First I want to say (once again) thank you so much for all of the well wishes and congratulations regarding my new job and this exciting time in my life. I'm becoming more and more excited each day and it's so encouraging to hear all the positive things each of you have had to say.
As you can see, I've got a lot of big changes going on around here. New job, new wardrobe, new body, a general new outlook on life.
So I'm thinking it may be time for a new blog design. I've loved my current blog design for the past year. I got it as a present to myself for my 25th birthday. I learned so many challenging and difficult lessons during my 25th year. I would definitely say it was the most difficult year of my life to date.
I'm looking forward to seeing what 26 has to bring. I feel like I'm getting better with age. Learning how to appreciate my friends, family and husband. Learning how to dress for my body, apply makeup and style my hair. (I'm serious...I've never been fashionable or trendy. I've made leaps and bounds in my personal style and appearance this year!) My faith has grown immensely during this past year. Most importantly, I'm learning to be comfortable in my own skin. I'm proud of the woman I'm becoming. I'm proud of my accomplishments. I'm even strangely proud of my failures because without them I wouldn't truly be able to appreciate my triumphs.
With all this personal transformation going on, I just feel like it's time for a blog design that accurately depicts the new me. The move away from a young twenty something struggling with her identity into a mid twenty something gaining confidence with every passing year.
So that's where you all come in. I need suggestions for great blog designers. I'm a complete believer of referral business and I will feel so much better about working with a designer if I know someone who has used her (or if that designer is one of my readers!) I don't have a ton of money, so please let me know if you are or know of an affordable blog designer that can help me create a blog design for this upcoming year.
Thanks again for all the support. :) :)

Krystyn at KrizzyDesigns! I loved working with her for both my redesign and the tweaks she has made this past year. She is SO fast and so sweet!
Jenn over at http://www.munchkinland-designs.com/
I love what she came up with and was so easy to work with!
How fun! I can't wait to see what you decide on. I loved the girl that did my design. www.utterlychaoticdesigns.com
i wish i knew one (or had the funds right now to hire someone!) im excited! i love ur current design, but i understand what you mean when you say you're ready for something new that might represent who you are at 26 in 2011 rather than last year :-) i think the biggest sign of growing up and getting wiser is becoming more comfortable in your own skin :-)
if i see any web designers, ill throw them your way... but as you can tell by my blog (which i did on my own, that is why it SUCKS), i dont really know of anyone LOL!
Hey Amber! I am so happy for all of the awesome new things going on in your life! I do blog designs, actually (although I'm not a business). I've done my own and a few friends. I can show you the designs. I am more of a simple/modern/minimalist designer instead of a scrapbook one. If that's what you like, I'd be happy to help you out and do it for free to build my portfolio! oismeblog@gmail.com
Will you let me know who you find? I'd like to vamp up mine too :)
no suggestions since I'm a free Blogger template girl, but I love that you're so excited about the future! :) I'm really loving this season of life!
Can't wait to see what new design you get! I'm sure whatever it is, it will be beautiful!
Lovelylittledetails.com and howjoyful.com do great work!!!

I am so excited for everything that is going on in your life!! I'm only 23, but I still see so many changes in myself from the college me. It's exciting stuff huh?

I love PennyLaneDesigns.net! Simple but beautiful designs!
I can't wait to see what you do! I use Jen over at munchkinland-designs.com. She's super-fast and super-sweet!
I'm a free template user myself but I wanted to say congrats on the new job, I'm really excited for you!
I'm not "officially" open for business but since I love you (and your blog), I would be willing to chat about what you want to do with your blog!?
I don't have a reccomendation for you, but I do love your blog. I found you through Lisa at Must be doing something right. Congrats on your new job.
