........ yes, the moment has arrived, for the draw for the anniversary giveaway! So without further ado, Malcolm will you please draw the two winners ......
Our first winner, for the UK prize, is ........
the multi-talented Helen McCookerybook (artist, musician and prolific blogger .... oh, she also has a 'proper' job!)
and what, I hear you ask, has she won?
some beautiful pieces of silk, an 'orphan' ball of yarn, a selection of wooden beads, and a small pack of hand-dyed angora ... and that's not all! After taking the photo I added some extra goodies!!
The other winner, from overseas, is
Mattenylou from Massachusets - but in one of those funny little coincidences in life, her Granny was born in Hawick!
Her prize is ...
... a Thistle Stitchery Kit (designed by me!!), a kit to make a scissor keeper, some cute little buttons, one of the tags I made for the Tuesday Tutorial (very special, as it is made from the card Malcolm gave me!) and a gift bag (that I also showed you how to make). And, as with Helen, some more goodies sneaked onto the pile when I wasn't looking!
BUT ... that's not all ..... because (fanfare, roll of drums) this is post number 300!!! So I tipped all the names into one bowl .......
and I drew out ......
Cathy, who lives in Italy, and is a fabulous artist! As this was a last minute decision to have another prize winner, I don't actually know what her prize will be, but I am sure I will find something in the studio!
It has been wonderful to have so many people leave comments - not only from here at home, but from France, Holland, Italy, America, South Africa and Australia!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend - we are hoping that the thaw continues and that we will finally be able to go out in the new car!!
Love, Anne
