Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

So the first Friday Freebie has been done successfully and 72 of you want the box kit. And believe me if I had 72 of them I would happily send them out to you. But I only have two. 

Thank you for obliging me by adding your full name as that makes it much easier, especially if there are two, three or even four people with the same first name.

The draw has been done for the two prizes that I have and the names are ...

Gilly Hubbard

Sheila Price

Would you both email me your postal address please to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and the prize will be on its way to you.

If you could let me know when you have it safety that would be great

Enjoy

More tomorrow...

Friday Freebie - CMM Box Kit 3

Hi Everybody,

Happy New Year and Welcome to my blog.

If you are new then I hope you will come back and visit again and don't forget to leave your comments please so that I know you have been. 

If you are a regular visitor then it's good to have you here today and I hope that you too will be back to visit again.

To start the New Year off I have, not one but TWO copies of the box kit from 

Card Making Magic and this is Issue 3. 

 Inside you will find the magazine with lots of ideas for you to try. 

There are stamps, dies, embossing folder and a lovely paper pack for you to get crafting straight away.

You don't need to have a blog of your own.

It doesn't matter where you live I am happy to send the prize to you at my expense.

Even if you have won one before you can still enter every week.

If you want to participate in trying to win one of these packs then the rules are quite simple ...

1. Leave me your comment  and add your FULL NAME

2. Come back and check if your name is shown as the winner

From those comments one will be chosen as the winner and it will be added to a blog post over the weekend. You need to leave your full name because there maybe several people with the same first name and the full name is the only way to get the correct winner. 

Those are the only rules so no full name, then no entry, and if you don't come back and check for your name then after 72 hours the prize is gone.

Please don't add your personal details to the blog as anyone can see them. if you are the winner then you will need to email me christina@card-making-magic.com.

More tomorrow ...

Boring Cream Lamp ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a lamp that sits in my hall way and it was one that I have had for years. 

It was just a plain cream one with gold calligraphy on a cream shade. 

So I decided to give it a new lease of life with a can of gold spray paint, some glitter and a little bit of  gold flower wrap.

I was very pleased that the gold writing showed up on the shade and it makes for a very pleasing result.

I sprayed the gold flowers wrap with the same can and that just blended all the shades of gold together and looked much better.

It now sits back in the hall and it is on a timer so that it lights up the room and I don't come in to a dark house ... which I hate doing.

More tomorrow ...

Sweater Story ...

Hello Everyone,

It's me Ruby and I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year for 2020.

I am wearing my new Christmas sweater here and it keeps me really cozy when I go out.

My mum was mad at me the other day when we went for a walk because I decided to go for an unexpected swim in ... my new sweater.

The water wasn't the cleanest and I came out covered in mud and ... my new sweater

And I didn't smell the nicest either ... nor did ... my new sweater.

My mum was not best pleased with me but I, and my sweater, scrubbed up well, so nothing was lost in the end. She said the water was that dirty when she bathed me it was like  mud soup and it took ages to get me clean again.

But after  my mum had given me a nice warm bath,  dried me with the hair dryer and I had eaten my dinner I got the biggest cuddle while we sat on the sofa and I fell asleep on my mums lap.

So until my next adventure take care everyone and have a Good New Year

Much Love

Ruby xxx
