It's Been Just Over a Year.......Let's Celebrate with a Give Away!

Life has been quite full and busy over the past few weeks and I apologise for not tending to updating my blog a little earlier............. still, can you believe it's been just over a year since we arrived here.  Thankyou to all of you who have followed with us during this busy time...
 - you've seen us planting gardens that have been growing well,

Building sheds, chook pen,  ponds & putting in the water tank,

Saying goodbye to 2 of our beloved dogs,

Taken part in the wonderful dishcloth swap so many of you enjoyed;,  Preserving and Sewing for the home and friends,

And seen me start up a little business selling my homemade soaps (thankyou to the Aussie gals who have been placing orders from Brisbane through to Victoria and sorry I'm unable at this stage to fill international orders - love you all lots).

And of course you watched and prayed as we battled with flood waters and rain damage

So now we are into our second year and Autumn is here with the leaves  falling and the cooler weather beginning, thankfully, we have the wood all stockpiled ready for the frosty weather  to keep the fire burning bright and warm inside

 while I hopefully work on a bit more organization........ hmmm, seems I have a few UFO's that need attention............. but on a good note - yes, today I finally completed the quilt for Stacey (double bed size)

And yes, I do have a few pen pal letters and Robins to get to........... sorry girls, the pen pal letters will be tended to this week & new robins will be happening over the next couple weeks.

So, to say thankyou  for all your support (which has come via comments, emails & snail mail, and verbally from some of you at work LOL)  and to celebrate the start of our second year here in Bundalong - I thought I'd do a little give away. It's open to everyone, no matter where you live as I know my support comes from all over the world.............. to go into the drawer all you need do is  leave me a comment, + mention my give away on your blog and you gain an extra entry (don't forget to let me know ).  There will be 5 various prizes up for grabs............... have fun :)  Entries close 31st May (Australian date).

Love & Hugs to you all,   Sharm xox
