Freebie Week!

I can't believe it is almost a month since I started this blog, and the one month anniversary happens to fall on my little monkey's 2nd birthday - this Friday, October 5th. So what better excuse for a giveaway?! There will be 3 (or maybe 4 prizes), and names will be picked from a hat (or some alternative should a hat not be close to hand!) on Sunday evening, any comment posted on the blog from today until then is in for a chance!



first up is one of my horses (in pink - the most popular colour!)
the next 2 names out of the hat each get a little pot (painted by Grace) and filled with bits and bobs for crafting....fabric yoyos, ribbon, trim, buttons, and a very special embroidered button from my friend Claudia (who has a shop on etsy....I'll link to it in a bit - promise!)

and last (but not least) is a set of 3 fabric heart christmas decorations

So, good luck everyone and thank you for watching me, reading about what I get up to, taking the time to post comments and for generally making me feel welcome in the land of Blog. You're all fab :)

Hi,

Thanks for your comment ..... I think that your idea for my little monkeys is excellent! For some reason it made me think of the film Cats and Dogs and those Siamese cats wrecking havoc in the lounge! (Note to self .... must watch Cats and Dogs again)

And oh look, I seem to have stumbled into your blog on freebie day .... how fortuitous!!

I had a snoop around while I was here (hope you don't mind) and you make the sweetest things :)

Ah, Happy Birthday to the little Monkey & well done on your first month.
Can't wait to see some more piccies.
I've managed to make some Xmas decs today so will post them tomorrow.
I've just booked another fair in Nov so I need to get as super fast as you at making otherwise I'll be up that creek with a straw for a paddle! (He! He!)

I'm so very sorry, I don't mean to leave 2 comments on this post, but I forgot to mention that I wanted to wish your son a very happy birthday tomorrow!! It's partyweek this week, I had 2 birthdays this week (my oldest girl is born the day after my son became 2!). Have a nice day and than a nice weekend!

Phil &amp; Alex said...

what an absolutely brilliant idea! We're new at blogging - it's great to checkout other people's. Happy 2nd birthday....we're thrilled to be put in the hat with a chance to win some great goodies!

Hello and happy birthday and anniversary to you

You left a comment on my blog about trackers - how to see who is looking at your blog. The best free one I've ever found (i'm not a techie and only tried two but this is by far the better) is extreme tracker which you can find at http://extremetracking.com

then you follow the really easy instructions to get the html source code and cut and paste it into your blog. It's really easy.

If you have a new style blog, then go to the tab 'Template' at the top of the screen, click 'Add a page element' wherever you want the tracker to go (top/bottom/sidebar), press the 'HTML/Javascript' button and paste your code in.

I hope that works and brings you some joy.

Cheers
Karen

I think that the heart christmas decorations are great - something to last - you've inspired me to make some for our tree and I'll personalise them to match our interests.

The horses are lovely - and they are my favourite animal

Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday too x

Some lovely toys you have made there. I'm quite new to crafting and tend to stick more to paper type crafts.

Well done you.
