...COR Blimey and THRICE! Guess what??? Today is my 5th Bloggy Birthday! That is one serious amount of waffling... I just had a quick look and this is my 1,431st post. Now, when I first started up my blog I had no idea of the opportunities it would bring, of the cameraderie of Blog Land, of the amount of friends I would make... not to mention the stack of inspiration that I would find out here in the Blogasphere. I have had a rummage through the archives and have found my very first crafty post - this is a little mini book I made for Grim, I had really only just started to use Distress Ink, and it shows lol HERE is the link to that post. Anyways, to celebrate my 5th birthday I am offering up some candy for one randomly chosen commenter on this post. That is all you need to do; leave me a comment and it would be very nice if you could grab the piccie and pop it into your sidebar to let all your followers know about it. 
Speaking of followers: WOW and THRICE WOW... I have to say, my smack is thoroughly gobbed, each and every one of you who has clicked to follow my blog has brought a smile to my face and a happy feeling to my heart. I guess I had better tell you what is in the candy! I have put together some of my favourite Art Part packs for you: Arched Frames, Large Circle & Square Frames and Scallop Trim.... and I have also popped yesterdays tag into the goody bag too :O)) Remember, all you need to do is simply leave a comment. The winner will be announced next Friday, 14st September 2012.
Right, I shall away, I am up to my elbows in prep for my upcoming classes at Birds In The Barn this weekend.... can't wait for these classes, they are going to be F.U.N! Thanks for looking... and also for all your lovely comments over the years too *wipes away a tear* TTFN!
