Hi everyone...

I'll be out of range for a few weeks as I'm about to leave this country (in the next few days) and move back home.
More designs coming really really soon!

Sincerest apologies to everyone out there for not posting a design in the last week or so!
I'm in the last phase of what is known as hell aka: "moving overseas for the 4th time in 10 years".  Luckily for me I'm moving back home (and home is where the heart is after all) so things are CRAZY and exciting, all at once!

If I get time, I'd like to pop another design up before I disappear for a few weeks - please please don't forget about ol' suckmylolly.com - just know that I haven't abandoned ship.  What a perfect chance it would be to join the email newsletter to know when more designs are made.

(the links on the right there)

I've received an exceptional amount of love letters this week all telling me how much you like my designs and appreciate the fact that they're free - please know that I love and adore knowing that people get some joy out of something I've created.  Yes, even if it is a blog template - I love the fact you've gone to the trouble to tell me how much you like it!

It just makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks again, peoples!

Here is a very pretty 800px wide free blogger theme. The background colour is editable from within the "Edit Colours & Fonts" tab.

PS: I have included photoshop image and a PDF file with instructions on how to get rid of the boring text header (seen above) that comes from yr Blogger Dashboard so you can make your own pretty headers with actual nice fonts.

PPS: As far as I am aware, the image is in the public domain. Artist unknown.

Slightly different from the classic template - I'm so pleased with how this one turned out. No doubt it will contain too much "knickers" for some... but oh well.

I have also included all image files (including photoshop psd file with rasterized fonts), gif and jpg AND instruction manual PDF on how to replace the header image and ditch the plain text (boring! yawn) header. Wow, you're so lucky!

Please note that I have made my own header image and installed it under LAYOUT > PAGE ELEMENTS. You can do this too - as long as the header image has a background colour of white (to be seamless!) and is 720 pixels wide. Height isn't as important as width, so it doesn't matter how high. This design will come with a plain text header by default.

Make sure that you select the following if you want to replace your header with an image:


This is what I did (thinking it would be easier than replacing the image path in the code as I have been instructing in my recent designs - the jury's out - I think I prefer the other way as it allows you to be more precise and specific).

'tis cute though!

I love brown when it's done well (that sounds so odd to say) - but other, brighter, colours tend to look very pretty with dark brown. Anyway, I love this template. It's 750 pixels wide.

The design is free and works with "new" blogger - ie: it's an XML template. Please ensure that you backup your widget data, as installing a new template will wipe/erase your current widget content.


*** A few things ***
This blogger template is for those of you who are comfortable editing images and uploading them to the internet (and then replacing the image path). YOUR BLOG TITLE AND DESCRIPTION WILL NOT SHOW UP - this design is not interactive from your Blogger Dashboard.

The header image is a blank image that you may do what you wish to. I have included a jpg, a gif and the layered photoshop file (for those who have photoshop). Download the zipped up folder for all the files you'll need for the header.

Here is the image (see it's blank and ready for you):
click the image to view full size
and then right click and "Save Image As....."
(or download the zip file, it's in there too!)

Sheesh! I got it! Gimme the template already!!

There are loads of Ume Blossoms out in Japan right now and they are soooo cute. I, personally think that Ume (plum) blossoms are more aesthetic than cherry blossoms - their colour is more vibrant and they seem heavier. Of course I do love them both. Anyhow, here's a blog design with some ume blossoms (image from a public domain collection).
