Hey there everyone… My lovely followers who have got me to this point! I said I would do a giveaway when I got to 50 WordPress followers, and here we are. I never started blogging in order to get loads of followers, but I’ll admit it’s exciting every time I see that someone else has signed up to follow my blog. I’d had an idea that I wanted to do a giveaway, and 50 followers seemed liked a good reason to celebrate!
So here it is… A giveaway of some of the little things I’ve made, with 3 prizes.
First prize is:
A flamingo card and envelope, a sloth keyring, a crochet may rose and a pinky-red flower button ring.
Second prize is:
A flowery card, a puff stitch flower, and a dark blue flower ring.
Third prize is :
My first ever paper cut on a card and a rainbow coloured flower button ring.
I had fun making some of these prizes this morning while listening to cds of some of the bands I got into at chagstock, the music festival we went to in Devon last weekend. In case you fancy checking any of them out they are :
Raghu dixit– Indian guys playing seriously cool, beaty Indian music
Mr tea and the minions – a band from Bristol with a very cool female singer, playing bouncy music with balkan gypsy influence.
Skinny lister – another British band playing rocky folk music and sea shanties… They were the only band I’ve ever seen to have a head-banging accordion player and a double bass player playing it while holding it up on his shoulder!
Echo town – 2 brothers who play music that I’m not sure how to describe but which includes harmonica (lush!) , slide guitar (awesome!) didgeridoo (so cool!) and other instruments. They have very cool lyrics including “fighting fire with fire only makes things burn… You can’t solve problems with war and hate coz the more you destroy the less you create” (seems appropriate for a creative blog!)
So, plug of my new favourite bands over… Here are the rules for the giveaway. If you’d like a chance to win one of the prizes then just leave a comment on this blog post. If you’re not sure how to do that then feel free to email me /text me and I’ll add your name to the hat. And I genuinely will use a hat… put all the names in it and pull 3 out. First out will get first prize and so on. The giveaway is open to anyone from any country.
You have until saturday 12th August to register your interest and i shall do the draw at midday UK time that day.
Ooh I’m so excited! Hope you are too! 🤣

Please place me in your hat. At my rate, I might reach 50 followers by 2050. I’ll probably give away jet packs.

Count me in on your giveaway. Mark said ‘or a fusion reactor’ but I don’t know what that is so I’d rather have the jet packs!

Thank you. I wanted to make a few more things before starting the giveaway and I had fun making the sloth, the may rose and the rings (the lady in the shop gave me the buttons for free when I bought a tunic) this morning (though I was really meant to be reading a French book ready for book club on Tuesday evening!). Once I put them all together I realised they ended up accidentally colour coordinated, and would be fun things to win.
