POST 1,000

This is the 1,000th post on this blog and to celebrate I'm doing a little give-away. Just things that fit in a small envelope and will bring a small smile when they plop through the letterbox.
 I learned my lesson about give-aways on the old blog when I had a big pile of books to giveaway on my 500th post which went to someone who never commented again not even to say they had received them. So this time it's just little bits and bobs......... 4 different themes so just pick which one you could make use of.

1.A few card blanks, envelopes and toppers for birthday cards

 2. A cross stitch kit and some DMC Threads
 3. Two little books
 4. Some seeds


Leave a comment with your name and which item you would like and I'll do the name-in-a-hat (plastic tub) thing on Sunday. Sorry UK ONLY -  I can't do overseas it's just too expensive nowadays.



Back Tomorrow
Sue

  5. Congratulations! I would love to read those wartime cook books please. I haven't done a giveaway for years the last one was a silk scarf that took me a lot of work and time and the recipient didn't acknowledge it, I had to ask her if it had arrived safely and it appeared she did not want it or value it at all... I know that feeling :) I organised a few swaps too - they were fun.

  6. I don't comment, but I do read you every day. I'd love the seeds and will use them or pass them on to someone else, so they don't go to waste.

  31. Congratulations on reaching 1000 posts, it's a brilliant achievement. I've done numerous giveaways in the past and all bar one have let me know things have arrived and thanked me either in my comments or via email ... it's just rude not to isn't it.

    I would love you to enter me into the cross-stich draw ... I've not done any cross-stitch since I made my Mum a little needle-case at primary school, so it would be a challenge, but one I would love to have a go at. (I'll even show the finished article for you to have a laugh at ;-) )

  32. Congratulations, wow 1000 posts and I've read them all, and the old blog too!!

Love reading everyday though. Good luck to everyone for the giveaway!

  60. It's a miracle that I am alive today. I encountered HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV1/2) for four (4) years, before I met the great Dr.Vadi I am Leslie Jordan  from Fresno California, united state of America and I was affected with herpes virus. Herpes is a viral infection caused by the Herpes simplex virus, marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membrane or on the genitals. This was what I suffered for four years. I have visited CVS Pharmacy in Fresno for treatment but no improvement. I meet Dr. Vadi online while I was searching for a herpes cure I read a testimony about his work. I give a try that now becomes a testimony in my life and is now fully cured. kindly contacted Dr Vadi via   WhatsApp  +2348074133083 or  email him on doctorvadi@yahoo.com  
    And here is my email address in case you wanna know more about this doctor, verawhite421@gmail.com

Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I wasNEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier.

  67. I was diagnosed of HERPES Virus in 2017 and I have tried all I can to get cured but all to no avail, until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbalist man who prepare herbal medication to cure all kind of diseases including HERPES virus, at first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try , when i contact this herbalist and he prepared a HERPES herbal cure and sent it to me via FEDEX delivery company service, when i received this herbal cure, he gave me step by directions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was totally cured of this horrible disease within 17days of usage, i went to the hospital for a test and it was negative. I can tell to the public now that am now free from the horrible disease called herpes, all thanks to Dr.Ebhota that is why I want to leave his email address and What's app contact just if you want to contact him for help. you reach this great herbal doctor via his email on (drebhotasolution@gmail.com)website on: https://drebhotasolution.wixsite.com/drebhotaherbalhome / One thing I like about Dr Ebhota is honesty. His very polite with his customers, everything he told me was what he did. His herbal medicine are very affordable, effective, confidential.
