After lots of tweaking, some whining, and maybe one or two tantrums, my new blog design is now revealed!
Being as that I’m one of those gals who thinks she can do anything (a big hardy har har at me), I jumped into the design head first and just decided to do it myself. There will undoubtedly be some more tweaks and I need to redesign my Teach Me Tuesday logo so it matches, but I could keep changing things forever. At some point, you just have to be finished, you know?
Ultimately, I’m very happy with the completed design. It’s not too fancy or too vibrant, but I think it’s very me.

Love the "easy on the eyes" blog design.So many designs to choose from at back40life. I think I have narrowed it down to a monogram or Psalm 37 or welcome.
I love the cattails and butterflies and the welcome sign for my front door! Holly

I like the block monogram. I'm thinking that would look perfect in my 7 month old's room.
I think I like the multi circles the best.

Hi Lindsay! Your new blog design is wonderful! It's so light and bright with just the right amount of whimsy. I love the little glue gun that appears beside "Lindsay" as your signature. I'm really impressed that you did it yourself!
I'd be honored for you to stop by Imparting Grace sometime. I'm really enjoying my new blog design–but I had to get Darcy to do it for me. No way in the world I could have done it myself. So I mean it when I say that I'm impressed that you did this. Great job!
Take care!
Hard choice! I think my top pick would be the Fruit of the Spirit quote, it would be perfect for my kitchen.
A lot of nice designs… I love the Cattail and Butterfly Wall Decal, so nice! And also the simple "welcome" Decal for my front door!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Hi, I would love the front door entry number. This would also have the added benefit of getting me to paint my front door which is on my loonnggg list of things to do this summer! Thanks so much for your wonderful blog and this giveaway!!
Kind Regards,
Sharon slw_kerr@yahoo.com
I like the Fancy Scrollwork Monogram, very nice,

Oh, vinyl. I love it. I especially love the Family Menu Chalkboard vinyl. Yum.
P.S. Your "how to paint laminate" post from May inspired me to tackle my dining room table. I gave you and your fantastic site credit, and I posted the results on my new blog: ahomeinprogress.blogspot.com You're the BEST!
I love anything momograms, so I'd pick one of those… maybe fore above the bed!

I love the Frame It! So cute!

Your redesign looks GREAT! Props to you for doing it yourself.
I love the welcome sign!!
Following on Twitter!
I LOVEEEEEEEEE THIS NEW LOOK!!
We are still working on my room and my sons room, (just had him 5 days ago!) So I would either go with the Animal Alphabet Monogram or the block monogram for him, or the XL Vinyl Monogram for me
Love your blog! And I really love the family name with the "as for me and my house" verse. I would love to put that above my front door!
Love your new blog design! Tough choice…I think I'd have to go with the fancy scrollwork monogram or the family menu chalkboard. Beautiful designs!

I love the new design.
I also love those wall decals. I have been eying them in various places thinking I might like to try them out, but not too sure, you know. Anyhow my favorite design would have to be the "Fruit of the Spirit". It would fit perfectly in my kitchen above the table.
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
Everything is g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s!
I think that I would go with the large chalkboard (AND some of the wall decals).
Thanks!

I LOVE your blog and have long been getting glue gun burns. So glad I'm not the only one!
I love the scroll work monogram or Ps. 37 decal. I can't decide!
I love the refrigerator chalkboard or the frame it one. Both great.
The scrolly monograms are great!
Great giveaway! I went to the etsy shop and love the LARGE Swirly Monogram Vinyl Wall Decal! My fiance and I are closing on our first place this summer and it would be nice to have my soon to be married last name inital above our bed! I love monograms!
