On April fifth my humble little blog was seven years old. Seven years of sharing the ups and downs of life, the growth of my family from two grandchildren to seven not to mention a house move and the demise of two pets.
So by way of celebration I am planning on running a series of competitions. Some of the prizes I am providing myself and some have generously been donated by various companies. So I have ten prizes so will run one every third days to spread them out over the month.
Today's giveaway is from Hama Beads. We are lovers of Hama Beads and have been using them for a number of years now.
Fifi has made some great basic items
a butterfly |
tree and parrot |
a unicorn mounted on hardboard, pearlescent card and edged with sticky ribbon. |
