Yesterday was sooooooooooooooooo hot I was not able to do anything. I don't mind it being warm outside, but when it is so warm in my apartment I do not feel so happy, and have problems with breathing, so I had a really quiet day, busy doing nothing except for reading and snoozing.
I wanted to do a Giveaway when I got to 100000 clicks, but I saw that I must have missed it, as I now am well over the mark. The counter is between paper-craft pleasures and creative swaps, not the one on the globe at the top, which I added about half way through my blog-time. This is also post 777, so that's a good number, too.
Yesterday I showed you a large, altered matchbox. If you want to see the other pics you can do so here

I have filled the matchbox with lots of pretty things, and will be adding the little Paris mini-book I made last week, too. And a few other bits and bobs and some recent tags. If you would like to take part, just leave a comment, and I will choose a name out of the hat on Thursday morning.
That's all for today, take care, and thanks for coming by!
Lovely idea, please count me in your drawing for the giveaway! Keep cool, and take it ease as long as it stays so hot! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteYes, please put me in the hat!
ReplyDeleteIt's dull and overcast here today but it it still hot and unpleasantly sticky.
Hope you've cooled down a bit!
