"How long was I in a coma?" - "Why, Blogger, it was just a few days"

Dear Blogger,


Welcome back from your coma.  Whilst you were asleep, many people thought about jumping ship to WordPress. Even though I use WordPress and Blogger, I still believe in you.  You are free, flexible and this is the biggest breakdown you have had, even since I have been using you (yeah, since 2003), and you know, blogs are cool and all, but there are other things in life more important and it doesn't hurt to remember that sometimes.

(Besides, there are so many freaking fugly WP themes out there that it's not funny!) 

So Blogger, my trusty friend - welcome back.


Love,
Sharnee

Did you miss Blogger a lot over the last few days or did you not really notice?

Here's a welcome back template in some lovely light hues (I don't want to shock you with too much colour after the events of the week), so we'll stay calm.  Green, Orange, Blue. Calm and relaxing.

The image preview below looks lame, but if you click on the template you'll see how lovely and delicate it is.

(I have used Google Fonts which are not changeable from within the template designer tab)

Cakies in Love

Welcome to the new look yummylolly.com - hope you like it (click out of your reader if that's where you're reading this from).  Oooh, it's been candified!

The header images are from JW Illustrations (and wow, can Jessica draw)! I fell in love with her images as soon as I saw them.  Such a great price for amazing illustrations (this is not a sponsored post, I honestly love her art!).  It's perfect for your blog - check out the different licensing options here.  Prices are exceptionally reasonable!


My favourite product would have to be her custom character illustration!!

I have also created a new template using some very sweet little cupcake images that I purchased from Jessica.... It's only a first meeting but I think these cupcakes will be together forever.

Important! Please leave the credit links to Jessica on the blog template INTACT.  You may not use these cupcake images for commercial purposes, nor may you remove them from the blog template.
If you would like to use these images in any other way, please visit Jessica's site and purchase the images.

Orange Love Letter (more colours coming soon!)

Wow, I love this template, I really really like it!  Click here to go and have a look - it's got a delightful scalloped edge with tiny hearts and also a banner for behind the date.

Isn't it lovely?

If you like it or use it, let me know - I'd love to see it in action!

Lady on the Side - 2 Column template with feature lady!

Here we have a delightful blogger template with a woman on the side. Literally! This has a main blog area and a somewhat recessed sidebar - a lovely change from the ordinary blogs that just line them both up together. I hope someone out there likes this....
