this!! I have wanted a blog makeover for SO LONG! I have been trying to add different fonts to the blog I have now, but I just can’t figure it out.

I would love to win a blog makeover!! I love the idea of the photoshop tutorials, I have no clue how to do anything in photoshop and would love to learn.
I would love to win, I do design my own blogs myself, but my recipe blog could really use a makeover. I would like a great design to showcase all of our favorite family recipes that we make. I keep this blog, trying to get it filled when I have the time, so I can easily access my recipes when at my parents house, friends, etc. With 3.5yr old twins and a 1.5 yr old time is limited between them, full-time job, designing myself, making hairbows, etc. (Can you tell I keep busy?)
I would love the custom to reflect the recipes and clean lines. But I would also be happy with the pre-made ones. If I was chosen for that I would probably choose: Home Sweet Home or Stitched Circles. One less blog to design right now would be a huge help!!
Thanks for the entry and opportunity Amanda!!
I would love a blog button, header and background!
I enjoy my blog. I’ve often toyed with the idea of having a separate page for scrapping & recipes, but yet the scrapping is a part of what I blog. So, for me …. I’d like some help just fixing it up and making it ‘clean’. My header is fun & depicts the Big Red Barn — some buttons for new pages and sections of my blog would be great.
