A post about Giveaways

* Giveaway now Closed *

Thank you all so much with your comments on my last post about my little stall. It's most appreciated.

Well this little post is about giveaways. As I mentioned before I was having a giveaway for everyone that had participated in my Just Because Your Lovely swap. Packages are being sent out and some have already received :) I hope to post photos sometime.

This is what I was giving away. I love Compendium and their journals are some of my favourites.


Anyway, I put all the names in a little jar and have pulled out the winner. 


This particular journal has quotes on every page. Good for inspiration.


The jar of names.


And the winner is Diana of Onecraftyfox!
I will be sending out the journal very soon!



Anyway, this is my giveaway for everyone else. I was supposed to post this ages ago when I first reached 200 followers. So this is what I'm giving away...


It's a gratitude journal and pen from Kikki.K (another shop I love).

This is an idea of what's inside the journal. It has ideas and each day you can list what you are grateful for. I think all these giveaways have a common theme :)

I'm also adding in some mini notecards and some earrings that I've made to celebrate the reopening of my Etsy shop.

Thank you so much for following my blog! It made me very happy. And I really would like to participate in your giveaway, I thought of a journal in which I would write impossible things. But a journal of meing grateful is also something very positive. What I am grateful for most right now:
1. a future with my boyfriend that I can almost see on the horizon
2. a crazy cat that is now eating the cover of a magazine I just bought
3. my family that makes me who I am every day

Oh, I would love to have a gratitude journal. It'd be so perfect for me to write my 3BT in each day...

Three things I'm grateful for right now:
1. A misty almost-autumn morning and a hot cup of tea. (I just went back to work yesterday, and now it's my day off! am enjoying a bit of down-time this morning)
2. Our comfy home in Canada (I loved London, but it's so good to be back home)
3. My new teaching position! I've gone from a bit of library/a lot of Gr.6 science to a lot of library and a whole day each week teaching Grade 1!!! Hurrah!

Oh, and one more thing? Blog friends. They really are great!

Thank you for a lovely blog and fun giveaways. Always a joy to drop by.

I'm grateful for my funny, loving, silly teenagers and the fact they still like to spend time with me!

I'm also grateful for crisp, cool autumn weather - it's teasing us and I can't wait for the arrival of autumn.
