Fall Y’all, bloggy giveaway #1: Christmas blog design

October 29, 2007

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI am offering two items in the Fall Y’all bloggy giveaway, and this is the first: a Barefoot Blogs pre-made Christmas blog design. The header will be customized with your blog title. This design is for Blogger, and can be used in one of two ways: as a holiday design for your regular blog, or as a separate Christmas blog - think of it as an online version of the traditional holiday year-in-review letter, but with no paper or printing costs; no postage; no mailing deadlines hanging over your head; no standing in line at the post office; and you can make it as lengthy and photo filled as you like!

Here is a preview:
