Blog Redesign

As you know I'm doing a giveaway and asking for your help on ways to make my blog better. Well Mommy's Quiet Time is doing a giveaway from Subjective Beauty for a blog design. Subjective Beauty has great work and is pretty affordable. I really like her design she did for Punky Monkeys and A Daily Dose of Toni.
I would love to win because then I wouldn't have to figure this all out myself, but if not your tips are still greatly appreciated. Eventually I'll figure out the best way to make my blog great!
