Echoes of Kindness GIVEAWAY!

Echoes of Kindness is definitely one of my favourite Stampin' Up! sets. It's so pretty and elegant, but surprisingly versatile, too. The long blossom can be used to create gorgeous backgrounds and borders which I just love. This stamp set is an exclusive Level 2 Hostess Set (only available to workshop hostesses who have sales of $600 or more) BUT...

I have one brand new Echoes Of Kindness Stamp Set to GIVE AWAY! That's right, one lucky winner is going to win themselves this gorgeous stamp set for FREE!

So, I know you're just dying to know how YOU can win, right? It's easy. To be in the running to win this set, you just have to be a fan of my Facebook page. Yep, nothing more to it than that. Already a fan? No worries, you're already in the draw and you don't need to do a thing. Not a fan, yet?

A Permanent Home at last!

It feels so good to be posting this message, announcing that I have finally arrived at my permanent blog home! This website has been in the planning stages for some months now, and it is truly exciting to see it come alive! I must send a huge THANK-YOU! shout out to that wonderful husband of mine, who has done literally hours and hours of background work to get the site looking as it does today. And isn't it wonderful?

 I feel the need to vent my excitement, so it's time for another GIVE-IT-AWAY day! Tomorrow is the day. Or, should I say today is the day, given that it is 3am! Yes, I am posting at 3am. Silly me fell asleep on the lounge at 9o'clock last night, woke at 1am and now I can't get back to sleep. I fear I will be tired tomorrow (/today). Anyway, check back here on Friday afternoon for full details on Give-It-Away Day!

Blog Candy -Gotta love it!

We all love Blog Candy, right? I'm trying to rationalise my scrap room into a functional space, so I'm cleaning out (slowly, but surely). It's time for me to part with my beloved Sizzix. I haven't used it for some time now, since I became the proud Mummy of Jovi (the Cuttlebug), so it really makes sense for me to move it on. So, yep, you read right, today's Blog Candy is a Sizzix Machine, with converter and brand new cutting plate. The BN cutting plate is still in its packaging, so you're effectively getting a brand new Sizzix Machine. It will arrive on your doorstep in its original packaging, with the new plate and converter.

To enter in the draw for this fabbo prize, simply leave me a comment here AND sign up for my free monthly newsletter (sign up box in right hand sidebar). Open to Australian residents only. Prize will be drawn using random.org.

Edited To Add: Oops! Forgot to put a closing date on this! Entries open until September 15th. Prize will be drawn and sent in the following week. Winner will be notified via email and posted here on the blog. Thanks for looking!
