Snowdrops and a Giveaway

Hello lovelies ,
Well thank you all for your comments about my dress makeover, you lot are really something special.
It hasn't escaped my notice that I now have nearly 400 followers, oh wow !
It really is such a positive thing for me to have you lovely lot to share the crafty , pretty, outdoorsy bits of my little world with.
It's nearly a year since I started this blogging thing and though I sometimes feel guilty for the time I spend on it , I'm having way too much fun to want to stop :0)

I enjoy the interaction with like minded peeps so much. And I really think looking for pretty and positive things to share with you all has made me more positive as a result.It has certainly made me notice natures beauty a whole lot more than I did before.
I love taking the photos  and even writing the posts, though I don't think this is my strongest point .

On the way back from shopping yesterday I pulled over for a second to see if I could find any snowdrops at the edge of some woodland.I do love these first flowers of the year and all they signify....like spring is coming :0)
Just look what I found. Such perfect natural snowdrops.........

On a  bank of moss and fallen leaves , right at the side of the road , but you could wizz past this every day and never notice it .......

I truly gasped at its beauty ...shame it was a dull as ditch water sort of day so the pictures are a little dark( the sunny snowdrops at the top of this post were taken last week)..

These little flowers looked so beautiful just growing there in the wild , and in all honesty I'm sure I wouldn't have made the effort to stop , without you lovely lot to share the pictures with.

So that is just one example of how blog land has been such a positive thing for me . What I'm getting to is that I think it's time I had a little giveaway , by way of a thank you to all you , and to celebrate my first whole year of blogging. I put my thinking cap on  .....something light enough to send anywhere in the world ...... something pretty yet  practical for crafty types .Something to make use of some of my crochet bits and bobs..........

This is what I came up with ...

Needle cases . They are just a small gift but consequently I was able to make several .......

Five little pretties , Two with crocheted Pansy's .....

One with a granny square ....

And two with circles.........

I had great fun making these , you know I love working with felt :0)....

Now I could just do with making one for myself as they are so handy.......

If you would like to win one , just  leave me a comment on this post , and make sure I can contact you if you win. Don't be shy , it doesn't matter if you haven't commented before  .

March the 6th is my first bloggyversary so I'll draw the winners on that day....what a great way to celebrate :0)

Love Jacquie x
