My 2 year Blogger-versary and giveaway ! ...

2 years ago today , i began this blog .
Quite by chance that i did start it ,
as i had just read about it in a magazine -
and i decided to create one that evening ,
just to see , and not really intending to stay
on here as long - truth be told ....
Two years on now , and so many things have
changed , my style of work , how i see things and
hopefully write a little better than i did at the
beginning ! Although i know i`m not one to go on
about things - all around the houses so to speak -
i can be abrupt in descriptions , but that`s my way ,
and what makes me unique ;o)
So - i have a give away to celebrate - in
true blogger fashion !!
I was up late last night creating this - as the date
dawned on me at 10pm ! So here is what i made
and i hope you like it ....
A soft leather deep red " wallet "
Size 8.25 x 4.75 "
That has a sewn thin strap to tie ,
with a handcut flower and vintage button trim .
It is a deeper red than the photo







Lovely red suede on the inside ..





And hand sewn edges ...





Perfect for keeping papers , cheque book
passport / holiday items in etc etc ....

To have a chance to win this ..
Please comment and say what you would use
it for - then i will use the random number
generator and announce the winner on
Wednesday 13th May .


Oh - and if you spread the word -
let me know and ..
you go in for 2 chances to win !

A huge thank you to all who visit me -
i have met and made many new friends -
and my life is richer with you all in it !

I'm so happy I get to go first!! :)

Wishing you a very happy blog-o-versary my little magpie -- two years is a record (for me who changes blogs like some people change their underwear!!) and I think it's natural that you would change and grow as you have blogged through those years.

I adore this little wallet...and you know me and red...I love me some red!! What would I use it for? Well, since I'm one who shoves receipts and ATM receipts and all her papers into her bag willy-nilly, I think if I had this I would use it for that and no more scrambling around when I need to return something!!!

I'll blog about this too -- over the weekend.

(and I owe you some emails..I haven't forgotten..I'm just way behind!!!) xoxoxo

Two years? That is great, congratulations :) Thank you for offering such a beautiful giveaway too, I love red, love red leather and I love what you have created.
I just sat for about 2 mins thinking what i would use it for LOL, my mind went blank. As a wallet of course, but then I don't carry much cash, so then I was thinking to fit my ATC collection, that would be great:)

Wow, 2 years of blogging already?! Congrats! The wallet's lovely. Why, it'll be handy for a stash of cash and cards when I go to the shops.

That is one tasty prize. It's quite large too, I think I would use it to store my two journals (I keep a gratitude one and a daily one), they are usually small-ish in size and it would be especially useful for keeping them together when I'm travelling. I will mention it over on my blog a little later today, this kind of thing is definitely for sharing.

Congratulations on two years of blogging! I love RED! I have a very small note pad I take with me everywhere (has a lovely Chagall painting on the outside). It gets lost and this would be just the place for it to live. If large enough, perhaps a hankie or two!

Congratulations! You have a lovely blog and I shall return often to enjoy your posts.
I would keep my tiny coin purse, lip gloss and keys - perfect for me! And red is one of my fav colors!
Thank you for your generosity :)
