It's time for a GIVEAWAY :-)

I have reached over 500 likes on my Facebook page, and to thank people for their support and kind words, I am having a giveaway... and of course I will say thank you too!

THANK YOU everyone (I shouted that from the roof top!), it's lovely to have met so many lovely people and I hope I continue to do so, and it's lovely that so many people think me work is lovely too :-D.

I will be announcing the winner round about this time next week, and the winner will be able to 'choose from one of the following options' ;-)

One of my cosmetic bags, chosen from this collection...

... or a £10 discount voucher to spend in my Etsy shop...

... or alternatively, £20 discount off one of my paper cut trees.  A Memory Tree (perfect for a new baby gift, a Christening or Baby Naming gift, a first birthday, a wedding or other occasion you would like to remember), or a Family Tree.

So, what are you waiting for?  Get yourself over to my page.  If you don't already 'like' my page, then please do so, and then leave me details of your favourite pudding (?!!) under the giveaway post.  Oh, and please do be very lovely and like it and share it with your friends.

Yey.... have a lovely Sunday evening.  Here's to week two of the summer holidays *raising glass*.  Have a lovely week :-)

I have been a busy bee!!!

In between juggling looking after the children, making food, shopping for food, tidying, tidying again... and again, etc. etc. I have also been getting stock together for Christmas, and updating my shop.

You may have noticed on my shop widget at the right hand side that I have some new products.  I had a product shoot with Michael J Oakes, so I am now (slowly) listing them in my shop.  

There are some fabulous new fabrics...

...wash bags...

... cosmetic bags... 

... halter neck pinnies

 ... shower caps...

... these are just a few things that have been listed, so please do pop over to my shop to have a closer look.

There are more products to come over the next week or so... and then I may have time to tell you about the clothkits doll that my daughter is in the process of making with my sewing machine!!!

The outcome of last weeks giveaway

Time just seems to be flying at the moment.  I can't believe it is over a week ago since my last post regarding my facebook wash bag giveaway.  Some of you may be aware how it turned out, but for those of you that don't, this was the outcome...

... I was over in Yorkshire stopping with my lovely little sister for a couple of days, so I had a couple of assistants to help me.  My sister wrote out the numbers on little pieces of paper and we decided that number 1 would be the first person after me (I was the first person to 'like' myself!!!), and we would go up the list.  My brother in law got out his hat and put the pieces of paper in his hat, my sister gave them a shake, ruffled them around, blew on them and asked her hubby to pull out her number.  Blowing on them for luck failed her, and he picked out the number 3.  We were very shocked when we looked down the list to find that it was actually my sister-in-law!!!  Well done Cheryl, and sorry to all those whose numbers were left in the hat.  

If you would still like one of these lovely bags... 

you can buy them in The Royal Exchange Gallery Craft Shop in Manchester, or in my online shop.

If you want to be kept up to date with future giveaways and offers, they will be posted on my Loula Belle At Home facebook page.  Just click on the 'like' button so that you don't miss them.

... and the runner up has chosen...

... (after much pondering a decision was made) one of my NEW Woodland Wash Bags.  These are not yet available to buy in my shop, but have been available to buy in The Royal Exchange gift shop in Manchester, which is where Gail from seventyseventyone design saw them.  Unfortunately they had sold out of them... but I do have a few more left, some will be heading to Manchester at the end of the week, but I will keep some back!!!  

I just love this print.  It is so busy, there are all sorts of different plant life, and some fabulous colours that catch your eye.  Because of this each bag is unique.  If you like them, keep your eyes peeled.  They will be available to buy in my shop very soon!

Sharing some love - my first giveaway

I just wanted to share some happiness before I jet off on holiday for a well deserved break.  

I have been very busy the past few weeks on various projects, some of which can be seen in my Folksy shop.   Here are a few examples of a few of the cosmetic bags I have been making.  I thought that someone out there would love to receive one as a gift from me.  

The giveaway is for one of my small cosmetic bags (your choice, from the selection in my Folksy shop), and no purchase is necessary...

 

... however, there are a couple of things that I request that you do in order for you to qualify entry in the draw...

... firstly you need to follow my blog (by clicking on the Google follow button on the bar at the right hand side of the page)... secondly you need to hop over to my Folksy shop have a look around and then report back.  You will need to leave a message on this blog telling me what is your favourite item in my shop, and why.

If you feel like sharing some love also, you could 'favourite' my folksy shop and the item(s) that you like.

The names of those who have entered will be drawn (from a hat... if I can find a suitable one) on Friday 16th July 2010 and announced on the evening of Saturday 17th July 2010.

Your name can be entered into the hat more than once.  For this to happen, you need to let your friends know about the giveaway, and ask them to mention your name when they leave a message on my blog.

This giveaway is open to everyone.  Good look and happy browsing.

* Just give me a shout if anything is unclear.
