Winner * Winner * Winner... of Pip Lincolne's gorgeous new book

 It is Sunday... and i was just about to walk the dog....

then i thought, i shall draw this GIVEAWAY Winner now, or it will never happen!

 So: *drum rrroooolllllll*

It is YOU Joanne - http://rosedahlia.blogspot.com/ - from this place here

and Jo has 2 sons and a daughter and has been finding the time to do some very cool Christmas Crafting.

She shames us that she can find the time! Please go and see her amazing knitted NOEL letters. I am in awe of her talents.

I do not *know* Jo so it all Legit. like. But i know her now :)

Well Done my Lovely and i do wish everyone could win it though.

 And i thought i would stuff this little lot in to show you something new and wacky i made t'other week...

 It is a felt 'Paper Chain'

and i find it so amusing that my business is actually called PaperFish,

there is very VERY little to do with paper in anything i do....

Even my paperchain is felt!

This was hugely time consuming and it took me around 2 hours to complete a piece of chain barely over 2 metres long. Tcha, but it was very satisfying!

I might try some more colourways and styles.

Ya know, i have so much more to talk to you all about.

2012 is going to be so big for me. So special. i can just feel it!

And i am so grateful that people pop in, read for a bit, enter the giveaways and like sharing all this stuff too. ThankU xxx

Winner! winner! attention,,,,, win-ner.....

 Hey!.... There is a Winner :) sorry for the delay - but i have been chillaxing in the Sunshine this week.

Above is the little prize. March copy of "Making" magazine plus a button bag, plus a little pincushion and a button brooch.

I have put an order in for some buttons. For the time being, we'll have a few of the BLOOMING GORGEOUS and also the VINTAGE BAKELITES

I shall let you know when they are here...

or maybe i won't?

maybe i shall keep them all for my own selfish pleasures, mwahahahaaaa.

 oh, i am sorry - who won?

MMmmmmmMMMmmm

Mmmmmm..... Melissa!

and She wrote:

"If I was still a child I would be clutching these in my fist and carrying them everywhere I went, checking every so often to make sure I still had them!!

Which is so sweet.

My SmallFish put 2 buttons in her Locket at the weekend as she wanted something 'precious' to put in there. Soooo cute. And we haven't changed as adults, have we?

You can rest assured Melissa is a random choice from scrolling through the LOVELY (by the way) comments - as Mel lives in Canada! and i would have chosen a UK winner to save on postage if i had fixed this in anyway, hahahha - thankyou Mel!!

 Random Button Bags in the BigFish shop....

Just including them here as i thought the photos looked so nice.

Thankyou Button Lovers )) O (( Buttony cuddles.

And the WINNER is...

Ummm, so.... this is what happend...
the sun came out a few days ago and, like many people in the UK, i went into a kind of 'dreamy reverie' which involved sun dresses and home-made lemonade. And... there i was playing Super Slide Water Shoots in the garden and i started thinking, this is a wicked suntan i'm getting.... and then i started wondering "who won that Giveaway i was running on the blog..." (deathly silence - tumbleweed rolls - the penny drops) OH. It's MY blog.... I'm supposed to be putting them all in a hat and drawing a WINNER!!

SO.... begging forgiveness, and a few hours (make that a day) later than planned.... we have a WINNER!!! whoop-de-doooo.

I wrote down all the entries on tiny tiny tiny strips of paper and my sister pulled one out the jar.....

And the name is VICTORIA ANN. I am pleased to tell you it was Victoria as she revealed what a rotten day she had just had when she entered the giveaway.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou one and all - i really did enjoy that little game-show style week!

But i feel a bit sad too as i thought "it'd be so nice to send everybody a little something" but that would be mad mad behaviour. x x x i send you all huggles instead x

Well Done Victoria!
