A Heartfelt Giveaway!

Hello friends
My week is ticking along nicely and I feel inclined to....
have a giveaway!

In light of Nikki's class on Sunday featuring Heartfelt Creations dies and stamps
how about I offer a brand new pack of Daisy Patch stamps...!
There are 5 stamps in the set, already mounted onto foam so you just pop 
them onto your acrylic blocks.
They also match perfectly with the Daisy Patch die listed here.
Daisies are such pretty happy flowers.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post and a name will 
be picked out at the weekend.  
I might reinstate Bella as an employee!

Talking of Bella, when the rain had stopped Elliott and I took her to
the woods and I photographed the path that leads to the farmer's lane.
I've been trying to capture this spot in all seasons.
Within the woods the snowdrops are nearly finishing but the bluebells are beginning
to sprout - I cannot wait for the carpet of blue.
This is the same spot last December - very soggy!
Bella blends in with the leaves.
I'm back tomorrow - don't forget to leave a comment today.
Take care friends.

    Morning Christine, what a difference a few months makes! Spring is definately on its way. I finished my storage caddy last night, it's not distressed, it's in need of counselling!, didn't realise until I'd put it all together and was adding the final touches that one of the drawer fronts had bowed whilst drying.......oh well, I love it, it looks great on my table, need to think what I'm going to store in it. Have a great Wednesday lynn xx

    What lovely stamps - winning a set would go a long way towards making up for not being able to get to your classes! Going back to the storage caddy, I'd been planning to store craft items in mine but I've been looking for a way to store my bracelet collection without having them gather dust on my dressing table, and I've just thought that if I line the drawers with foam to stop them sliding about the caddy will be perfect for the job.

    Hello Christine
    great to see the Spring is just around the corner photos, in your neck of the woods, although it's very soggy looking too. We need some sunshine and some daises to cheer things up, so these super, happy looking stamps just suffice.
    Glad to hear everything is looking more rosy again! x
    Thanks for the chance to win. x

    Spring is my very favourite season, after all the dark days of winter it revives the spirit to watch so many plants and bulbs start to grow and flower with the promise of summer to come.

    That's so generous of you and I love this happy flower. Always love to see your photos and the ones when you and Bella are out for your walks. Looking forward to seeing the same shot with a carpet of blue...so much better than the awful wet weather we have had. So glad too that Elliot is making progress and lastly I have been using my 'lovingly owned rectangle dies' this week to make masks, so thank you for giving us the opportunity to buy these dies off your site.

    Good Morning Christine,
    It's so amazing watching a spot/area season to season, even a few days at a time sometimes... we have noticed the same on our trail walk how the greenery has started and then with a sudden cold spurt everything went still and yesterday with the rain back it continues. The crocuses and snowdrops are all bloomed and gone and the bluebells are showing their colours right now... I love Spring!

    Thank you for the giveaway... Great daisies! Happy Elliot is making good progress. Happy Hump Day! :)

    Hello Christine,
    I do love to see the countryside in all of its glory, whatever the season there is inspiration,be it natures beautiful colour palette, which is so pretty at the moment withe the pops of bright yellow from daffodils against the remaining autumnal colours. Or the shapes of leaves, beautiful flower petals etc, I am disabled so it's an extra treat to get to see the gorgeous images, add the charm of gorgeous little Bella to the mix and you have an image that would make anyone smile, she is just adorable, so thank you Christine, for the beautiful photo xx
