Crochet Flowers Everywhere + a little Giveaway

My lovely friend Ann gave me a tin of crocheted flowers and other little bits and pieces for Christmas.  I was immediately in love with them and used some to make my new header.  

But that was not enough so I encircled my hat from Kmart...
...but that was not enough so I made a necklace or two...
...but that was not enough so I turned some into scissor tags...
...and then I felt happy.  Very happy indeed.

I made a couple of extra little scissor tags so I have two to giveaway.  
If you would like one please leave me a comment on this post saying whether you would like the puppy or the flower.  If more than two people want one I'll draw a winner next Wednesday and let you know.
Tonight I'll be joining Wendy and a whole heap of my blogging friends for

  1. I love your header - and the buttons - such good fun. What a lovely gift that you have put to very good use.
    I would love a little puppy dog but I am in England and I totally understand if the postage is too dear.
