It is time to announce the winners of my giveaway.Prize 1Thanks to all of my followers, I am sorry you couldn’t all win. The random number generator picked follower 14. I counted up from the beginning (unfortunately the people with no google id go to the beginning so they had to count as numbers 1 – 4 even though they weren’t my first 4 followers) – so I make number 14 Flowermouse.

I love to read them and look at the pictures but for some reason very rarely actually use them. I am going to commit to doing at least 1 a month and sharing...

Oh dear I have made the mistake of looking at Pinterest! There goes half my life playing with it! But how wonderful to be able to pin up pictures from everywhere in one place.
