Winner and Spiders!

Hello friends

Today announcing the winner of September's Charity Kit!
Rush and check your tickets - the winning number is ....


If you are the lucky winner - congratulations! 
Please drop me an email - hope-chances@live.co.uk
A parcel of goodies will be sent out including dies, stamps, adhesive and more!
There are still some September kits left just in case you would like to purchase,
details are here :)

So...spiders!?  
Kitty asked yesterday whether the cabin might be a haven for spiders...
well I'm pretty sure it is going to be spider free, all the windows and the door are double glazed,
 but just in case one or more decide to join me I truly do not mind, 
I'm not at all scared of spiders.
If it were frogs...you wouldn't see me for dust!

In the midst of organising, sorting, packing and general manic(ness!) there are
some things that just cannot be ignored - Bella walking!
Yesterday morning the weather was lovely, in the woods the sun was shining 
through the branches creating a dappled effect, 
the paths are strewn with colourful leaves and conkers and,
Bella will testify to this - we espied 6 squirrels!
Bella-walking puts me in a happy mood and she's always delighted too!

Take care friends, I will be back soon...
(once I emerge from packing boxes!)

  1. Hi Christine and lovely family.
    I am so glad the spiders cannot get in.lol. I just do not like them they always pop out when you least expect them no warning thats the problem, I can catch them and put them out. Frogs don't come in. lol Have lots of fun and take care. Kitty.

  6. Hi
    A little tip I was given bearing in mind of the spiders, place a conker (I know sounds daft but try it)in corners of your cabin.
    You will be spider free.
    Loving your cabin

    Next door has a huge English walnut tree, now I get squirrels planting nut in my pots, and garden.In the Spring I get saplings everywhere! they are so big and strong I have to pull them up straight away before they take hold.
    Good news about Spiders !!!!

  12. I must be very rare in not minding spiders! But I'd much rather have spiders than flies, and without spiders ypu get a lot more flies.

    I think I'm one number away from the winning ticket, but I'm away from home at the moment and can't check, so for therest of the week I'll be wondering if I've misremembered and looking forward to checking when I get home

  14. Morning Christine,
    I don't mind spiders but a snake that's a different thing, just don't like the way they slither.
    Bet it was lovely walking Bella in such lovely weather yesterday, going to be bad today, the wind is already picking up.
    Hope the moving of packing cases is going okay.

  15. Morning Christine, Congratulations to the lucky Winner, enjoy your goodies.
    The piccie of Bella's walk is really beautiful, very surreal and magical, I love it.
    I don't mind spiders at all, and where I live (by a Moss) they grow very, very big !!! my Lizzie (kitty) is always curious if they emerge from underneath furniture, I always shooo them back haha.
    Enjoy your day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  16. Hello Christine, glad to see you are having to have nature breaks with Bella, it really helps to balance the days, and get some sunshine as we are going to see less of them when the clocks change at the weekend.

  20. I'm not a fan of any creepy-crawly, but as long as I have my trusty jam jar and piece of card I'll survive! Looks like a lovely walk in the woods and still very green. Just noticed that we now have to prove we're not robots before commenting.

  21. Congrats to the winner! I said yesterday I don't get many visits form spiders in my little cabin, which is fortunate as I really don't like them, but lol, I love frogs and I have actually had a toad on the porch once or twice recently: it likes to hide under a plant pot there!
