Crafty Hippo Designs is the place to go if you are looking for a complete custom blog makeover or just need to update a couple of items on your existing design. Jeannette, owner of Crafty Hippo Designs, offers custom blog designs at affordable prices – starting at only $30! She also offer discounts for returning customers, referrals and the military. Also, for the whole month of May I’ll be having a sale on all design packages – all 50% off to celebrate her birthday!!!
If you don’t need a full blog design makeover, Crafty Hippo Designs also has a la carte service options including new buttons, headers, or social networking icons.
When we asked Jeannette how she got started doing design work, this is what she told us:
“I enjoy designing blogs so much that I found myself redesigning my own numerous blogs about once a month. Doing blog design for others has actually helped with that. It stretches my creativity because I am designing for people with different aesthetics than myself but it still allows me to try hundreds of different designs – without annoying my own readers!”
Here are some examples for the portfolio of designs at Crafty Hippo Designs. I had difficulty choosing just two, I loved so many! To see more of Jeannette’s designs, click here.

I really like the Real Housewives one. Maybe it’s b/c it’s black and white, I don’t know, but it is the one that jumped out the most to me. I like it. It’s sleek and sexy! Thank you so much for hosting this amazing event!
