Crafty in the Med

I am here to enjoy meeting other bloggers and to share my love of craft ,mostly crochet, my thoughts and my daily happenings here in Alicante,Spain, my adopted country. I belong to a local choir because singing and music makes me happy. Flea markets and book shops are two of my favourite places to be. I read lots......sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I walk and walk and walk for about 10 months per year during the hot months I swim.

On my previous post here I announced my intention to celebrate my 2nd blogiversary with a GIVEAWAY

I have been thinking you see just how marvallous it is that you actually visit and read my blog and that some of you even follow it too!
It does so much for me ,in many ways,therefore I really think this occasion is a good one to give back in some small way for the warm support you have give me and also to say........THANK YOU!


Now then down to the nitty gritty and first of all what is in my giveaway .........


I regret to tell you its a surprise
SURPRISE
SURPRISE  and
SURPRISE

You are going to have to risk your all my dear bloggers and jump in at the deep end.......


 The giveaway goodies will be craft orientated of course but you will not know what they are until three days after the winner is announced. The winner will be chosen via Random Number generator on 24th August and by 27th August I shall post the winner's prize. 

Now that gives you plenty of time for you to decide if you wish to take the plunge!
It gives you time to evaluate the risks.
It gives you time to think of the possibilities and ask yourselves:
 Will Amanda send the winner a bag of bubble gum,or a Cath Kidston everlasting gift voucher or balls of Catania cotton in exotic colours or a piñata full of dishclothes or 100grams of the Qiviut yarn from the Alaska muskoxen or perhaps the key to an apartment on the Costa Blanca coast;basket of yarn included?
 Ahhh well! all will be revealed on 27th August! 
You just have to trust me!

This 2nd blogiversary giveaway is open to all the world and beyond as usual.  However you do have to be a follower of my blog to enter,. You can check if you already are a follower or wish to become one using  the Google friend connect widget at the top of the page on the right hand side bar of my blog. 
Should you wish to be entered twice please give a mention on your blog and link to this giveaway . 



 Happy blogging :-)

Amanda

Then I went on to read that you were having a surprise giveaway..... I love surprises, there is nothing like receiving a parcel in the post which you did not expect to receive..... and then I scrolled down to leave a comment, and my word, there are so many lovely comments, which you must be thrilled to pieces with. I would love to add my name to your long list of friends as it is exciting to be entered.

      IMO you comment when you want to say something not because you have to. If you see blogging as having to do it (a mistake I myself was making) then it becomes a chore and tedious. I want my followers and blogmates to participate in my giveaway if they would like to so I make sure they get notified I am having one.

  78. I am taking the plunge....and evaluating the risk while falling, it's definitely worthwhile to take the risk if you trust the person.
    Thinking of the possibilities and asking myself...do I love bubblegum YES I DO!..can the pinata full of dishcloths come in handy, yes indeed I NEVER have enough!!

    Thanks so much for the surprise givI
