The winner is Joy!  What a happy name you have.  Joy’s comment was number 8 and her happy colour is Pink.  Joy, if you would prefer a Pink Happy Birthday garland I am happy to send you one of those instead.  I will be in touch.  Thank you to everyone who entered, I loved hearing all about your happy colours.

Now, I am going out to do some banking (I found a long lost cheque) and I am going to see if that 1960’s sewing machine is still at the Op Shop.  I think I might have just the place for it.

Have a happy day.

Julie!  Congratulations to you.  My Mum is visiting and she did the honorable drawing from the hat.  Thanks Mum.  I will send you an email right now Julie.

Later today I will post some holiday snaps.

In honour of Paperklip’s 51st post (50 slipped by without me realising) I am giving away this pretty number – a string of mini red hearts.  I didn’t count them, though the length is 2 metres so lots on there.  Perfect for Valentines Day too.  Just leave a comment and I will put your names in a hat.  It won’t be the same hat though, the last one flew away while I was fishing at Greenwell Point.  I’ve got a new one. 

So much going on and I have had a fabulous energising break with the Vikings.  I will post in a day or two and show some holiday snaps.  Among other things.

Hip hip hooray!  Today I drew the winner of the lmnop A-Z garland prize and it was Jogirl.  Congratulations – I will be in touch very soon.

Thanks to all who entered.
