Winner of my Valentines Candy and a little purchase I just had to share...

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Is your life as crazy and busy as mine??  I must make it this way I guess..well at least there is never a dull moment!!  I am trying to catch up on 20,000 things today and I wanted to draw my Valentines candy. Thank you to everyone for entering!

The lucky winner is: Sandra H

Sandra I will be in touch with you to get your address details!

I have more candy all ready to go, so stay tuned I hope to post it up this week.

 

Also I went grocery shopping yesterday and I bought a pair of little booties for the baby.  I have started packing my hospital bag and booties or socks were on the list for the baby.  We dont have any of either yet so I had to go and purchase something.  This is what I found and I thought they were just so cute I had to share a photo with you!  I think they will keep his/her feet warm : )

Four weeks to go now...getting closer!

Off to work on the rest of my jobs.

I hope you have a lovely day, thanks for stopping by.

Winner of My Christmas Candy

Hi Blogging Beauties,

How has your day been?

I have had a lovely day...home on my own...went for a walk, did some gardening and then have spent the rest of the day in my "still clean" craft room.  It has inspired me so much I have been creating like a machine!  I thought I should draw my Christmas candy today.  I am already thinking about my next candy!!!

So without further ado I used random.org and the lucky winner was...

Maxine D

Congratulations Maxine! I will be in touch with you to get your details : )

Thank you so much to the twenty people who entered my candy prize this time.

I really appreciate you popping over and leaving me a comment.

And I really appreciate your friendship.

While I am here I would like to share some cards I made just before Christmas.

They are all made using Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings paper pad and collectables.

They were quick and easy to make.

This was for my auntie Maureen - she loves angels.

This is the only one left in my stash...no home yet.

This one we gave to Ben's Nan for her b''day.

This one my Mum gave to my auntie Maureen.

Well I am off to go blog hopping and see what you have all been up to.

Enjoy your Friday evening and take care,

My October Candy Winner!!!

Hi Blogging Beauties,

It is hard to believe we are almost half-way through November already!!

Where do the days and weeks go??

This weekend flew by for me.  I sweated it out at the markets on Saturday, caught up with my cousin for a cool drink to hear all about her recent overseas adventures and then went out for dinner with family to celebrate my brother-in-law's girlfriend's birthday! Phew!! I was exhausted.

Today I just took things a little easier.  I am fertilizing our lawn at the moment to encourage it to transform from crispy yellow weeds to green, lush lawn.  I am monitoring it closely.  We have a very large lawn...probably equivalent to four standard backyards so it is hard to keep it all looking good.  When I lived here as a kid we would run around bare foot all the time and rarely get a burr.  Nowadays Ben and I dont go barefoot on the lawn...way too painful!! Drought and renters have meant that the lawn has really lost its quality, however I am determined to get it back to what I can remember it as.  Apparently, with this lawn fertilizer you should see results in two days.  Thankfully we had 2ml of rain this afternoon so the lawn and my recently planted pumpkins will hopefully get a little kick start.  I just have to pray that the sheep arent keen on a little pumpkin snack!!

Oh and I am so excited to tell you that on Friday I made ten Chrissie cards for myself to send out at Christmas.  I am so very proud of myself as I have never sent out a bulk load of hand made Chrissie cards before...I know, you are shocked...but it always seemed too hard.  But this year I am planing on sending out lots!!! Just need to make some more...they are a very simple design in red and white.  Will have to post photos later.

Anyway, you want to hear who the winner is dont you???

Well...the winner is....

Jessie

Congratulations!!! Jessie has been a follower of my blog for ages and she lives all the way over in Ireland.  So Jessie I will be in contact with you to get your address.

Thank you so much to everyone for entering.

I am getting some Christmas supplies together for my Nov/Dec candy.

I hope to post a photo this week.

Have a wonderful week everyone and take care.
