Here is a free blogspot design that I've had on the back burner for a few weeks - the design had kind of stalled for lack of inspiration but I love the way it's turned out! Hope you like it too.

PS: the "inner" background green colour is #99CC99 - for those of you who want to use AdSense and have it blend seamlessly into the background. Also, if you want to add a widget in the bottom of the blog, I have adjusted the padding that a 468x60 adsense banner will be aligned in the center (otherwise it would cut into the sidebar bit). This will also work with a photograph or plain text - whatever kind of widgets you're into.
I would not recommend any footer stuff that's wider than 470 pixels (hey, it's the footer anyway, who looks down there?) but as you can see, the adsense fits in well at the base (and sidebar, of course!).
PPS: I will do different colour versions of this soon! Stay tuned!

This design is a lot more "simple" than what I usually do - but there's something about it that I really like. I hope someone else likes it too!

Happy new year everyone! Hope you've had a good holiday season!
I was supposed to fly back to Japan on Monday but it was pushed back to next week due to chickenpox! Yuck! They would have never allowed me to go through quarantine, looking as spotty as I do, so lucky for me I get 10 extra days of holidays! Hooray!
So here is a blogger template (XML) dedicated to my chickenpox: spotty dotty!

Here's a cute, pink, XML Blogger template. Simple and sweet:

Download the template: here
Same drill as always if you're installing this XML blogger template -- Back up your widgets/links etc as installing a new design may erase them. If you're installing this design over a "classic" (or html) blogger template, you may have to pick a generic blogger template first before uploading this.

Ok, I've made a another XML template which is pretty cute. There is room for your own description, but it's going to overlap the exclamation point (it doesn't look bad but I prefer it without). Also, this has a super cute pencil at the base of the entry! So cute!
(click on pic for a live preview)
Note: If you have any widgets/data that you do not wish to lose in your sidebar please backup your data before uploading this - you may lose them!
- If you are currently using a template in "Classic Blogger"
you may have to go back to your Blogger dashboard and click on TEMPLATE >> CUSTOMISE DESIGN for it to work.
You will have to "upgrade your template" to upload the XML file.
It may ask you to chose a generic template first, but after doing this you can go to the below TEMPLATE screen and "upload a template from a file on your hard drive" - and it will work.
- If you are already using "new" Blogger:
then you should be able to upload this straight away - again, please back up your current template if you have data in the sidebar, as previously mentioned.
How to install:

Click: download the Code (zip)
Click: download the Code (zip)
ps: if you have the "Edit Post" thingy set then it's going to appear that there are 2 pencils almost overlapping at the base of the entry. Don't worry, you're the only one who sees two pencils.

Here's a blogger template (for "classic" blogger) that I've had floating around for a while. Not too fancy, but I like the colours and I know that some people want a pretty simple design.

This is a slightly altered "Simple Fantasy" design, with some flowers added behind your title. The side bar is a slightly different colour also. Enjoy!

Hi there! Hope you like this design. It's simple, classy and neat. Too neat and clean for me, mind you, but it's still really nice.

Ok, here is one of my "original" designs - "Candy Coloured Dreams" - although I have fixed up a few minor problems (it's amazing how much I've taught myself about Blogger designs over the last few months!).

I know a lot of people are going to want this design using your header and description but please be patient: that design is coming! I just thought I'd quickly post this one up. I'm sooooo busy right now (with work, this site, impending xmas - omg can you believe the year is nearly over?). Apologies for not updating as much as I'd like to but I have more than 50 designs in my archive now - most with live previews - so that should keep you busy!

I love pictures of cupcakes and candy (no secret by now). Unfortunately I am not a good artist!
I got permission from the delightful Burnbadart to use an image she did of cupcakes in one of my designs and I just have to say a HUUUUGE thank you! I love these cupcakes soooo much! Simply delightful!

PS: Due to the spacing of the header image and the actual text of your heading I would advise you to have both a heading and description. If you don't have a title for your blog there is going to be some weird space there. Therefore, I advise you to have a heading a description for this template.

Incase the "Pink Flowery Border" design is too dark for you, I've made a version with a white background a cute bluey flowers! Nice! It too is wide and includes the header and description.
Enjoy!

Yes, I'm back. Here's a design I whipped up in response to the fact that some of my designs are girly - why yes, indeed, sometimes they are. Here's one with extra sugar.

My traffic is slowly increasing and I have been "reviewed" and mentioned on some sites. Most of the comments are lovely but I have just seen one that referred to my designs as being mostly feminine.
I will admit that it made me feel somewhat guilty for not catering to a masculine audience - as most of my designs are indeed feminine. However, I don't really care because I'm willing to bet that it's mostly women who want to change their designs. In fact I've only ever had one email from a male.
Anyway, I like things to be a little different. If you want to see something specific, let me know. I like *original* Blogger templates and that doesn't mean getting some graphic from your favourite anime movie and slapping it on a template. Sorry.
Contact me here.

A HUGE thank you to xxTaylerxx at Deviant Art for allowing me to use her illustration in the following Blogger design.
This is quite a simple style of template, but very cute! Hope you like it.

This design is inspired by a Hefner song. If you don't know who Hefner are (no, not Hugh Hefner, silly! Hefner the British band! Click here to watch live video). Gosh how I love that song!

This design is called "Autumn Sweater" and, as you can see, it's extremely similar to "Where's Jack?" (see below). I'm sick of summer and can't wait for autumn - well, Northern Hemisphere autumn anyway. Those below the equator are headed for summer (HAHAHA!). I had two summers in 2007 and it was waaaay too many for me. Luckily next year I'll get two winters! Hoorah!

Wow, I'm totally in love with this Blogger design. I'm starting to experiment with space a little more and I like the effects. I hope you like it too (but who knows, maybe what I enjoy is a bit wacky!?).

This free blog design includes one of my all time favourite quotes from Sylvia Plath:
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt".
