Blog Transformation: Katie Daisy

I recently completed a PSD to Blogger conversion for design maven Katie Daisy. She purchased the Earl Grey Macaron layout, added her own design magic and presto: a lovely site! It was great to work with Katie and to implement her design -- and especially to see the Earl Grey Macaron layout transformed from minimal to WOW! :D

PS: I owe Danielle a HUUUUUUUUUUGE THANK YOU for recommending PBP to Katie -- thanks a million, Danielle! :D
