I was so excited to receive my prize in the mail this week! I just had to share it with you all!
I was fortunate enough to win one of the Cosies from Tina's and Anna's Double Lucky- Double Dip giveaway.
Both Tina from Rubies Place and Anna from Lona De Anna are the loveliest gals you will come across, not only are they encouraging with their comments they are also creative and talented if you haven't been to visit their blog please stop by and say 'Hi'.
I must confess that my Cosie was called a 'Takeaway Cosie' but I was so excited to show it off I ingeniously made it fit my mug and I think it works! Please take note of the lovely tag that came with my prize, I can't throw it away so I will have to find a home for it so I can admire Tina's creativity.
I also would like to send the very lovely Samantha from The Nest a big thank you for awarding me with the 'Sunshine Award'. I just love Samantha's blog and her creations are gorgeous. Samantha has just listed some new cushions for sale on her Etsy shop and I love them! Please stop by and have a look at her designs I am just trying to convince WH that I need another cushion cover wish me luck, Mothers Day is just around the corner!
I have covered the prize and the award and now I have the game left! I was tagged by Donatella from Donatella Style, Sonja from Tied with a Bouw and Abby from Two little Dicky Birds to post the sixth photo I ever showed on my blog. So without further ado......
I must admit I disappointed that it isn't a glamorous photo but oh well....... the photo above is from the real estate advertisement for our house. I am pleased to say that it doesn't look like that anymore! Now it looks like....
Oops, it used to look like that but now it looks like this.....
This photo makes me smile because we spent many, many, many hours in our backyard working, ripping up the deck and back filling and then paving. We are really pleased with the results but we know there is still so much left to do.
I will definitely be doing a 'two years later' post to show the progress and hopefully we will be finished by then, but are you actually ever finished?
Thank you to Donna, Abby and Sonja for tagging me, if you haven't been to visit them, make sure you do, they are all the sweetest ladies and are amongst my favourite blogs to read.
I am meant to pass on the award and tag some others for the game so I will do that in my next post!
Thank you for stopping by and visiting me! xx
