Ooh, I've wanted to do a Giveaway for a while. And I've just discovered this is going to be my 200th post, so I've decided to host a Giveaway for the not-very-many people who read this blog. As you probably know, and will see below, I do enjoy creating cards and paper crafts. So for my Giveaway, I will make you a bookmark, with a quotation of your choice, and also throw in a pack of 5 of my handmade cards. I will make them without messages, but if you want, I can add a "Happy Birthday" or any other greeting of your choice. And if you're a Vintage collector/altered art creator, and would like it, I have a 1924 copy of "Mode Practique" full of up-to-date hints about fashion, and advertisements which I will add to the Giveaway goodies. My camera battery has died, but I'll try and remember to post some photos of the magazine when I've recharged the battery.
All you need do is leave me a comment. No faffing with following me/tweeting/liking on Facebook or anything else. Just say hello. Let me know I'm not speaking to myself!!! The Giveaway will close in a week's time.
Now, if you're my Mother In Law you may not want to read further until after your birthday. If you do, on your own head be it!

OK, so this afternoon I've been making cards. I made two!!! I was really lacking in inspiration for ages, and surfed various sites, but nothing really inspired me. Finally I found a picture that I'd saved from an old card, and went from there.
It's MiL's §§§th birthday, and so I thought I should make an effort to make a special card. Here we are:
It's got a double fold, so inside one fold I calligraphed:
And here it is, standing up
I also made a card for Alison's birthday on Thursday. We're going up there for drinks on Wednesday: I'm making hummus to take. Yum.
But what I don't understand is how on earth my desk/study got into such a mess just creating two cards!!!
..and how the heck do I manage to create anything in that mess!!!
I hope to hear from you!
