Happy Birthday To Me & A Present For You!


EDITED TO ADD THE WINNER OF THE RANDOM DRAW

DRUM ROLL

THAT'S YOU WENDY!

 I'll get the voucher bought and emailed over and if you let me have your address
 I'll post the paper and pearls ASAP

If you email me HERE thank you Hunny


Well hello strangers!! I have been away sooooooooo long I'm missing everything about blogging, all my lovely friends out there and most of all creating, as there has been no time for that either.
It's been a little crazy at the Seaside this August but as the children head back to school in the UK in a couple of weeks I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

It's my birthday today - I can't believe I'm 51 now!! And as I have been promising for so long I have a sweet little birthday candy for you, but first I have a bit of 'housework' to do on my blog!!

I didn't get time to join in with the new challenge this week at
 which is 'Paper Piecing' chosen by my lovely Janice but you lot can!  Follow the link to play along.

Secondly there is a brand new challenge blog on the block
I was lucky enough to be chosen for the DT along with a great bunch of talented crafters.
I met Mandy & Mandy earlier in the year when Pam and I went up north to visit Lisa and we are going back in October for a 'Blog Girls Day' and to visit the Harrogate show
If anyone is going on the Sunday and wants to meet up leave me a comment I'd love to meet you all!
So lovely people I need you all to head over to http://heckofachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ and join us, the first challenge is on the 1st of September (I hope I get time to make something!)

Now the bit you've waded through my drivel to get to!
I was lucky enough to receive one of these Saturated Canary vouchers from my lovely friend Debs (I've been waiting for the new release today to spend mine!) and in my excitement to get the Maya paper pad I bought 2! I can't seem to make a card without pearls either so my 'Birthday Candy' for one lucky follower chosen at random is

A $20 Saturated Canary Voucher
A 60 page Maya 6x6 Paper Pad (stunning!!)
A Pack of WOC Flat Back Adhesive Pearls in Brown Tones
and (not pictured) a Ribbon Girl Pearl Swirl Flourish.

This candy is for follwers only!!
Those that joined and then left after my last candy needn't apply!!

The usual rules
  1. Become a follower if not already
  2. Post a photo of my candy in your blog sidebar with link back to here
  3. Leave your name with the linky below.
Please  also leave a comment in case the linky goes AWOL as I don't want anyone to miss out!
      This candy will remain open for 1 month until 30th September

Thanks again for sticking with me in my absence!
Love 'n' Hugs and Good Luck
 Laurie xx

Happy Belated Birthday Laurie I am so sorry I missed it. I am so behind with blogging and unfortunately my only excuse is that my hubby is ill and well enough said really! It is worse than having all four of children ill at once when they were young lol. I shouldn't be cruel he has been ill for over 4 weeks now and just so fed up with it.

Jill said...

To one of the sweetest girls in blogland!!
A way to late HAPPY BIRTHDAY Laurie!!
I am so sorry for not making it in time for your day this year my sweet sweet friend!
I have been so busy and I even told my sister that I can't send Laurie a card yet, because I have to make a perfect one...
And now you haven't got ANY!!!
But just wait sweetie, I will make it sooner or later :)
I hope you had a wonderful day and I really hope your work will be less stressful soon :)
My kids loooooooved the candy you sent... I gave a shrimp to Sebastian and when I told he what it was he spit it right out again and said: I hate shrimps and I thought it was candy!!! I almost peed my pants seing the look on his face!
But when he found out it WAS candy I had a hard time hiding them...
OK my friend, long comment, sorry for that! Hope you are ok and I will send your card when I have made that perfect Laurie card :)
Thanks for all the wonderful gifts and the amazing card, love it and will treasure it for life.
Hugs and love

Happy Belated Birthday! It's crazy how fast the years fly by. I know I just had my own birthday and hate even thinking about it LOL I hope you had a great day. Thanks for have your blog candy giveaway.
I'm more of a layout girl, but one of these days when cards stop intimidating me I'll dip my toes in the card waters. lol I see how beautiful they are and I'm just not sure I can do it. PLUS the coloring... geesh.. I don't remember coloring being so hard!! I have copics and Ya alot harder than I remember!...
Again. Thanks for sharing your birthday with us.
