Magenta & Black GIVEAWAY!!!!

As I was saying in the post about black and white all the way last week, I love monochrome. But I have to say my all time colour combo favourite has to be magenta and black (If you have seen my website you will know how much I like it). So I thought to myself why not have a magenta and black themed give away? So here it is.....my booty of items bought at Hobby craft.

It includes:
A pack of decorative papers
12 pieces of felt (4white, 4pink, 4black)
Black card stock (perfect for making mini note cards)
3 bobbins of thread (pink, black, silver)
4 generous rolls of ribbon (flowered, silver, black satin, pink with white dots)

Perfect I think for making creative note cards, bookmarks, brooches....well whatever your creative little soul desires.

To take part in this give away all I'm asking is that you comment in this post by introducing yourself and telling us all a little something interesting about you. I think it would be nice for me and you to get to know each other..... and that's it :) don't forget to leave a contact and winners will be chosen (as always from my famous felt bucket) on Wednesday 1st OCTOBER.

I will start you off: "Hi I'm Emma, I used to go to dance class when I was younger and when I was 15 I won the Lincolnshire & Humberside Under 16 Championships :) ".

And look what Mr.Posty brought me today, another package from Paper and String.....I am feeling prematurely festive at the mo so I thought it would be a good time to think of some Christmas inspired brooches. Of course I'll show you when they are done.
OK then get posting!!!

  5. Emma, you're so generous with your giveaways! Love that colour combo. Hmmm, something interesting... ok, well, in just over a week I shall be entering the last year of my 30's (yikes!) and I am rather sadly addicted to playing my son's game of Guitar Hero on the Wii! Not very interesting I know, but I couldn't think of anything else!!

    Hmmm, something interesting? Well, my name is Allisa and I feel like my 8 month old baby boy keeps my life interesting! But something about me? Well, I worked as a special educator in low income under-resourced areas with high risk students for 6 years before 'retiring' to have my son.

    Thanks for the very generous giveaway!

  11. Not only do you have interesting things to say on your blog, I love the humour.
    What to say??
    I travelled in your country when I was much younger and enjoyed the history, especially as I had ancestors who came from that part of the world.

  15. Lovely blog! I just found you in the Etsy forums. I really like getting to know new people. I guess I would have to since I have moved 13 times in my 26 years. The first time I moved I was a month old and we moved from Nashville, AR to Germany. I was so cute in my passport picture...hehe. :)
