... Cor blimey and thrice... I have just noticed that I have nearly 800 followers on my blog... so... I thought... how about a nice little giveaway to celebrate this mammoth milestone! I have searched for the "name" of 800... you know, like 8 is an octet and 80 is an octogenarian... but have come up with nothing... so.. I thought I would invent the word instead... so this candy is to celebrate my Octocentarian followers :O)) *don't worry if it doesn't make sense, it hardly ever does for me lol*
That there is a piccie of the candy that will be up for grabs for one randomly selected commenter... and the candy comprises of:
Distress Stains: Forest Moss, Spun Sugar & Weathered Wood
Distress Ink: Forest Moss & Walnut Stain
Adirondack Pigment Ink - Red Pepper
Adirondack Dabbers: Terracotta & Eggplant
A Rub It, Scrub It Pad
A bottle of Ranger Stamp Cleaner
Perfect Pearls Mists - Interference Red
Ranger Stickles: Tropical Tangerine, Mystic Green, Firefly & Glam Pink
Mini Papier Mache Valise
Mini Papier Mache Secret Book Box
4 x 4" square frame
Maya Road: Birdy Keychain, Mini Concertina Book & Fancy Edged Chipboard Book
Chalk White Seam Binding
and.... A tag, made by me :O)
So... to be in with a chance of winning this candy, here are the rules:
Click to Follow me if you don't already
Leave a comment for me on this post (letting me know if you are a follower already or have just become a follower)
Put the piccie in your blog sidebar with a link back to this post
The winner will be drawn at random, using Random.org, and announced on Monday September 26th 2011.
That's all from me for today.. busy, busy with DT projects and such stuff... .so I am off to get inky! Thanks for looking... TTFN
