I'm Brooke, here to publicly share my design addictions, product lusts, general obsessions and justification for cramming way too much pattern in any given space. « Design for your blog GIVEAWAY

I originally started the Idea Attic as home design tips, tricks, and idea sharing, but I’ve generated some interest in the graphic design/web work that I do. Recently, I’ve been getting many inquiries about blog designs, so I’m doing a Blog Design Giveaway where I’ll create a design for your blog!
HOW TO ENTER:
Click the comments link in the top right of this post to enter (or via comment box below depending on how you got to this post). PS - this must be a personal blog, not a business blog.
For a double entry - blog about the contest on your blog and put the link to the post in your comment.
OR
For a double entry - Twitter about the contest and link your twitter home page in your comment.
THE PROCESS:
If you win, this is how we start:
1. You tell me blogs or websites that you like the look of so I know what kind of style you like.
2. I create a design (background pattern and header image) and send you a jpg so you can see what direction I’m heading
3. You give me your feedback
4. I implement the design on your blog
Contest will close on Monday, January 12.

@ Aimee - It sounds like we have some friends in common! Thanks for the entry!
@Anya - Thanks for the blog link and for your interest in my design. I love doing it, and I love getting the opportunity to design for all different tastes!
Hi Brooke - How do you add a Twitter feed to a blog? I can’t wait to see who wins the make-over!
@Steve - Hi Steve!
Under your settings while logged into Twitter, there is a link that says, “(You can also add Twitter to your site here)”
Click that link, and follow the prompts to copy and paste html code into your blog. Hope that helps!
i’m in….i’m getting bored with mine….
I’m a friend of Shannon’s. I absolutely LOVE what you did for her blog and would be honored if you help me with mine. Even if I don’t win I’d love for you to help me.
Brooke-your mom told me about your giveaway. I would love a new look for my blog and I love what you did for Shannon’s blog:) Besides I’m Shelley’s BFF so that should count for something:::)))
I always spend forever trying to get mine to look good and in the end, I’m still not happy. [sigh]
I’d love to have you do it.

me! me! pick me Brooke. I’m going to twitter you and blog it. does that give me 3 entries?
Obviously I am going to be the WINNER because we go WAY back! It’s as if we are almost sisters! Okay - will me giving you chocolate covered gummy bears seal the deal?
@Christine - I DO consider those as currency…
I need a blog-lift!! Alan moved our blog to wordpress and put it on our domain. But its sadly not pretty!! And Twittering & Blogging more was one of my news years resolutions!! So I twittered about this for double points! BooYa! http://twitter.com/KellyPooch

Hope I get this personalized makeover…my page needs it!!!
Have a fabulous Day!

Hi Brooke,
I was blog hopping and am so excited to have stumbled across your blog…just in the nick of time! My blog was made for this contest, it is so very dull! I love the looks of yours and the designs you’ve created. I’ll be crossing my fingers!
Thanks,
Kjerstin
@ Val, @Kjerstin - Yea! New readers! Glad you found your way here… Good Luck!
Hey, Brooke!!! I just came across your blog cuz Angie sent me a link to her own. I had no idea what amazing talent you have. I would love a blog design from you. . . even if I don’t win. I’ll add your contest to my blog as well. You are AMAZIN’ !!!
@Kim - HI! I didn’t know you had a blog either! I saw your Christmas card when Grandma Western was looking at it. BEAUTIFUL!
I think that you have an amazing talent too! I want you to give my vote to Kim Zufelt! She would love it! Thanks so much!
I always need help in the creative department…so I’d be happy to win and let you make things beautiful. Even if I don’t win, I need to hire you for something else! Curious?
@ Michelle - Is it canvas time?
Hi, I am Lydia’s friend and read her “twitter” about you! I would love a blog design makeover! Thanks!
Oh pick me, pick me! Couldn’t have found you at a better time. Just signed up to wordpress for a new blog I’m setting up and had buyer’s remorse when i realised how hard it is to make the page look half decent! might stick with blogger, but still need clever creative helper to make it pretty! i posted about the comp here: http://renovateanddecorate.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-week-why-dont-you.html
cheers!
I would love a blog redo! I keep adding little things and it seems so unorganized to me.

Thanks,

I admire your work and simply wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I was able to get a “blog makeover!”
The blog is a personal blog to keep my family and friends (and new friends)up to date with me. I stay quite busy with work, 2 boys, digi scrapping, hanging out with my grandma, and volunteering at the church when I can. I work full-time as a travel consultant specializing in destination weddings (a blog for that is destined in the future.)
*raising hand unpatiently in the air* Pick me!
Hi Brooke
Winning this would be a godsend…I love designing but for some reason am clueless about web design. Not enough hours in the day to become “superdesigner woman” - fighting bad design when ever it attacks. (seems programming is my kryptonite)
Look forward to reading your blog in 2009.
I stumbled across your blog and I’m very impressed. I love your blog layout. I’m always fiddlying with mine and I’m always happy for new ideas or a total change.
Your site is so very lovely…I would LOVE to have your fingerprints on mine!
Love your blog! I’d love to love my blog more!
Cool! I love design, but unfortunately can’t translate that to web design. I’ve been trying to redesign my blog myself, and it’s certainly not the best. What a great giveaway!
I wish I would have found your blog before this contest ended! I’m dying to have a custom look for my blog, but my web-design husband isn’t willing to take the challenge. Hopefully you’ll have another contest like this again!
