Hi! I would love to win a banner and my fave design is the last one in the portfolio!

The reason I NEED a new banner is because mine it obnoxiously boring...blah. My blog name is Not Just Any Jen, but my blog looks like just any old blog. I would love some help!

[whitney]

Ooh, I really need help with my blog header and these are beautiful. Pick me, Pick me!

[Robin]

I am in dire need of a more polished looking header, count me in please!

[Gretch-a-sketch]

I really like the always been different header. I quite need a new header because my blog format is very basic. I've already got a few ideas in mind, but haven't been able to find a really good layout I like yet, so this would be perfect!

[Smellyann]

They're all my favorite. I love their work. I could really use a new header. Mine just stinks, and I want something fun and lively.

[Kim]

I really like the Lions Clause banner. It wouldn't fit my blog, but I still really like it. I would love a custom header since I'm still using a Wordpress design. I could probably figure out how to do my own, but finding the time to do it is low, low, low on my totem pole at present. Having someone else do one for me would be about the only way it would happen...unless of course, I suddenly inherit enough money to become a woman of leisure. Okay, now that I've stopped laughing, I seriously would love something that does a better job of showing my personality. Thanks for the opportunity!

[Heather]

I like the last one in the portfolio. I need a new header because I had a dream in which someone told me my blog looked boring!

[Karen]

I like the "Always Been Different" one the best. I could use a new look/color scheme on my blog.

[bb]

Oooo! They're all so pretty! I love the last design in the portfolio the most. The one for Fall 07. I totally need a new blog banner cos mine sucks!! :(

[Marcia]

I like the Simply A Musing Blog water one. I really love the Blog cards! What a great idea!

I love the first a Musing blog.. the water scene is beautiful!

I wouldn't mind a new design. I don't feel like my current one expresses my situation anymore. Don't feel like it is "me"!

[Julie]

I like Anew and Afresh, and also the A Musing Life one with the little blue bird. One is much more ornate, and the other is so clean and crisp. LOVE it!
I'd like a custom design, I've never had one, and I have a generic template that doesn't express what I would like it to.

[Nancy]

I like the last design in her portfolio. I like the swirly's and home-made-ness of it. I need a new banner because right now I have a standard blogger one and it's just so generic. I don't think I'm a generic person at all so it really doesn't fit me.

[Amylou]

Hmm it's a toss up between "a new & a fresh" or the simply musing with the bird.
Nice work!

[Ashley BB]

I love "Home but not alone." I would love a new banner so that I don't have to keep changing mine all the time!

Very cute work!

[Sarah N]

I love her personal blog design - I love the background and the colors.

I really need a new header for my quilting blog. I was trying to mess around with the whole layout last week - but I am totally clueless about HTML!

thanks for a great giveaway!

[Louise Brouillette]

New and fresh

[Kari]

Her work is really great. A new and a fresh is great and I also like the all rolled into one!

[Jeanine]

I love the Always Been Different header. I am not tech savvy at all and am stuck with the boring pre made blogger layout. I get a tad jealous when I see all these beautiful layouts and wish that I had oneas well. I just don't have the money to pay for someone to do that for me, but if I could WIN one, WOO HOO!

[Annabelle]

I really like the reflection on the water that says Simply Amusing Blog. Right now, I'm using a "Pimp-My-Profile" for my design. I like it, but it would be great to have my own design. I guess "Christian Momma" isn't really a unique blog name, but I could still use a unique design. Oh and your description on Branding got me thinking...I need to come up with something!

[Shane]

I like the last one in the portfolio as well. The "2007" version. The colors are grand. My poor blog needs a little ummmph! It' so dull and boring.

[grace]

I would love to win this because I need a blog makeover. I have my own domain name so a good blog look will finish the deal. :-)

[chaotic joy]

I like "All rolled into One" and "Anew and Afresh". I have been thinking for a while now that my blog design doesn't represent the feel of my blog. I would LOVE a redesign. She is very talented.

[witchypoo]

I can't decide between "All rolled into One" and "Always Been Different". I really wish I could do graphics.
I like to change out my header every month, but my design ability is zero, so I need help.
