Giveaway: Blog Header Design from Gallery No Eight



**Edited March 2, Giveaway is now CLOSED****


You all may have noticed that I am sporting a whole new look! 

I had a blog re-design done by the fabulous Brittany from Gallery No. Eight. A talented designer, currently studying media design at the prestigious Ryerson University, one of the tops in the country for the arts. 
Her graduation date is getting closer and she is ready to unleash her talent!

So to celebrate my new look Brittany is 
generously offering a 

FREE custom header and button for one lucky winner!

Or the winner can choose to get a whole blog design at 50% off!


My testimonial:

I had some ideas about how I wanted my blog to look, after sending her links to blogs I like, the kind of fonts that tickled my fancy, she came back in a matter of minutes with a few fonts that she felt captured the essence of my blog!

After a bit of tweaking she NAILED it! I am thoroughly impressed by her ability to read what I want and to express it in the design!

You will NOT be disappointed with her service.

 The install was a smooth transition, she ironed out the kinks and set it up just the way I wanted it!

Here are some samples of her work:
