BLOG HOP GIVEAWAY.

Hi! Well the blog hop was a great success and we have a lot of lovely new members on Our Craft Forum. The winner of my giveaway, Clare of Clares Craftroom has chosen the FQ and surprises.
I have several new followers all thanks to the blog hop so I decided to have a draw of just my followers there are really 37 but as my daughter does not do crafts (just wants to know what DM is up to, hehe) I drew from 36 and would you believe it was a low number again? here it is, I wrote them down as they appeared on the followers pics on my sidebar :)

BLOG HOP IS OVER AND A WINNER.

Hi Everyone! Thank you for all the lovely comments, and also my new followers. It has been a wonderful experience, being part of this blog hop. I am fairly new to the blogging world, and I have learnt a lot in the past few days. A big thank you to Gail ( miss-nance) for organizing everything, stay tuned, there is talk of it becoming an annual event. :)
It is the wee small hours here, but I decided to do the draw for my giveaway as I need to go out early in the morning.
I would like to let you know that I have read every comment, and even if you didn't leave a separate comment to let me know you joined the forum, as long as you mentioned it in the single comment, you have been given an extra entry. They are numbered in order of being received, and I noticed that a couple of you thought you were first to comment, but that was only because the comments were waiting moderation before they appeared on my blog page.
I don't know how to put the random number generator on this post, so I used another site for the random draw that I am hoping I can copy and paste here, so here goes:- there were 75 entries.

I have a little hint to share with you, it is not my own idea, I have read it somewhere recently but can't remember where otherwise I would give credit to the person who posted it.

A temporary design wall can be made by attaching a flannel backed tablecloth to a door ( flannel side out) -I have not tried this yet but it sounds a good idea.

I am offering a giveaway on my blog. The winner will have a choice of a panel called ' Tea for Two" by Yuko Hasegawa for RJR fabrics,

there are 8 separate cushion sized prints all different featuring, tea cups, mugs, glasses etc. would make great placemats, runner, little hanging etc, OR a choice of a surprise pack which would include a pretty FQ and ? and some? and perhaps a ?.

The winner can let me know what they would prefer. Please do not comment BEFORE midday today, as only the comments after that time will go in the draw.

If you join the craft forum and let me know I will give you an extra entry, please make sure I am able to contact you.
