The Winner of my Grow Your Blog Party GIVEAWAY

The time has come to announce the winner

of my GIVEAWAY for the

Grow Your Blog Party,

organized by our dear Vicki Boster of

2Bags Full Blog.

By all accounts it has been a huge success with over 600 blogs

entering.  The list of entrants is still up on Vicki's blog and will

be there for the whole year if you would love to
go and visit some.

The lucky number is 52 and that is
Wendy of Apple and Apricot
I had to laugh because Wendy was so keen to win the collage

that she had each member of her family crossing their fingers 
and toes!  Perhaps that is why it worked!

Congratulations dear Wendy I am so happy that this
collage brooch will be winging its way
to Holland but I will need you to
send me all of your details!

None of this would have been possible without the
dedication of hours put in by Vicki -
she certainly is an amazing person in so many ways
as well as a number of volunteers who assisted her in
visiting the huge number of blogs!!!!

Now I honestly think it is time for Vicki to have a well earned rest
because she has put her own personal life on hold while
involving and organising such an amazing event!

I too have visited many many new blogs and found some
amazing artists out there in blogland 
and
am gathering much new inspiration for my ever evolving
artwork!
I would like to thank all of you who left me such kind comments too!
and decided to follow my blog -
just "Thank You"♥♥♥

I can see how blogging has changed the lives of so many people
in such a positive way for all those that came to the party!

♥♥♥

Very shortly I will share with you a new project which I have
recently completed - a Bird wrap

speaking of which came these feathered parrots
to drink from our fountain this morning!

They are Australian Rainbow Lorikeets with their
distinguished colourings and noteable red beaks.

You can't mistake their arrival - they are so noisy and raucas!

I am sure you will find something beautiful in your 
surrounding world today that will bring you
some little joy!

Love and hugs,
Suzy xox

Thank you once again for your wonderful comments
for they are so appreciated by me!
