Friday 3 May 2013

Something for the weekend . . .

It's Friday {and the start of a long weekend here in the UK},
 the sun is shining,
 the birds are chirping, 
 the temps are on the way up, 
 and my little blog has reached the 200 followers milestone . . .

. . . just the perfect excuse for a wee giveaway, don't you think ? 


Firstly a BIG thanks to all you lovely peeps who follow along on my little crafty adventures.  
Your sweet comments delight and encourage me, and in turn, all your lovely blogs inspire me to greater crafty heights : -)


Right, so, how would you like to add one of these lovely books* to your shelf ?

First up,
one for all you crocheters out there . . .

Hip Crochet
by Natalie Clegg

 ". . .includes fun crochet projects to give your home a touch of colour, with patterns to suit all tastes and levels of ability. "

 and

a little crocheted hook holder 
 {just like this one that I posted about here } which I'll make especially for the lucky winner in the colour of your choice.



This book is filled with some really fun & fab projects . . .


OR

if you're not much into crochet, then how about this lot ?

Blogging for Bliss 
- Crafting Your Own Online Journal
{ A Guide for Crafters, Artists & Creatives of All Kinds }
by Tara Frey

It's full of lots of hints & tips and all sorts of bloggy ideas & inspiration, and showcases some beautiful pics and lovely blogs.


". . . offers encouraging advice and solid how-to information on creating an inventive blog that reflects your unique style."


and two fun little WI books that offer all sorts of practical know-how regarding the wardrobe and the garden.  At the very least they will give you a giggle : -)

* * * * * * *

So, if you'd like to participate in my little holiday weekend giveaway, all you need to do is:
  • already be a follower, or follow my blog, either with GFC or Bloglovin' {both links are to be found in the column to the right}; and
  •  leave me a comment on this post, and mention which one of the giveaways you'd like - crochet or blog book. 
It's that simple  !

Entries will close after the Bank Holiday weekend, let's say 08h00 {GMT} on Tuesday morning,
 7th May 2013, and I'll announce the lucky winners a.s.a.p thereafter.

Good luck . . . and I hope you have a happy, sunshiney weekend.

xoxo
