Lazy Blogger

I haven't blogged much over the last few weeks.  It is difficult trying to fit it in, but I know I need to make more of an effort.  There are so many inspiring blogs out there.

I went back to work yesterday and it was nice to get back to normal instead of being ill.  Today is a day off so just catching up on some orders to post.  I am also starting to think of Christmas.  I know it is only August, but that is not much time to make everything I will need.

Nothing more interesting to tell you.  Remember 20% shop sale is still on.

Much Better

Thanks for everyone's get well wishes, today I am much better, although I have now passed it on to Jamie.  Fingers crossed the children don't get it.

I have been featured in a Folksy Friday on a Blog called 'Tales from Mount Pleasant', with my polka dot cufflinks - check it out.

From my sick bed.....again! - (& Blog Giveaway Winner)

I am ill again.  What is wrong with me???  Spent all of the last night vomitting, and I have a being sick phobia so wasn't good at all.  I now have a massive headache from not being able to sleep at all and a stiff neck (i am not a hypercondriac, I promise, although Jamie might argue different!).  I think it is not untill I stop and chill, that sometimes things get on top of me.  This usually happens when I am off work.  I have had a very busy 10 months since Daisy was born and Lilies and Daisies was born in December too.

So usually I would still be in bed (going straight back there after this post), but I had to share the winner of the August blog giveaway...drumroll....the random number generator has chosen number 7....who is Jessica.  Email me your details and I will get the magnets straight to you.

And as promised, there is a now a 20% discount in my Etsy and Folksy shops on everything (except postage charge), for 1 week.
Only 2 small rules:

• You must be a follower of this blog (not too late to join)
• and you must send me a message via the shop stating that you are a follower and leave your follower name.  I will then refund you back the 20% discount.

Due to me being bed bound today, things may take a little longer to be posted than normal, but hopefully I will be back to fighting fit tomorrow.

Blog Giveaway Reminder

Just a quick note to remind everyone that the August Blog Giveaway ends tomorrow, when one person will win 4 Russian Doll magnets, and the Lilies and Daisies Folksy and Etsy shops will be having an exclusive sale for followers only.  Details tomorrow.

Oh, and I am feeling much better.  I can actually enjoy the last few days I have off now. :)

I am ill.  I have been ill all week and it is only getting worse, so this weekend will be spent mostly lying in bed doing nothing.  Being a nurse, I am a terrible patient.

I prepared this post at the begining of the week.  On Sunday, we visited the National Eisteddfod of Wales and I discovered more crafty people and shops from Wales, which I have decided to share with you.

August Blog Giveaway

Sorry it is a bit late happening this month.  I knew I had to do it, but wasn't sure whether to do a giveaway or have a shop sale exclusive for my followers.  I have decided to do both!!  This blog giveaway will run for a week and then there will be a shop sale the following week for all my followers, on Etsy and Folksy, with 10% off everything (except shipping charges).

The giveaway is inspired from a special request I had.  It is a set of 4 Russian Doll magnets.  This is the first time anyone has seen them and they are very cute.  If the winner prefers, they can chose them as badges instead.  They will also be listed to purchase on eBay this week.

To enter, all you have to do is:

1. Be a follower and leave a comment telling me you want to be included.
2. Become a follower and comment to let me know.
3. And for extra entries, blog about my giveaway and post the link.

Very simple!!

Good luck!!

What to do?

Today I woke up with a strange feeling.....I have nothing to do!!

I did have a brilliant day yesterday.  Had a argument with my badge machine, made and completed 20 orders and finished my 2 large custom orders (one is for a shop - you have to check out her blog as it is so lovely Paperdolly) .

And all that means that I have no custom orders to complete at the moment and I am up to date with everything.  This hasn't happened for months and I am sure it won't last.

But it does mean that I can add more things to my Folksy and Etsy today and maybe even start to make a few new things I have wanted to do for ages.  I will use my time wisely.

Also a big thank you for Scented Sweetpeas for mentioning me in her blog regarding her winning the Blog giveawaylast month.  She has some brilliant photos of her prizes.
