I would never have guessed, when I started this little craft blog, that it would one day have 500 followers. I'm so pleased to be able to share this space with you. To be a part of this community. To be able to document and share the things I've made, moments from our days and my growing children. (And a photo of myself from the weekend, at a children's party, holding a crocodile!)
To say thank you lovely readers I'm giving away a set of beads from my shop. To enter you need to be a follower and leave a comment below letting me know which beads you would choose if you won. I will draw a winner on Saturday, 19 January. Open internationally.
Best of luck and many thanks!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 500 Christina! And what a photo! Not many of us could say we have held a crocodile. I just took a peek at your beads, and went for the ones that were the complete opposite that I made, the set in the grey. I had memorized the name but it escapes me now :) Thank you for the giveaway!
