Blogaversary (a month late)!

For some reason I wrote on my kitchen calendar that today (May 19) was my blogaversary . In fact, it was last month. On the 19th.

But I never did post about it then. Oh dear. So deciding it was better a month later than never, I now announce another Eco-bag Giveaway because this blog is TWO! I wonder if the terrible twos will become evident. Hmmmm.

*wooosh to blow out candles*

The only catch is - I haven't made the bags yet! Heh heh :-) I think I'll commit to making 4 bags, and if I feel in the groove I shall make more.

This month, I've enjoyed reading The Pillow Book of Sei Shonogon. It's a Japanese classic written by a lady in waiting somewhere between 1001-1010. She liked to write lists.

So in order to enter the giveaway I would like you to write a list (short or long) on one of these topics.

You can do this in a comment or on your blog.

If you do post it on your blog, please let me know in a comment.

  • Splendid Things
  • Things that make one's heart beat faster
  • Things that should be large
  • Awkward things
I hope that isn't too hard! I think they could be interesting prompts for a scrapbooking LO.

Note: I will post to overseas in this giveaway.
note 2: As the bags are not yet made, I cannot say when they will be posted. So I'm not promising quick service here ;-) Like the ad says, it might not happen immediately but it will happen.

Edited to add: I'll close off the competition on Sunday 25th at midnight NZ time.

  2. Happy blogaversary for last month.
    They sound like cool things to make a list about too. I might just do one or two of those but don't put me in the draw cos I already have one of your awesome baggies - not that I wouldn't love another one but I'm not being greedy lol.

  3. Things that make one's heart beat faster. (Lots of things).
    - My husbands kind words
    - My kids saying "I love you Mum" (the sweetest words you'll ever hear).
    (basically my family)
    And then of course there is walking into a scrapbooking shop (looking over your shoulder to make sure DH is still in the corner with the kids and not seeing your ever growing stash LOL).
    I know there is many more but thats the ones that come off the top of my head..
