I am only a week late but here they are!!!!! The prizes for my 2nd Blogging Birthday Party - how that time has flown. And I have enjoyed so much being a blogger - all the wonderful friends I have made through blogging (in a way they are like my secret life!!!hehe!!!); the support I have received from all of my wonderful blog friends has been amazing also (that is personal and technical). I have taken part in a number of swaps and of course I am now addicted - they are such a wonderful and enjoyable part of my blogging. Craft/sewing blogs are not the only genre I follow in the blogging world - I follow quite a few in the gardening and sustainable living areas as well - from these I learn so much - new recipes, new gardening ideas and the list is never ending.
So, to say thank you to all of my blog friends I am having a 2 part give away. The first is for my CRAFTY/SEWING friends and followers (and anyone they would like to invite to participate as well). So here is what you need to do:
COMMENT on this post only telling me and everyone else who reads this post where you are from and what your favourite craft or style of sewing is. Easy peasy!!!. This part of the give away will run for one week. On the THURSDAY 15TH MAY 2014 at midnight (AEST). From all of the comments I will use random.org to draw 4 prize winners!!!
The 2nd part of my giveaway will run from midnight 15th May 2014 to midnight Thursday 21st May 2014 - it will be for anyone who loves gardening - all gardening things as prizes. There is no rule about being a follower (if you want to become a follower that would be lovely) - I just want to share my Blogging birthday with everyone!!!!
So for this weeks Give away prizes:

FOOTNOTE: we have brought our daughter Naomi and grand daughter home - she wanted to be with her family (her support team and network) and to be under the care of her long time Dr whom she has utmost trust and faith in. Her diagnosis is terminal liver cancer - aggressive. The time frame she has been given is relatively short - 2 months to 12 months. She is determined to fight it and we are in the process of getting referrals for more opinions from specialists in Sydney and Melbourne. As a family we are slowly coming to terms with the diagnosis and the huge changes to our lives in her fight to survive. We are taking it one step and one day at a time and are very fortunate that we have a strong support network here.
