...and a give-away for you
Today is my 55th birthday. I love special days especially my birthday and I want to share my happiness with you. Wonderful Jane from Want it, Need it, Quilt, my very favourite on-line quilt shop, has very generously given me a $25 Gift Voucher to give to one of you to help celebrate my birthday.As so often in bloggy world there are three ways to go in the draw and you can have up to three entries.
- leave me a Happy Birthday message on this post
- be a follower and leave me a comment letting me know that's what you are, on this post
- blog about my birthday giveaway (or mention it on Facebook) and let me know on this post
and her the $10 charm packs are brilliant such as these gorgeous William Morris prints.
The super-dooper bargain is Layer Cakes from $25 with the scrumptious Cabbages and Roses Layer Cake for $28. There are many others for only $32.50.
Not only are Jane's prices a bargain, she is the nicest person you could ever hope to correspond with and I do hope one day I'll get to meet her in person. I'll show you the wonderful birthday present she made for me tomorrow.
The photo at the top of the post shows some of the wonderful gifts I received from my dear bloggy friends. Enormous thanks to everyone. I'll be blogging more about them over the next week.
FABULOUS FREE STUFF
I really love this armchair sewing caddy from Hugs by Helen which I discovered on sweet Peg's blog. I'm making some of these throughout the year as Christmas presents. Helen is very generous with all that she shares with us. Thank you so much.

ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. Love your blog name. I've lived on a hill all my life. Growing up north was up and south was down toward town. Now, south is uphill and north is down toward city center. I've lived in this house for over 30 years and I still have to think about north and south, because north is up and south is down!!!!At least the mountains have remained on the east, there are some towns where the sun sets in the east for me because the mountains moved.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday for the 3rd Feb Mel, I hope you had an awesome day. Thankyou for a chance in your most delightful giveaway.
