Ding Dong the witch is dead............

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well.

Just had to show off one of my latest purchases because I think they are fab. Everytime I look at them or think about them they make me smile. Maybe its because when I was at school our play was the Wizard of Oz. I sang Ding Dong the witch is dead as a duet. So I think they evoke fond memories.

Pictures are courtesy of the artist herself, thank you Ali. You can find her fab clay models at Mud Meddling

Do you have a purchase that brings a smile to your face?

My very own giveaway - Woohoo x

Well I thought I would do a giveaway. As mentioned in previous posts I have been one lucky lady and I thought I would share the love so to speak. This giveaway will be a surprise parcel of some of the lovely goodies I have purchased from Folksy (with a value of over £50) and I may include some goodies I have made myself. So this is a pictureless as far as the giveaway goodies go. So, if you fancy a surprise just leave a comment below to enter and if you would be so kind as to spread the word :).

This is very exciting even though I cannot possibly win this time. The deadline for the giveaway is Sunday 17th October at 8.00pm. Then I'll get my kiddiwinks to choose a winner which I will announce on the Monday.

Good luck everyone.

Part 4 giveaway - funky diva designs

Wow I've managed to blog everyday in October so far. I'm so very proud of myself and I've even managed to change the look of my blog, just a little. The changes are very pleasing to me if no one else. I've also managed to learn a few technical things, some courtesy of fellow bloggers, that make this blogging malarky a little easier. Anyhow, this is not why I am blogging today its to give you the final instalment of my giveaway wins to date.

So thanks to Anna Ryan at funky diva designs on Etsy I won a fantabulous make-up brush wrap in the most delicious fabric, which I receieved yesterday. Again I've used Anna's pics as you can all do it so much better than me. I'm just one lucky lucky girl. Please take a browse round Anna's beautiful shop by clicking my link (there are some fab goodies using beautiful fabric).

So a big big thank you to Anna xx

I would like to say although I have included 4 giveaway wins I have also been lucky enough to have contact with some fantastic sellers mainly through Folksy who have been so so generous when I have made purchases from them. There are too many to list here but why not click on the link and buy handmade :)

Part 3 giveaway - Trinket Box

Hello everyone well I'm back again and this time its to tell you about the beautiful personalised pendant that I won on Sophie Franck's giveaway. You can find her beautiful jewellery on Folksy by clicking the link to her shop Trinket Box. Sophie completely consulted with me on the design for this (she is fabulous and so patient). I decided on a heart with my children's initials and a green gem. It is so so beautiful and I treasure it. I just couldn't captured the beauty of it in any of my photo's so I have used one of Sophie's own (with her kind permission).










Don't you just love it. I do.


Thank you Sophie you make wonderful jewellery :)

My giveaway wins 1st instalment

Hello again .... As the title intimated this will be the 1st instalment of my giveaway wins, as yes really I have won a few. Very lucky I know. First I would like to apologise to everyone included in these giveaway blogs for it taking me so long to make a public thank you for all the fab goodies I have received. (I have thanked each person privately because really I'm not that rude).

So in no particular order. First is The Whimsical Wren who sent me some fab goodies for being her 100th customer as well as refunded the cost of my purchase. Wow I know I was so lucky. Well not really lucky because as soon as I read about her generous offer I whizzed over to her shop as fast as lightening to make sure I was number 100 he he. Here's a few pics showing off my goodies (apologies for the quality Jennie). Don't forget to click on the link to be taken to her fabulous shop. You will not regret it :).

As I say my pictures really don't do justice to the yummy goods that I received from Jennie and yes the eclairs have all gone. Jennie has already passed sale number 200(yes I am that late in blogging about it) and she'll be at sale number 300 before we know it!!

Next up will be Dottie Designs but you will just have to wait and see the pics of the beautiful gift I received.

Thank you everyone for reading and I'll be back ha ha
