Something NEW is HERE! (and I'm GIVING IT AWAY!)

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED***


I told you a few days ago that something new was coming to this blog.

Well, the surprise is finally complete, and here it is....

I started my own blog design business!


I'm so excited to get started!

When I started this blog almost a year ago, I had so much fun designing it that I wanted to do more! So I emailed my FIRL (friend in real life), Kate of Salvage Dior, and showed her a concept I had for her blog. She agreed to let me give her blog a makeover. I've done three makeovers for her, the latest just a week ago. Each time she was so excited, and I loved the simple joy a makeover could give!

One of my bloggy BFFs, Noelle of Because Nice Matters, had mentioned how she had paid a designer to design her blog and the designer had never followed through. I offered to help her out, and you can view her recently completed design here.

The wheels started turning and I thought how fun it would be to be able to work with different people designing blogs. And my new blog design business was born!

If you're interested in a new look for your blog, jump on over to Simply Klassic.

AND just for my lovely followers...a special treat!

Would you like a makeover for your blog?

Would you like a blog makeover for FREE?

I thought you might.

I am giving away a Deluxe Blogger Package to one lucky follower of Betty Crocker Wannabe.

Here's what you have to do (Please leave only ONE comment for all three) :
1. Leave me a comment on this post telling me the design style you like for your blog (scrappy, vintage, modern, etc.) AND
2. Be a follower of Betty Crocker Wannabe (and let me know you are), AND
3. Become a follower of Simply Klassic (and let me know you are).

Since I will use random.org to choose a winner, I will have to delete invalid entries (I know, I'm a big meanie!).

BUT...
For an additional entry, blog about Simply Klassic and the giveaway. Leave a separate comment on this post with a link.

Giveaway ends on Friday, January 21 at 11:59 pm PST.

The winner will be announced on Saturday morning, January 22, and also notified by email. Please make sure that your email is linked to your blogger account.

I will also be giving a discount of 20% to the first five customers who place an order (mention the giveaway).

Thank you all for being such loyal followers and friends of Betty Crocker Wannabe. I hope you will stop by Simply Klassic and let me know what you think!

    Hi,
    Had a look at Salvage Dior's Blog
    it is beautiful!
    I would keep with the Shabby Chic
    and Vintage look for my blog.
    Mine is new and I still have a
    lot of things to implement.
    Hope to look at the Simply Klassic
    site as soon as I have access.
    I tried through Salvage Diors
    blog but still no luck.
    Regards,
    Sue

    Hi!!! I came over from Noelle's blog when I saw you were having a giveaway!
    I recently had my blog remodelled, but I find it too busy, so I would like something "cleaner" but modern.
    I am and have been a follower!

    I'm hopeless at the blog design part of the blogging world. It takes me hours upon hours to get anything done on that end. I'd just about flip a lid if I could get someone to redo my design. I have no idea what design would fit my blog. Maybe scrappy but not really sure I even know what that is.

    I'm a follower of both blogs :)

    Follow and Follow :) What an awesome prize. My Blog's design could definitely use a little sumpthin' sumpthin'. Something maybe to go with the Crazy/Rural life I live. I would be fine leaving it all up to ya! I'm easy to please.

    I don't know what my page style would be - maybe eclectic vintage chic with a bit of scrapbook? Hmm that is a hard one. I am a follower of you and I am also a follower of Simply Klassic Design. I loved seeing what you had done at Because Nice Matters - the colors are so pretty.

    This is awesome. Always fun to root for someone that has a talent and shares it with others so beautifully!

    I would absolutely love a blog makeover...would be so neat to have a more crisp, professional look. Simple, classic, clean, crisp, black and white, pops of color, with a splash of feminine are some words that come to mind when I think of my dream blog look! It's hard to describe a personal style!

    Following you and your Simply Klassic blog! Yay!

    Good luck to you!

It's still---not what I want so yes, please! I could use a magic wand to help fix it! Shabby Chic. Definately. With some beachy thrown in...Blessings, Sharon
