Templates

When I first started blogging, I didn't really care about my template. Everyone seemed to have the same generic design. And life was simple. But then suddenly everyone started getting customized headers. I was jealous. I wanted my blog to look fabulous too. A few months later, Mary graciously agreed to make me a header for free. And it was lovely...
But then the kids' pictures became outdated. I thought about contacting Mary again, but decided that she would think that I was annoying. So instead, I kept my header for a few more months. Then one day Z's Mom had a fancy new template on her blog that she uploaded for free from Simply Fabulous Blogger Templates. I was super excited! A FREE TEMPLATE!

So I picked out a nice summery theme. This is my current template, but guess what? I am bored and want another template. I am so damn annoying. But instead of going the free template route again, I followed Z's Mom's advice. I have been messing around with scrapblog, trying to make my own custom header. I have narrowed it down to two options, and I would love to know which one you like best.

Option A...Option B...

    Ok, I told myself I had to make up my mind before I read the other comments and I have to say they all agreed with me...such smart people!
    B is the best!

    i like them both, christy;) a is probably my favorite (i love the color green, though). good luck changing it.
    when you changed it the last time, did you lose your widgets??? i have lost them once, and now i'm kind of afraid to change anything by my background (which sucks because my collumn background is transparent).
    love,
    dani

    Hey Christy....dang...you and I are related... I'm so bored with my template right now and if I hadn't been so busy I would have changed it already again too!

    Both of those options are great...but, sis, I think I agree with the others that I like the 2nd one the best!

    I like A! It's easier to see the tag line, and the green is soothing and shows of your kids pics. :-)

    (PS. I've totally been playing scrapblog trying to get some bloggy design on, too! Maybe I'll reveal mine in the next weeks...)
