I did this yesterday having been inspired by Claire's blog which you can find here, her blog has just had a face lift as well and it's fantastic. I don't think mine is anywhere near as good but I'm happy with my first effort. I found a great tutorial on how to make a background for your blog here. I designed the background in photoshop and tweaked my html code in order to display it here.
There was also a tutorial for creating a signature, I thought I may as well have a go at this too and you can see the result below. I love the signature but I am not happy with the frame around the image. I couldn't work out how to change the html coding for this, despite the instructions! I've added the signature in the SETTINGS, FORMATTING, POST TEMPLATE section. If anyone can tell me how to change the html code so that my signature shows up in every post without the frame I'd really appreciate you leaving a comment.
Anyway perhaps I'll get round to some crafting today after spending much of yesterday fiddling around with pictures and files in photoshop.
Thanks
