giveaway ..... better late than never



Hello there
I hope you had a wonderful weekend

Well, I have ever-so-nearly caught up with all of my shop orders
just one last advent which I am making today
ahhhhh ....... I feel much less frantic now
It really took me by surprise
a nice surprise


Anyway
WELCOME ..... to my celebration giveaway post
:o)

Waaaay back in the summer (at least I think it was summer)
the lovely Mollie makes peeps
 asked me if they could feature a couple of my makings 
in a Christmas publication




these ones in fact



Well .... to say I was excited was an understatement
yes yes yes yes yes
I thought they were destined to be in their fabulous magazine
but it turned out that they would be in their
gorgeous
and VERY exciting indeed


I went to Kew gardens last weekend




and there, in the shop, was guess which book?
I showed my sister-in-law
she was impressed
and I felt just a teeny bit famous!


I was very kindly sent a copy of the book by the publisher
 (there are so many beautiful Christmas projects in there)
but, because I am an impatient girl, I had already bought one
so, I happen to have a spare
which is what I am offering in my giveaway
along with my very last Christmas birdie of 2012
Master Wally Winterbird






So if you would like to win both the book and Master Winterbird
here's what you need to do .....



♥  For one entry  ♥ 

It would be wonderful if you could become a follower
 of my blog, unless of course, you are already
 (you can do this by clicking on the 'join this site' button on my sidebar)
 then just leave me a comment on this post


♥  For a second entry ♥

kindly mention this giveaway on your blog or facebook page with a link 
and then just leave me a separate comment on this post 
telling me you have done so
The giveaway will be open for one week
until the evening of the 26th November to be precise
I will post anywhere in the whole wide world
 so don't be shy

 GOOD LUCK!
 

I shall be coming to visit later this week
I have missed you all
I am keen to know what's been happening in blogland
I feel somewhat disconnected

 have a great week
BIG love 
j x



P.S
I have been lucky enough to have been featured in a few publications now
so I have decided to make a new tab (along the top bar ↑)
I'm not good at talking about such things
 they make me blush and go all silly
 so all the info will just appear one day soon


Thank you to everyone who entered
the giveaway is now closed
