Fiskars Give-Away

Hi Everyone...crikey can you believe there are only a few days left in November...before we know the countdown to Christmas will begin...the usual headless chicken marathon to get everything ready for the big day. My plans for a burning the midnight oil weekend getting to grips with the crafty list turned into an adventure of a different kind when my new laptop arrived. My old faithful Dell Desktop has been on the way out for some time and I've put off replacing it simply because of the time it takes to get acquainted with something new. Crikey technology has certainly moved on...it's now all singing all dancing with lots of gizmos and I was a little wary of how I would get on with Windows 10. After spending most of my weekend deleting all the apps I'm never going to use...transferring essential stuff from the old computer and personalising the desktop for easy use...I'm not going to lie...there were times I was tearing my hair out and ready to throw it in the bin but persistence is my middle name and no way was I going to be beaten by a modern day box of tricks. Woohoo...we're now up and running and this geriatric technophobe is embracing the latest technology and loving it...although the touchpad is driving me nuts...wireless mouse is top of the shopping list and Contana's future employment hangs in the balance...reminds me of that irritating Sat Nav woman...I know my memory is a little bit dodgy but I don't need her to remind me to buy a loaf of bread or pick The Furry Boy up from the vet...well not yet anyway.

And I'll probably be missing in action for the rest of the week...time to hit the "2 days behind schedule" crafty list...lots of top secret/can't even share sneaky peeks stuff so I'm having a little Fiskars Give-Away and it just so happens there's an Intricate Leaf Punch looking for a new home...
 

and here's a canvas I made for Fiskars a few years ago using the punch...
The give-away will close on on Saturday 3rd December at 8pm and I'll announce the winner bright and early on Sunday morning so to put your name in the hat...click on the Inlinkz tab below.
