"A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." (chinese proverb)
Yep! I've taken quite a few steps to get to here, must have totalled several miles by now! And here is the next step...
Woohoooooooooo!!
Who would have thunk it..little old me with a website!
So to mark the occasion and CELEBRATE I'm having a giveaway of frilly fishie goodness...
A matching pouch and journal......
The little journal/sketchbook is perfect for stuffing into your bag and carrying about to catch those little moments of inspiration or sketches. The pages are artists watercolour paper 230gsm with a few added pages of glittery navy blueness! There are two little button and ribbon closures to keep it all neat and snug.
You may remember the pouch from one of my previous experiments which created a slight zip battle. We've made our peace now ...me and the fishie (and the zip!) and I've even sewn on a few
more decorative bits to compensate for the heated exchange!
So if you think you'd like these frilly fishie pieces here's what I'd like you to do!!....
* Become a follower if you are not already! (do you think i could make it to 200?! Ooh icing on the cake or what!)
* Check out my website (on the link above)and leave me a comment below telling me what you like best!
* If you feel so inclined to spread the word through bloggy land, facebook, twitter then let me know and that'll get you another entry.
The Giveaway closes on November 5th...a night of fireworks in this part of the world!
And finally I would like to send out a HUGE heartfelt THANKYOU to all you lovely peeps out there,(YOU know who YOU are!!) because without the ocean of support you give those steps would be soooo much harder XX
This definitely looks fishy! Great work, and congrats on your new website. Valerie
