... it is giveaway time here at Todolwen!
(I still can't believe I forgot my 2 year blogging anniversary ~ silly me!)
Over these last few days I have sat down and put some thought into what I could present to you as my giveaway gift and I was successful, which made me happy.
I have put together some treasures for one of you lovely bloggers that will be picked by one of my daughters.
Since I love you being creative I have not only made a creation for this giveaway but I am also including something for you to create and these are the gifts I have chosen ...

... I made some of my little flutter~bys for you and ...
... I am also adding some of my lovely vintage lace too.
... I am also adding some of my lovely vintage lace too.
And last but not least I also created a new 'Heart~Felt' for this giveaway.
It is my Dream Heart~Felt.
Every time you look it should remind you to never stop dreaming!
And those are my giveaway gifts for one of you lovely bloggers.
Oh, dear I almost forgot something again or didn't I? ... You can take part in this giveaway from all over the world and it would be nice if you were a follower but it isn't a must.
Now if you wish you can leave a comment on this post and a name will be picked on February 11th ~ I am not sure at what time though.
I would love to hear from all of you and it would be so nice if you were to visit me here at Todolwen sometime soon again.
I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.
Have a peaceful and creative day,
Karen B.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thank you for uplifting my spirits with your beautiful blog. After losing my Beautiful Mother and Precious Sister both from Breast Cancer in these last few months, I have been to sad to do anything really. I was greatly inspired by your Wee Birds and Beautiful crochet flowers and butterflies. I am going to make some I think and would like you to remember, that you just never know what little things you do that may touch someone elses life, without even knowing it. For this...I thank you. For all the good you do and joy you bring to others, no matter what, you are the truth. A kind and gentle spirit.
