GIVEAWAY WINNER!

Hello all!

Sorry I didn't manage to post the winner yesterday, I think Sian's right, I am wearing myself in the run up to Christmas! I was very tired yesterday. Anyway, thanks again to all who commented on my Blogging Friendships Party Post (which can be seen here). It was really interesting seeing which fictional characters you'd all like to be. There's an interesting mix of superheroes, fantasy creatures, stars of kids cartoons, and book characters.

If anyone's wondering, I'd be a fairy. A scrapbook fairy to be precise. This kind of fairy is very small, and hides out in people's craft rooms. She makes her clothes from scrapbook stash, ties ribbons in her hair, and at night, when the unsuspecting crafter is asleep, she adds extra glitter to their projects or steals their supplies to make her own mini-books! These would be her wings:



These were made as examples to the children on our workshop called 'Funtastic Fairies', when 7-11 year olds come and make up their own original fairy, to make wings for and write a story about. We run this course a couple of times a year, it's always very popular. We ran it last weekend and have it again in a couple of weeks!

Anyway, on to the giveaway winner. Everyone who answered the question about which character they'd be was in for a chance to win these cards of my paintings:


Here's everyone's names printed and cut out:


Placed into a hat:


And then my daughter helped choose the winner (you can just scroll down if you don't want to watch the movie):


So there you go, the winner is:

Thanks for a lovely post, your cards are indeed fabulous.
I would be Marge Simpson, just for the hair! or the 'Snowman' as I would really love to go to that party! :)

busy, busy!

Hi all!



Sorry I've been AWOL for nearly two weeks. I've been busy running writing workshops for kids, and also spending some quality time with hubby and daughter, as hubby has had the week off work. It's been a bit wet weather-wise, so we haven't gone out much, but we did go swimming the other day. Here's little miss all bundled up after we got out of the pool:



A project I created for this week's Monday Challenge went live on the Fiskarettes blog too. Here's the earrings I made:

More info on these can be found here.

Now I'm off this afternoon to run another workshop all weekend. In case any of you didn't notice it before, there's still a couple of days to enter my giveaway here. You have until Sunday night 8pm GMT to answer the question - I'll announce the winner on Monday!

Hope you all have a great weekend! xx

mini-gloves

Wow, I was overwhelmed with all the blog love during and following the Celebrating Blogging Friends Party! Thanks so much to everyone who left comments, and to everyone who particpated, I had so much fun reading all the posts along the way.

I've finished the mini-gloves for my daughter, she's very happy with them!


These ones worked out a lot more similar in size than mine. Practice makes perfect, so I shall make another pair for me I think! Night night! xxx
