Sooooo!?!? What do you think of my new blog banner!? I approached my friend Sam a few weeks ago about making a blog banner for me and doing some other web design stuff. You see she went to school for this type of thing and I am basically a tech tard when it comes to programs like Photoshop. Not to mention, HTML code is completely over my head. I know I share this characteristic with many of you out there! LOL! That’s why I’m so excited I get to announce the opening of Sam’s new store Customize! Check it out here! Sam is providing custom blog banner and blog design services and hopes to expand into logo design and blog/banner templates in the future. She is seriously awesome (and I’m not just sayin’ that ‘cuz she’s my friend!). Not only is she talented but she is also such a sweet person. She takes direction based on your requests and in the end she wants more than anything for you to be satisfied with the service she provides. Let me walk you through the process a little bit. Once you make Sam aware that you’re interested in a custom blog banner, she will

1) email you a questionnaire to get your suggestions on color, design, and style (cutesy, whimsical, elegant)
2) do a sample stylesheet and a rough sketch to make sure you’re both on the same page with layout, colors, and overall theme
3) after each assembly she will discuss with you any changes you’d like to make… she really involves you in every step of the process!

So if you have a blog and you’re a tech tard like me, contact Sam! You won’t be disappointed. And guess what!? She’s offering a special to reader’s of my blog! She will create a custom banner PLUS a holiday banner for $55! That’s two banners for just $55 and perfect for the upcoming holiday season to showcase a different look on your blog. Just tell her that you were referred from Taylor’s blog and you’ll get the discount. I’d be happy to answer any questions, or better yet, email Sam… she can probably answer better than me, huh!? LOL!

Hope you guys all have a great weekend! I’ll be back on Monday unless I find some time later tomorrow to post some craft show stuff. My mom is on her way over and we’re working on pricing and display for the upcoming show… only 8 days away! *squeals* 🙂
