MINI BIRTHDAY CANDY DRAW......
As some of you know my birthday is on the 12th of December so to celebrate I thought I would do my very first candy draw. I have put together a small selection of goodies including Antia's dimensions, Antia's glitterations,a papermania stamp duo, a few Forever Friends goodies, some of my favouite Tilda stamped images, a handmade (by me) calendar and some heart gems.
If you would like to be added to my draw just add your comment to this post you have until the 12th and I will pick a winner on the 13th. UK ONLY SO I CAN POST BEFORE CHRISTMAS SORRY.
In the new year I plan to do a larger draw as a big thank you to everyone who has visited my blog so keep your eyes open for that.
Thanks again to everyone for all the comments you have left me and heres to another year of blog hopping!!!! If you would like to link my candy to your blog that would be nice but please don't feel you have too.
