We Have A Winner....

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment on the giveaway post, I wish you all could have won. Congratulations to the lovely Sheila over at Homemaking Heaven A really pretty homely blog. Sheila has lots to offer on homemaking and much much more. Please do say hello if you get a spare minute. Well done Sheila! Enjoy your Dorset Cereals bars.

I find it hard to do a post without a pretty photograph so thought I would share imo a pretty one of a P.E Drawstring bag I made for a little girl. I think it is pretty and girly, exactly what she wanted. Hope you think it is pretty too. I had to do a little crafty technical research on this one, thank you for helping me out, you know who you are :0)

I like experimenting with different colour labels on my pretties, as some seem to co ordinate much better. I have quite a rainbow of colours of labels to play with and I thought my pink ones suited this bag perfectly, and popped one on the reverse.   

I am in the middle of making some more personalised ones including some boy ones. I love that they are so personal to their owner with having their special name on. Hmmmm must get round to making my own children one.

Hope you all had a nice weekend, and congratulations again to Sheila.

Dorset Cereals Yummy Giveaway....

I was kindly sent some very yummy Dorset Cereals Bars from the chaps and chapesses at Dorset Cereals to taste test and I have to say are thoroughly deliciouso. They come in a pack of five and there are three tasty recipes to choose from, Almond, brazil & hazelnut, Blackcurrant, cherry and raspberry, and Apple and raisin. Now of course they are a very suitable little lunch time snack, though it is hard to resist having one, as I do, for breakfast, one for a mid morning snack, then lunch too....

They are tasty, suitable for vegetarians, contain a decent amount of fibre and protein, and, very importantly to me, my children love them too, even the four year old, and they have popped off to school today with one in their lunch bags.

Talking of lunch bags, I was also sent one of their soon to be released lunch bags, which is super stylish in my opinion, and I would be more than happy to have it gracing my arm whilst walking in the park with my lunch in it, so much more classy than a squished up carrier bag ;0) As I say, the lunch bags haven't even yet been released so felt very privileged to get my little mitts on one. Are you good at taking time out for a decent lunch break? Working from home, handmaking pretties, I do find it a challenge to give myself proper lunch breaks, and is always as and when, though having read Dorset Cereals Reclaim Your Lunch Break Tips am going to make more of an effort to be more organised and take the time out I deserve.

So, on to which is my favourite recipe.Well, the Blackcurant, cherry & raspberry were looking like the favourite but has been over taken by the Almond, brazil & hazelnut bar. Ohoooo can't wait to have bar No2 for the day ;0) Hmmmmm, I think it is very teasing of me to tell you all about these tasty treats and have you drooling, so I asked very nicely to Dorset Cereals if I could do a giveaway to give one of you the opportunity of wining some of the lovely bars too, not only that, but I cheekily asked if they could pop in one of the trendy and very pretty lunch bags, and being the generous people they are, they said yes :0) So if you would like to go in the hat, please feel free to leave a comment on this post. Really you should, they make a lovely gift too, the packaging is so sweet and is unbleached, and made from 100% recycled fibre. Being a passionate person, I only endorse products on my blog that I am passionate about, or think you may be be passionate about too, and these certainly get the thumbs up from me.

A winner shall be picked from the hat on Sunday evening ( after x factor ) and then I shall send the winners details onto Dorset Cereals and they shall post your winning parcel onto you.

Good luck if you enter----------> off to get another one, no wonder I have lots of these around the house ;0)
