And the winners are...

How many of you have responded on my give-away! Too many to write down, but our printer and computers seem to have a row, they mysteriously won't communicate with eachother. Leaving me with no possibility to do the old-fashioned draw from a bowl, no possility to let my hands go through the papers and chose one by feeling that it's the one. Instead of that, I made two lists in Excel, and let the computer chose randomly. It feels a bit empty, but it does the trick.

The first draw for the metal set...

... is won by Norma of Make Mine Mini! To my surprise, as some of my work already has found the way to her home.

The second draw, for the wooden set...

... is won by Genevieve from Miniacollection!

Congratulations both of you! Genevieve, I send you an e-mail for your address. So little Lucie will be able to play in the snow with her new sledge soon!

Thank you all for participating!

~♥~ Give-away! ~♥~

To celibrate that over 200 people chose to follow my blog (can you believe that?!?), I have prepared a give-away...

Two hundred has a 2 in it, so I made two sets of gifts, both in winter/Christmas-style. The wooden set contains a sledge (as some of you already had guessed), a box and some candy-canes (well, it needed some colour). By the way: if your car needs new windscreenwipers, don't trow away the old ones! Those have a rustproof iron strip, which can be very useful, for instance for irons on a sledge...

The second set is the metal set: a angel to hang, a decorative tree and a candlestick.

To enter the give-away you need to be a follower and leave a comment on this post before December the 5th (Dutch time). You may anounce this give-away on your blog and use these pictures for that, but you don't need to.

In the Netherlands we celibrate Saint Nicolaas on December the 5th. It's the origin of Santa Claus. It's a party where children get presents and families give eachother presents. A perfect day to draw the winners. I will write the names down of all contenders twice and get a bowl for each set. If you said to have a preference for the wooden or the metal set, I will put both papers with your name in that bowl. If you have no preference, each bowl gets one paper with your name. So you all have the same chance to win. (And no, it's not possible to win both sets)

Good luck to you all!

Welcome & Preparation of give-away

I have been silent for a while, only showing Norma's wonderful gift, but not my own work. But I have been busy and still am!!! I saw the number of my followers getting close to 200 and then passing it! A year ago, when I started this blog, I would not believed it if someone would have told me that I would get so many followers! I am preparing a Christmas&winter themed give-away, but I'm not ready yet, so here some hints to make you curious:

So let me welcome my new followers:

I hope you will continu to like my blog!

Gift from Norma!

Some time ago I send Norma some items, and she told me that she would make me a swap. She made me a daybed for the beachhouse:

Isn't it just lovely? The matress can be reversed, and the other side has the complementary fabric:

The beachhouse is still under construction and quite empty, so I have nothing yet to show the daybed in a scene, except for the kitchentiles. But the colours mix so well!
