I decided on a whim that I wanted to redesign my blog, and with not a large budget I searched Etsy for templates. I found a great designer that lives in Munich, Germany and she was super affordable! Premade templates are THE way to go if you want to start a blog and don't have any HTML experience. You can find templates for Blogger and Wordpress, and for an additional cost designers will work with you to customize the site.

Here are some great design shops on Etsy:

• 17th Avenue Designs
• Munich Paris Design 
• Get Polished Creative
•  Luca Logos
• Eclair Designs

I've been blogging for FIVE years, and the one thing that hasn't changed is my logo. My friend, Casey, created it for me and I still love it to this day. Maybe one day I'll create a new logo, what do you think? Do you think I should change it up?
