Things That Made Me Smile

I wasn’t planning on posting today but I just had to pop in to say this: I LOVE blogging! I’ve been feeling pretty down this past week (nothing too serious, just a bit stressed and I’ve an old health complaint playing up) and today seemed like it  was just going to be another crappy one. Not so, because when I logged into my emails this morning I had a couple of wonderful little surprises waiting for me! 

Remember last week’s blog party? Well a few talented and gracious bloggers doubled up their wonderful party posts as giveaways. And guess what, I won not one but two of them. Yes two! How lucky am I?! Well usually not very, quite the opposite in fact. I never win anything, but now two prizes in the one day! They say these things come in threes, so I really better play the lotto this week.

Just look at what I’ve won too. Firstly I found out I am to be the fortunate recipient of one of these spooky yet adorable painted eggs from the lovely Melissa at Ardoria Studios. Aren’t they fantastic? If you like them then check out Melissa’s blog.

As soon as I’d got the good news from Melissa another little message appeared in my inbox from Belinda of Bel’s Nook who has awarded me, wait for it, a witch’s journal! I have to admit, I’ve been slacking with my journaling recently but now that I’ve won this amazing handmade creation I’ll have to get right back into it. I just love this little artisan book! Please go visit Belinda too for a healthy dose of Halloween goodness.

Anyway, I just want to say go raibh mile, MILE, maith agaibh to you ladies! You have really cheered me up no end and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
