Fraught has been the word for this week, small child with very high temp and convulsion...not fun. But now things are settling and we can see beyond the goldfish bowl of parental fears ....cue huge sigh of relief....
Well that is until the creature from the lagoon needs to be tamed....7 days of being in bed has created something quite extraordinary on the top of said small child's barnett..
seeing is believing!.....
Where to start??!!!
So with a quick change of subject (as I'm really trying to put the whole hairbrush ordeal off!), today brings "Bonfire night", night of fireworks , "oohs and aaahs" and of course the giveaway winner announcement!
Taking inspiration from the gorgeous Anne and her wonderfully wacky ways of selecting the winner I thought I'd try a little more than names in a bowl. With my eldest always welcoming the chance to get wet or messy and with halloween having just passed (without event here, due to aforementioned reasons!) we thought a take on "dooking for apples" was adequate....
so take one list of names and write onto floaty substance
one basin of water
And there we have it...the winner is Gayle from embroidery mad....yay! and congratulations...I'm delighted to be sending my frilly fishies to you. :)
Thankyou so much everyone for all your kindness, support and fabby feedback towards my new website...means a WHOLE whole world XX

Phew - glad to hear she is on the mend (even if her isn't!!).
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fishie.
Fevers can cause such scary things can't they? I'm glad her hair has the worst of it now and that you're all well. I did get a chuckle out of that 'do though. :) And what a creative way to pick names, finding a volunteer probably wasn't that hard.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you my friend.
