a favor

my blog is in desperate need of a makeover.
I want to be like the cool bloggers who have pimped out buttons.
I do not want to pay for some one to do this as the fertility game is not cheap.
all other expenses go towards Starbucks, photography, retail therapy thursday and bills. in that order.
I was never one to save and budget out my paycheck accordingly, I'm not even going to front on that.
so, I'm wondering if there are any blogs/websites that have tips or how to's on creating a fresh blog
face. can you help a girl out and point me in that direction?
I would be ever so grateful.

Before I take off, I want to thank you all for the congrats on my state fair win.
being the sensitive sally I am, I take all your comments to heart.
here are the photos that won just in case you were wondering.

hey girl. :)
i've done a few blog designs myself (although i've never worked with typepad) and would love to work with you to create something. :)

here is a link to some of my other designs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25478926@N02/sets/72157617183359819/

i do my design work in exchange for scrapping supplies or something from the person's etsy or whatever works best.
let me know if you're interested.

I'm not surprised these photos won ribbons -- they're awesome, and so different from one another. Love.

oh i love the books and camera! beautiful. i'm always wanting to beautify my blog but it always seems to take too long or get much too technical. a couple of good places i found recently were http://ohhellofriend.blogspot.com/ http://www.webdesignerwall.com/category/tutorials/ << a bit more high-tech but all explained clearly. good luck!

[Ashleigh]

I can see why they won! Both are beautiful photos but I REALLY love the second one. I don't have any tips for sprucin' up the blog, just wanted to send my congratulations :) By the way, I think we also have our financial priorities in the same order ;)

[Wendy]

beautiful photos tina!
congrats on your win! :-)

Oh, congrats! Just catching up on my google reader. If you are trying to figure something your blog design, just try googling it. I've found lots of helpful articles that way. xo

[Kimber-Leigh]

[nicole]

Congratulations on your wins, they are well deserved! I especially love the picture of the books.

I've been dreaming of a blog redesign too. Oh to find the time to actually do it though.
