I made a promise to myself that if the seemingly impossible ever happened, i.e. reaching the milestone of 100 followers, that I would have to have a GIVEAWAY in the style of a Lucky Dip. If you wish to be in the running to win you will need to leave a comment here telling me why you like my blog and whether there is anything you would like to see more of.
The closing date for these comments will be WEDNESDAY, 24TH NOVEMBER.
On the final day your name will be placed in a hat and I shall ask Maggie, my dear friend and next door neighbour, or her black Jack poodle to draw the winning name. SO STAY TUNED!

Well Suzi I hate to tell you this but I don't like your blog.... I LOVE IT!!!!!! I love all your color choices, your textures, your wonderful combination's, but most of all your friendship. I feel like we dance to the same tune. I learn so much from you and when I read your blog it sparks the old creative juices. Thank you for everything. I am very slowly recouping from that flu shot. I am amazed at what it has done to me. I really tire easily. Drs. say I am almost there. I just look at them and say "Where?" LOL can't wait to be hiking again soon. Thanks for dropping by, it ment a lot. Sharon

ReplyDeleteWell, you know I had to comment Suzy! I ALWAYS enjoy my visits to your blog to see your latest "textures". The colours are always so luscious - makes me want to jump into the screen to touch those wonderful fabrics. Your needlebooks are lovely - I think I just may need to get one down the road now that I'm doing more hand work. Have you thought about doing a video workshop for a smaller item??!! Keep the projects coming - am looking forward to the next installment of your journal pages...

Hi Suzi, Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog for a visit - it gave me the chance to discover yours.

I've got the coffee on and plan on sitting here for the next hour or so reading through all your past blogs and veiwing on the wonderful eye candy you have created. Congratulations on your 100th follower - I will be sure to add you to my list.

Hi Suzi,your blog is a real feast for the eyes and I feel like I'm transported to an exotic ancient bazaar where you just don't know what treasures you'll find next. Your creations are luscious and so rich in colour. You just want to see them in real life and touch them. I'm always amazed by what comes out of your stash, it must be a real treasure trove.

Please enter me!
ReplyDeleteThe reason I often visit your blog is because the things you make are so full of rich depth, I only wish I could 'fondle' them, they look so 'feelie, touchy'. It's wonderful how you manage to combine so many different textures and colours and always come up with something artistic and so very interesting to look at.
I always look forward to seeing your inspiring work, and look forward too, to seeing more of it in the future.
Many thanks
What a fantastic Giveaway. Thanks for stopping by me so I found your wonderful blog :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice time
Hugs Alexandra
