HERE IS MY SURPRISE BIRTHDAY CANDY GIVE-AWAY
A CUTE LITTLE HANDBAG FILLED WITH SOME
YUMMY STUFF
The template for the handbag is from my fabby Funky Hand Teamie
Carol and can be downloaded HERE
and here is the little twist.....the Design Team have been sworn to secrecy and are not allowed to show what is in their little goodie parcels......or there will be slapped legs all round......well don't know about you but I love surprises and I definitely don't like my legs slapped.
IF YOU WISH TO ENTER MY CANDY......PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW
WITH A LINK TO YOUR CARD AND PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
I am off on holiday for the next week.....so I have removed COMMENT MODERATION from my blog so that your comments will be published immediately....I don't know if I will have internet access or not while I am away and may not be able to visit you all through the week....so I have decided to postpone choosing my winner until I get home on SUNDAY 21st JUNE....and comments not linked to a challenge card will not count for the candy.
I am so disappointed that my holiday coincides with our big birthday bash....bad planning on my part and if there is any cake going....please save me a slice..
Off to organise some clothes for the hols....get the packing done but I am not deserting you altogether...have managed to schedule some posts for next week....you will never know I am away.
Happy Crafting Everyone
Toodle...oo for now
