Just to keep you in suspense (but also because I'm so proud of making a card whilst being really tired looking after a new puppy, getting up at 3am to take it into the [freezing cold] garden), here is a card I made for my nephew who lives in Hong Kong and will be 9 years old on Xmas Eve. Last international posting from the UK today so had to knock it up quickly last night, but I really like it! Maybe that's the trick - don't put too much thought into it!!
I poked two holes either side of the monster's hand to tie the black string to. I quite impressed myself with that one, LOL!! Goodness, need a full night's sleep...finding daft things funny...obviously delirious...
On to the blog candy! Today is the day to announce my first blog candy giveaway! But first, a big thank you to all of you who become 'followers' - now I don't look so sad! LOL! I think I've mentioned before that I don't actually have any crafty friends, well 'real' friends, because I've made lots of virtual blog friends since starting my blog - you lovely lot! Here is the prize...
Anyway, I don't know how to use that online random picker so my lovely hubby, Steve did the honours by picking one of your names out of a box - here he is in action....
And the winner is...
Well done Diana! Email me your address and I'll post it to you asap! However, all you other lovely ladies who joined in too, send me your addresses and I'll send you a [very] little something too!
