500th Blog-post & Giveaway Today!

Well, I never thought I would get this far when I started blogging just under 2 years ago. I have met so many nice people in this time, made a lot of friends, exchanged art, cards, postcards etc with people all over the world, and enjoy being part of the blogger family. Thanks to all those who have visited, written words of encouragement, cheered me up when I was down and just been there. It means a lot to me.

So, to celebrate I want to do a little Giveaway. It is open to all members of blog, and to those who join! and all you have to do is to leave a comment on this post. Tomorrow morning I will put all the names into a hat, and and one will be randomly chosen. Please tell me how to contact you if I don't yet have your contact details! The winner will receive 3 tags and a mini book made by me, some ephemera and other crafty bits and bobs, all packed in a mail-art envelope.

Today I had a nice, crafty day at home, made my journal pages & a tag, and some other things which I don't want to show yet.

For the journal pages I started off with different colour mists, home made using re-inker and a touch of perfect pearls. Then I rubbed a bit of ink direct from the ink pad here and there.

Then I put the pictures onto the page, as at this time of year, especially when it's windy there are always lots of people - adults and kids - flying their kites. I often tried, but mine never started flying, there must be a trick to it, but I never got it!

The tag has been made for *Dragon's Dream TIO*. Poor Frankie - the dragon boss - is having a rough time with injuries and illness in her family, so get well soon Frankie, and lots of hugs and sparkles coming your way. The challenge was to show the full moon!

So, that was all for today. You have until tomorrow morning when I roll out of bed to add a comment and join in the Giveaway, that will be about 9 a.m. German time.

Have a great day, take care, and thanks for being with me over such a long time!
