Blog Candy - Now Closed!

I am excited to tell you that today an article I wrote for my school newspaper "Crowlands Crunchers" was published! I wrote the article about my blog and also my challenge website Crafty Monkey's which I co-run with my friend Hannah.

Here is a copy of the page from the newsletter. You will need to click it to read. Sorry for the poor quality but we couldn't get it to scan very well.

I asked my Mum if I could have some blog candy when my counter hits 5000.. Well it's nearly there and with my article being published today thought it was time to celebrate now.

To enter my blog candy please leave a comment on this post and help spread the word by posting about my candy on your blog. My blog candy includes K&Company Brenda Walton Designer Mat Pad, Wooden hearts, an acrylic calendar stamp and the cute fox stamp. I will also make a special card for you and my Mum will stamp some Hanglar images. If you do not have a blog don't worry just email me and I will include you in the draw.

zoe.fairbairn@googlemail.com

The closing date for my candy is Saturday 31st January.

Good Luck!

love,

xxx

My candy draw is now closed
