50th post take 2 :D ~ Give Away ~

I am so sorry that I never got around to posting pics of the cards I was going to make, actually I never got around to making them. Life has been busy and things kept popping up and I was sick with the flu, so I am going to redo the 50th post give away.


Instead of making some cards I have put together 3 lovely cards/postcards. The roses card is just lovely and is one of Gail McCormack's I just love all her work my fave is her range of tea cup paintings.

The second post card is from
Natasha Burns, I love these postcards the dresses are so pretty, and last but not least a tag taken from a vintage picture.


To enter all you have to do is leave a comment on this post (all comments on the last post will be entered so if you were one of the 9 who left a comment on the last post and then leave one on this post you will get two entries) I will draw this on Sunday. Really I will :D

Remember when I did up my bedroom (click here to see the makeover post) I still have a few things to do to finish it but last week I got a new comforter for the bed from the wonderful Mandii, click here to check out her eBay auctions I love what she lists.

The bedspread has made such a huge difference it has tied in all the colours in the room and really pulled it all together. I just need to get a few new pillow cases and cushions to finish it.

A close up of the cover, so pretty.

Works so much better with the white bed. Before I had a brown doona cover with lace over the top. Now all I have to do is work on the lamps and do some tweaking and then it will be finished.


It has been so cold and windy/rainy the last few days and the fog has been so thick. I took these photos this morning and when I went out a few minutes ago it has gotten even worse I can't see across the street now. Brrrrrr and it is supposed to be Spring nearly summer.


I am going to make chicken pot pie and a hot dessert for dinner tonight to warm us up. (one good thing about the cold I get chicken pot pie) I love chicken pot pie and will drop some over to my friend who just had a baby.

Last weekend my little girl danced in the ballet the 12 Dancing Princesses she was one of the night angles who protected the princesses. They preformed at the Empire Theater and it was such a lovely production I was so proud of my ballerina she danced so well.

Hey Bek! Wasn't it FOGGY here today!! The drive out to Highfields to work was rather nerve-wracking! Not to mention I kept wanting to admire the big trees out there cloaked in the faerie mist! Not a good idea when driving! Tee! Hee! Hee! Your bedroom's coming up a treat - isn't it the best feeling when you find JUST what you've been looking for! Hope you're enjoying the rain - I am and so it my garden - Bear Hugs! KRIS

Hi Bek,
I love your new quilt cover, I am on the search for one to go on our new bed, but am finding it quite challenging finding 'the one'!
Your daughter is so pretty, I bet she was proud as can be in her lovely dance outfit.
Your not wrong about life being rushed, not a day goes by that I feel like I need another pair of hands, a few more hours in the day or a few more hours sleep!!!
