I was tempted to be selfish here, but I just couldn’t help myself!

I adore these little bookcase necklaces so much I just had to share them with you:

And there’s a giveaway going on!  You could win one of these gorgeous necklaces over at Cory’s Blog.  Not only that, but there’s the cutest little teapot earrings thrown in too.  You have until 25th March, so don’t hang about!

Books and tea. What more could a girl want?

Have you entered my clock giveaway?

No?

What are you waiting for?  Get over there now – all you need to do is tell me which clock you’d like to win from these pages on my website and leave a comment here.  I’d love to know why you’d like to win it too!

The giveaway is to celebrate 100,000 blog visitors and this is where we’re up to now:

So not long to go!

We’ll reach the magical 100,000 mark over this weekend so I plan to announce the winners on Tuesday or Wednesday, after Handmade Monday is out of the way.

Definitely a cause for celebration, I think.  Maybe these beer and wine clocks will be just the ticket for someone.

If you’re not lucky enough to win, or you’ve arrived here too late, you can buy my clocks here and you can sign up for my newsletter (so you don’t miss any more giveaways or special offers) here.

And a big, big thank you to everyone who has taken part!

These weeks are flying by aren’t they?  Welcome to another Handmade Monday.

I’m keeping it short and sweet this week, with a reminder that my new Christmas gift tags are available as a free download here – ready for you to print on some good quality card or paper.  They are an instant download (so there’s no waiting around for emails) – I’m currently trialling this download thingymajig and will (eventually) be offering printables for sale.  Meanwhile, these ones are free – so enjoy them with my best wishes!

A quick word about approaching a big milestone: my stats tell me visitor numbers are nearly 93,000 . . . so, I’m thinking what can I do to celebrate once we hit 100,000?  I’m guessing this could come slap bang in the middle of my busiest period (the run up to Christmas) and may actually go unnoticed at first.  But at some point I need a celebration – a giveaway?  What would you like to see?  Do let me know – it might help me decide!

If you’re joining in this week, add your link below.  Please play fair and place a reciprocal link in your blog post – and please also visit as many of the other links as you can, remembering that everyone loves to receive comments on their blog.

I know there’s not much in life that’s free and without strings, but I promise you these new gift tags are!

Christmas gift tags

They are downloadable gift tags, so you just click on the link on this page to save or print.  You can print them as often as you like so if you have dozens of presents to wrap they are a very cost-effective option – and with 10 tags to a page it won’t take long to print off all you need.

The idea is you cut them out along the blue lines, leaving some of the blue outline in each tag.  You can punch a hole if you like where the little blue circle is and thread them with string or ribbon (told you they came without any strings attached *groan*) or just stick them on as they are with a double-sided sticky dot.

They are all hand drawn and painted by me, then scanned for you to download and are the trial run for things to come!  I’m hoping to sell downloadable designs next year – mostly designs for cardmakers, but I have a few other ideas up my sleeve (or, more accurately, in one of my many sketchbooks).

I’m not sure how long these will be free for, so if you like them, grab them now!
