Fab Birds Book Club

Well we had our second meeting a week ago to discuss the book we had all read. Which was The Rapture by Liz Jensen. I must admit I was a little nervous building up to the meeting because I had been so disappointed in the book. Thankfully (if that makes sense), we all pretty much agreed!! However, this may be the first and last time we do. It is such a shame because the book started off so well but then I felt the author lost her way.

Next read is The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. Now this is a weighty book page wise and I've got 4 weeks left to read it. So I better get a move on! It has good reviews but so did the last book so we shall have to wait and see. Fingers crossed its good.

Bye for now.

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

Got to get my head round this blogging!!!!

I know I know I haven't been keeping up but I so want to! I love reading all the blogs I follow and don't understand myself sometimes. Why can't I find just a few spare moments to at least type something. I thing the real problem is that I read lots of beautiful blogs and feel just a tad intimidated. Shouldn't do really, but I do. From today I'm making a promise to myself to at least say something once a week.

First I want to change the look of my blog. Its very boring. I want to prettify it. Any help here would be appreciated. Think it will be a rolling change as I get to grasp of how to make the changes and what to change.

So, today at least I've said something. No pictures but some words have been typed.

Bye for now and I promise I will be back again this week. As I said any suggestions would be considered and I love to read any comments :) xx Take care xx
