Help...and a thanks!

When I arrive at work each morning, I start my day off by checking my work e-mail and setting up some preliminary tests in the lab. We are "technically" not supposed to be on the internet at work...but I don't believe in that rule (obviously)...so throughout my day when I have a few, I catch up on my fave blogs! Although I have been trying to ignore the fact that my blog is so not cute, it is hard not to notice when so many of you have fantastic templates and great headers! My template is just a boring Blogger template (but I do love the colors!) and my header is a totally lame version of my husband's attempt at a header that I forced him to make because I can't use Photoshop to save my life!

So I'm reaching out. Anyone have any suggestions or insight as to what I can do and who can do it for me?? :) I definitely want a three column layout and a way better header...but I'd really have to sit down and brainstorm what exactly I am looking for because I have no clue!?! All of your blogs are so creative and GORGEOUS! so I am inspired to have one of those too! I would appreciate any advice you could offer this newbie blogger who is totally out of the creative loop.



And as a thank you for listening to me blab on about my blog issues, I will tell you about this fabulous blog called Wandering DC. She is hosting a giveaway this week and you can win one of these tees called "My Husband Rocks." They are super cute...here is one example of one you can choose...so go check it out!

ok.. so i'm not amazing but I have created a few headers. I have been doing mine for a while. I dont know how to do the 3 column template but I can spread it out so the words aren't so mushed together. If you waaaant I could make a header for you. :) E-mail me at megchid@gmail.com & i'll send you a few pics of some that I have done just playing around/for my blog. If you like them I could make you one.

scrapblog.com! I am addicted to it!!! You can choose from a theme or create your own. There is soooooooo much to choose from! I swear I am on there like 2 hours a week trying to make a new header (since I change my background so often!) If you have ANY questions at all just let me know!

Good luck!
