I love the color of this blog, I love the fact that you use google and affiliates to generate income. I also love the way you show the products that are for sale - this blog is kept neat and clean. The ideas are pretty cool and useful too.
I like the header but I think the page would be better white. The color everywhere is overwhelming to me.
I removed the mauve color in the post title bar leaving it just pink like the background. I think this reduces the color overload a bit. What suggestions would you make for making the header better if you don't like it. I think it's fine but the gingham isn't anywhere else on the page except the footer. Maybe put the gingham in the buttons?
