Someone else's creativity

I love it when people do giveaways and tutorials. I've toyed with doing a giveaway myself but am never entirely convinced that there are many more people than myself, my sister (hi Clare) and husband (hi Mr T) that make up my blogger stats (outside of the lovely link up party peops), so it would be a rather nepotistic exercise! lol! Saying that, I was the lucky winner of a giveaway a year or two ago and it feels lovely to receive a little gift in the post for no reason in particular, so I really will consider it! Maybe something from my Chinese stash...

Anyway, coming to the main point of this ramble... I am writing to say 'look what I got given (well took with permission) this week!': these lovely little linky buttons in an array of gorgeous sweet shop colours from Anyonita Nibbles blog. Isn't she clever!

I've had a quick lunchtime tinker with them to get them up and working, but I've had to use separate gadgets for each one to get them to display properly. Frustratingly I cant get the icons/links to do anything other than sit in very dull vertical line! Humphh!!!

I would love to put more links in and made better use of Anytonita's work, but I fear that the links would end up extending the whole way down the blog and that would bug me no end. It already does a little with just three up there...but they are so pretty that they are staying at least for now!

Does anyone (if people apart from Clare [not saying that you wouldn't know Clare, but I'm thinking chances are slim!] does read) have any idea of how to get around this?

Very Belated Thanks

About a month or so ago (possibly longer) I was the lucky recipient of a fab giveaway. I am deeply ashamed to say that in my blogging funk I didn’t blog about (sorry sue!).

So, very belatedly, but with the same amount of excitement as when I first recieved it,  here's what I won... this awesome selvedge cuff made by Sue at Laniappe!

 

Cute isnt it! My favourite side is the one shown below with all the pinks. You can even read ‘yummy cupcakes’ on one bit. I bet that print rocked!

Plus it came wrapped with a little note on some very cute button writing paper!

If you are inspired by the cuff (and why wouldnt you be), take a look at the entire chair that Sue covered in selvedge. Its awesome!

Anyway thanks again Sue. I love it!

Look at what I got!

For someone who never wins anything, I have had a very lucky week and am due to be the recipient of not one, but two giveaways!  The first treat came through my door this morning…

Isnt it pretty!

Feildy (who makes all kinds of scrumptious things) was having a giveaway and I was the lucky recipient of this beautiful mirror. I even got to choose the fabric. It will be a really lovely addition to my bag and I can see it becoming a frequent travelling companion. Thank you Suzanne!

As my karma is so good this week, I'm just off out to buy a lottery ticket! :-)
