Tesco Back To School Range Giveaway....

Well, it is nearly time for the school bell to ring again, and as ever in the Poppins' household, we do kind of leave things last minute to get the uniforms and all the new pencil cases and pens. * Tut Tut *  So, it is at times like this that I am glad I am friends with Mr/Mrs. Tesco who sent out a selection of uniform, notebooks, pencil cases, pencils and pens for Master and Miss Poppins to help get them in the mood for getting back to school.

Oh yes, the little Poppins are certainly getting in the mood.... and I am very impressed with the high quality and feel of the uniforms, and many items you don't even need to iron *hooray*

To help get your little ones back in the mood for school, Tesco have kindly offered a £15 voucher code to spend on their online Tesco Back to School range. If you would like the voucher code to spend on the back to school range, feel free to leave a comment on this post saying so by teatime (ish), 2nd September, and I shall pick a winner from the hat and email the voucher code over to the lucky winner.

Good Luck.

Edit: Thank you, a winner has been picked from the hat, enjoy your voucher :)

Rosie Flo's Giveaway Winner Is....And A Little Decorating Chat

Thank you all so much for popping your names in the hat to win 2 sets of Rosie Flo colouring postcards. I wish you all could have won, but alas there could be only be one name pulled from the hat and that was the  delightful Scented Sweetpeas who I know has some sweet cherubs of her own, and who I hope really love the postcards. I shall of course pop a little handmade pretty in too.

How about something like this, a pretty patchwork heart I made for a very lovely lady.

I am happy to say work can begin on decorating the lounge, yippppppppeeeeeee. I have been waiting for this for a long time, there has been re wiring, plastering, you name it, and we are ready to get my pretty wallpaper out, my paintbrush out and get cracking. The husband is going to ( because he loves me) let me paint the 1940s fire surround, I understand the warmth the wood brings etc, but know it shall look so pretty painted a nice off white/cream. We haven't yet decided whether to paint or varnish the floorboards, have some new white Ektorp covers, and have got some ideas on what furniture is going in. Yes is all looking rather white in scheme, and yes I have two young children ;0) Well I am being so inspired by this charming book I have had for ages, and I always love to dip in and get some white inspiration. I shall of course be popping some very pretty and colourful accessories here and there and I may have a go at doing the curtains. We have three large windows in the lounge, one of them being over 2 metres wide so no small feat, though I am in the middle of making some for my lovely neighbour that gave me her singer and have to say thus far, seems quite a simpleish job. Though is quite a task keeping all the fabric on the table, most of it ends up on my knees as I am sewing. So time to dig out my decorating dungarees and prettify my home. Hope I dont bore you with all my decorating updates....

How Would You Like To Win A Case Of....

Thank you so much for all the good luck for getting my cake mixer, we shall see ;0) Being a dreamer that is probably all it is, a dream....

Talking of cakes, I have been making more and more and more, think I may have a new hobby forming and thought you may like to have a little go at a fun competition to win a case of Dorset Cereals' very yummy Tasty Flakes

Here is a little peek at a selection of what you could soon be enjoying eating for your breakfast, or infact lunch, or tea also come to think of it.

Not only do Dorset Cereals taste great, but they look very pretty too, and we all know how much I love pretty packaging.

So, with the help of a lovely friend, thought a food related competion would be fun, especially if that food involved pretty cupcakes. So, if you would like to be in with a chance of winning some yum yum cereal all I would like to know is how many homemade cupcakes you think have been consumed by my family in the last two weeks, that is 2 grown up adults and 2 children. Simples. Leave a comment on this post with your answer of what you think, whoever is the nearest or is right shall win the lovely case of lots of pretty and tasty cereal, if there is more than one person that is right, names shall go in a hat and a winner chosen. I shall leave the competition open all weekend and a winner shall be picked on Monday evening.

It really is a lovely and generous prize offered by the friendly people over at Dorset Cereal's. You can buy their cereal's too in their online shop and they also have a fantastic competition of their own where you can win a very stylish mini cooper, you can enter here 

So good luck and hope you win :0)
