Designing for a great cause!

We're offering a custom blog kit for the winner, all proceeds go to benefit this family. By taking part in this silent auction, not only will you get the custom blog design you've been dreaming of, but your donations will bless a family in need.

So, go check out our auction item (#29) and many other wonderful Christmas goodies up for donation!! Happy Bidding!! :)

Retiring i.smitten Templates Sale!

Since it's the season for gift-giving (and gift-getting!) we wanted to let you do a little of both at the same time! We'll explain...

Several of the designs that kicked off our i.smitten collection are now being retired and will no longer be sold. SO, for the next couple weeks we are selling those designs for 1/2 OFF--yes, this means you can get two for the price of one (or $2.50 each)!

Wouldn't a template make a unique Christmas gift for a friend or family member who wants to start a blog? (Not to mention a fun gift for yourself?) And for you last minute gift-buyers, we've pushed the last day of the sale to Christmas Eve. :)

Go check those out and come back soon for some giveaways that you will definitely NOT want to miss out on!

Happy Blogging!

A little whimsy...

The weather may be turning cold and brisk, but with a warm scarf and fuzzy mittens, a day at the fair will always bring some holiday cheer...

A sweet little piece like this will warm up any corner of your home. How can you help but smile a little when you look at this charming decor?

We just love the idea of having a cheery place to collect your memories. Your thoughtful blogspot deserves to get dressed up now and then too. That's why we designed a little surprise for you.
As always, this i.smitten template can be purchased for $5. Our i.smitten collection continues to grow each week as we find inspiration for new designs. So why not take a minute, and treat yourself to a new look? You'll be so happy you did! Enjoy!
