I tossed a coin

There were only 2 takers for my 1, 2, 3, giveaway game but 2 is better than none at all and I hope that the giveaway will move on and on to other bloggers so I can trace it all the way for as long as possible.

I tossed a coin to find out the winner of the first parcel, having designated one person 'heads' and the other 'tails', and the winner is Pam from 'A New Life in Wales'.

Pam will you email me your address please and Crafty Caroline do you have a blog? If you do, perhaps I could do another parcel for you too. If you don't, please email me your address and tell me what you had your eye on and I'll see if I can find something for you.

From my seat

I'm at DD's and DH is fixing gates while I babysit the pusscats. In front of me is this little bundle of fluff. I say little because he's only a kitten but he's really rather on the large size and he's going to grow very BIG.

Maine Coon

Oriental shorthair

British lilac shorthair

I have a book on my knee which I'm dipping into every so often between stroking and playing with the cats.

The shopper came from the CS and is very lightweight. I bought it to hold my dancing shoes but it's come in handy as a quick 'throw it in' bag when grabbing things to go out at short notice.

Love to all.

PS 1. Don't forget to comment if you wish to join in the 1, 2, 3 giveaway and pass it on game. If there's only 2 takers I shall be tossing a coin at the weekend.

2. I've enjoyed visiting some new blogs this week and have found some new ideas.

One, Two, Three out of Ten

Let's play a never ending chain game. Here's the game and you can only score up to three out of ten. Everybody wins. Good game? Why not join in. Here's my idea.

I have put together 10 items, homemade, given or thrifted from the CB or CS. There is only one item that is new to me. I will send these items to one person who may choose up to three items to keep. They will then have to replace those chosen with some items of their own (no edibles or perishables please). Now it will be their turn to post on their blog to find another recipient. Once found they will send them ten items with the directions I have just outlined (I've repeated them in italics at the end of this post.)

My ten items are:-

1. A frilly, knitted scarf

2 - 6.  A Christmas stamp, dolphin cutter, wooden bookmark, fancy paper notebook and a pink necklace.

7 - 10. A crochet book, a packet of Christmas or greetings card blanks with envelopes, a new hair slide and an Egyptian themed stamp

This idea may or may not get off the ground as it depends on who is interested and who wishes to spend money on posting a small parcel. I'll set up a page to record each step of the parcel's journey and we should be able to view quite a few new to us blogs along the way.

So here are the directions for the:-

One, two, three out of Ten Chain Game

1. Leave a comment to be in with a chance of receiving the parcel.

2. Choose up to one, two or three things from the parcel and replace the items to make ten.

3. Comment on the One, Two, Three out of Ten Chain Game page when you've received and sorted out your new package and posted on your blog.

4. Decide whether to post just to the UK or to the world!

4. In your post make sure you have these directions.

I am only posting to the UK because of the weight of my package so my apologies to readers from across the seas.

Please leave a comment if you wish to have a chance of receiving this parcel.
