Blogiversary Giveaway

Good afternoon all my wonderful blogging friends.  I just thought I would pop in and say thank you to all who have entered my giveaway to help me celebrate my first anniversary of blogging.
This has been a totally new experience for me and although at the moment, I have lost my mojo and have not been crafting for a while now, you are still coming to visit me and for that I am really grateful.
I could not have asked for a nicer bunch of people who are visiting my blog and because of your visits, I know that I will be crafting again really soon.

I know that you will all be wondering who the winner is of the giveaway and this will be coming soon.

I have a very good friend of mine coming to my house and we are going to put all the entries into a Christmas hat and she is going to draw out the winner, I am not going to have any part of this.  I have passed this job over to Karen, I didn't know how to do it any other way.  So I hope that you all think that this is a fair way for me to carry out the draw.

I wish everyone good luck and even when this giveaway is finished, I will be having another one once I reach 100 followers.  I can't believe that I now have over 80 followers, so I know that I will have to start crafting again in order for you all to have things to look at.  I probably won't take up full time crafting now until after the New Year as I want to start the year afresh and with some new ideas.  I am also going to start making jewellery next year also, so that I have something else to keep my mind occupied.


NOW TIME FOR THE DRAW, KAREN HAS 'RUMBLED' ALL THE NAMES ABOUT IN THE CHRISTMAS HAT AND SHOOK THEM AND DONE EVERYTHING THAT IS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS A FAIR DRAW FOR EVERYONE.

I AM DELIGHTED TO TELL YOU THAT THE WINNER OF THE DRAW .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................NUMBER 27....................................................
...........................................ITA O'BYRNE O'KEEFE..............................................
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Congratulations Ita, I will be in contact with you via email to work out the details of delivery of the package.

Thank you to everyone who entered into this giveaway and for becoming new followers, I am delighted to have you visiting me.  I hope to start crafting again after the New Year, once all the festivities have finished and I have my crafting space back to normal.

Christmas Tree

Hi everyone, apologies for being missing in action for so long, I haven't forgotten about you.  I am trying to get myself organised for Christmas and it is going very slowly, but I am sure that I will get there eventually.  Well I have to as Christmas isn't that far away. lol
First though is my birthday, which is tomorrow, and I can't believe that another year has passed so quickly.  Mind you though, I am still really only in my 20's, lol well I like to think so anyway.
Over the past week I managed to put up my Christmas tree and decided to post it on my blog just so that you could see it, I had to take the pics with my phone, so the quality isn't as good as I would have liked, but here is my tree and the little people that take up residence underneath it at this time of year.

Hopefully Santa will leave some lovely Christmas presents beneath the tree, we will just need to wait and see.  I know that I have been a good girl this year, so fingers crossed.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Best Wishes for 2014.

May your Christmas be blessed with all your family around you and that 

all your dreams come true.
