FOR A FREE BLOG MAKEOVER.
Before we get to the details, I'm going to have Shay tell you a little bit about herself.
--------------------------
Hi, I'm Shay
I am a stay-at-home mom and army wife who LOVES grahic design. We currently live in Fort Knox, KY but Chespeake, VA will always be our home.
What's with the name? When our son was a wee little infant, my husband used to call him crazy off the wall names, including his little "Love Dumplin." I thought this was so cute, that I started using it as well, which kind of ticked off my husband (he likes things to be HIS). After he deployed, that name just stuck with me and I never stopped using it. So, the name is in honor of our son, our little love dumplin.

I tend to like 3 column layouts best. As long as it's clean and organized...I can't stand a cluttered look or too many things going on at once.

Some of my favorite blog design elements are easy to navigate blogs with a button bar with links to parties, features, buttons, home, etc.
I love the Aroo Studio blog!
I way love shabby-chic, and she has two that I really like. the "Little Miss Momma" and the "Sunshine Cali". YAY for blog makeovers!!! :)
Following Shay on Blogger...does that count?
My favorite design elements are grab buttons and headers. I LOVE a girly, swirly, cheerful header! :)
Re-blogged! :)
Thanks for hosting such a great give away!
follow your blog~
I would say my favorite is "all things beautiful" but it was very hard to pick - Shay is very talented!
Some of my favorite blog design elements are things that my blog is currently without: beautiful headers, a aesthetically pleasing 3 column blog that is picture-friendly and buttons that make it easy to navigate around on a blog. Things I don't like? Well, there aren't many for me as long as a blog is well organized!
I'm a follower :o) I know you *want* my blog to win right ;) haha
I love Shay's designs! My so called fairy tale is my favorite!
I am a follower!
My favorite is the Little Miss Momma Business Card. It's unique and will certainly catch people's eye when she passes them out.

My favorite blog design element are the logo buttons. When people see it they automatically relate it to your blog!! It's kinda like your own personal trademark.
i like Little Miss Momma the best

My favorite blog elements are three colums. I like being able to put button ads in the sidebars as well as other menu options.

I absolutely ADORE the Little Miss Momma design! I've been keeping a blog for my son since he was born 2 years ago as sort of a virtual baby book, and this would be awesome to win!
I have to say it was really hard to pick just one. I love her work! I think my favorite was the Adventures in Iowa design.

I like really eye-catching fonts and graphics, but I don't like it if it's too cartoon-ish.
My faves are the Little Miss Momma and the All Things Beautiful designs.
My favorite blog elements are dynamic headers with pictures and really great/creative blog buttons (which I do not have). The only thing I don't like is when blogs look too generic and tell you nothing about the personality of the writer.
Very creative! I would love to win this, as I am not nearly as creative. I ADORE the little miss momma design

Things I love are how the designs are simple and pleasing to the eye. I'm not a fan of super cluttered looking blogs that make your eyes go crazy bouncing around trying to take it all in! :)

I love creative signatures on posts... I hate little mouse icons that slow me down... when my arrow turns into running dinosaurs or flowers it just drives me nutty. I also don't like automatic music play. Sometimes I'm surfing at work :)
Retweeted from Shay and then did my own tweet!
