I Am So Happily Overwhelmed....

I have been so touched and overwhelmed.


I have received my beautiful Giveaway gifts from Lou @ Ludabelle I have to be honest and say I had no idea who the beautiful parcel was from, did I have a secret valentine admirer I thinking :) So I delved into the prettiest gift bag and pulled out a couple of cards, well one was for Big Sister and Little Man, I really should have twigged then but I have never been quick off the mark, and than I saw one for Mary Poppins, ah a Blogger friend, so I quickly found out who my delightful parcel was from, It was the very talented and special Lou.


Now normally I would keep my little parcel in a very safe place, take a little peek at the gorgeous wrapping every now and then, and then when Darling Husband came home from work, unwrap my pretties in some peace and quiet, normally on my bed, where I can cry, yes you all know me by now, you could send me some fresh air in a little brown package and I would cry :) and savour each and every moment. Well I threw caution to the wind and I wanted to dive right into unwrapping my goodies from Lou.


Now one little man and presents = trouble, so needed him out of the way, in a nice way if you know what I mean :) I spy a little parcel for you Little Man, Mmmmm maybe Lou knows what little boys like, wahay, well done Lou, his little sweeties worked a treat, now I could unwrap in peace.





He says thank you very much Lou,and gave you one of his cheekiest smiles, note didn't even have chance to clean the breakfast from his Postman Pat PJ's, and the wellies, yes we have a welly thing going on here, he won't allow us to take them off, so he has slept in them :)





Thank you so much for the gifts for the children Lou, very very kind of you and I know Big Sister shall want to thank you when she comes home from school and unwraps her beautiful gift,can you see the little ladybird Lou has on the children's wrapping, how sweet.





So now I had some peace. Everything was so beautifully packaged in the prettiest of paper, and inside were the most delightful scented paper hearts, methinks it is rice paper and long to have a little taste, though thought better not, and would be a waste anyway of such beauties. I had some chocolate hearts, yumm yumm, thanks Lou oops apologies, it is rather rude to speak with one's mouthful :) So the pretties were there begging me to unwrap.


I think the tears were coming round about now :) especially on unwrapping one of Lou's delightfully handmade needle felted mohair Hearts, I am not sure but she may have made the button too, now how clever is that. Isn't it absolutely gorgeous.





Hang on a minute Lou, I had been lucky enough to win some gorgeous bunting, not all these pretties, I felt very spoilt indeed. And now some more crying, look, how special would you feel wearing one of Lou's handmade corsages and my what intricate metalwork, I shall take great pride in wearing it. It is indeed a corsage fit for a queen, why therefore has it so magically landed in my hands.





I know you would like a closer look.





I girl can never have enough flower pots.





And the beautiful LA bunting. I promise to have it somewhere very, very special. It is so pretty.





So I am truly touched and hope you have enjoyed seeing why, Lou you are a very beautiful person and your special words have meant so much to me. Thank you for your friendship.


Well Big Sister is delighted, one of your beautiful handmade Hearts, how sweet of you. She adores her Straw bag with your handmade butterfly, ladybird, flowers and lace, perfect flower choice too. You are so very talented. She thanks you so very,very much.





Take Care my lovelies

Can I Have A Drum Roll Please....

I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful, encouraging, honest and special comments. Each and everyone of you has really helped me. I guess I am quite a deep person and for me aspects of that have to reflect in my Blog. Maybe I shall have a separate deep blog for all my shadowy moments and come here for my fun and frivolity :)


Talking of fun and frivolity can you see yourselves all up there, we would have a fun olde night wouldn't we if we all met and had a party I am sure of it. Don't you all look sweet. I used my favourite pen to write your name in pink or blue and each of you had a little good luck heart. I placed you all on one of my favourite lacy cushions, ready to put you in a pretty tin. We all get involved, well alright Big Sister and I and then whoever is in the room, but we love Giveaways here and enjoy finding out who has won.


So here you are, popped into the tin.





My, and what a special and pretty tin you went in too. Please click to enlarge if you would like a better look at the pretty scene. I gather it is very old, I love it so much and I paid 50p from a car boot sale for it.





We all gave you a good Shake 'n Vac :) And a winner was drawn by Benny Bear and Big Sister.





Well done to Summerfete


We were far too excited to leave it at that, so decided on a surprise 2nd winner.





Well done to Vintage Tea


I shall gather my pretties and send them out to you by special blogger post :)


I would dearly have loved you all to have a little something, so I shall send you a little hug and thanks for joining in on my Giveaway, if that is alright :)


Please, if you have a spare minute or two could you say a quick hello and welcome to a very special person, my dear swap partner Sew Hot Mitmot from the SC Cafe. You may remember she sent me the most gorgeous CK Esque swap here She is truly the most amazing crafter and has a wonderful heart and I am so pleased she has taken this journey over to Blogland.

Thoughts For The Day....

I am finding my Blog somewhat rather twee and am searching in my soul whether I wish for it to be somewhat edgier. What do you think of your own Blog, are you happy that it is everything you wish your Blog to be.


I am not sure what sort of Blog I am, I have to say the Blogs I find most interesting are the ones where there are definately shadows amongst the sunshine. A question that has probably been asked of you a thousand times, but I would love to know, why you took the journey into Blogland.


Anyway hope you like my little lady, Big Sister and I dressed her up when she came home from school, she is going on a special date, and I think looks rather attractive, don't you. We all seem to love the snow don't we, brings out the child in us.


Giveaway winner to be picked Tuesday 7pm, thank you for your fantastic comments and please join in if you haven't already :)


Take Care in the snow
