Wanting to Update and Personalize My Blog with a New Design

After much prodding from my Loving husband (hopefully someday he will be okay with me posting a photo of him)...I think I am finally going to spend the money to have my blog professionally designed. 

I am enjoying blogging so much and the new people I am now having the chance to meet...it is time to put a little money into my new found past time. 

It is amazing what my Fishful Thinking Blog has allowed me to experience beyond my home....

I have met and made many new Bloggy Friends...Love you all!

I have been involved with two fun Swaps...and hope to get involved with more :)

I have be able to connect with others and share my family recipes and stories.

I have had the opportunity to review many great products and even complete some Great Giveaways...I hope that trend will continue.

So now I need some help and guidance from my fellow bloggers.  What do I do now?  Where do I go?  I really want my blog design to be about my love of cooking and my family.  I want to make it so me and easier to navigate.  I have been searching, but I want to make sure I find the right one to design my blog.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks everyone!
