Crafty Loops

Ok Folks, we have our winners.  PLEASE READ HOW THE WINNER WAS FAIRLY DRAWN. My hubby picked the winners.  He doesnt know anyone on here and was in no way swayed by me.  I didnt look until he told me to look!  I didnt want to have to write down over 160 names, so I asked my hubby to pick from the computer.  To make it completely fair so people at the top and bottom had a chance he scrolled up and down the blog page without watching the screen, randomly stopped and then pointed randomly at the screen.  So wherever his finger fell that was the winner.  If he went between comments.....he tried again....and again!!  Until we finally got fair winners.  These names were picked completely fairly without me seeing. So without further ado..............DRUM ROLL............. The first BIG Blog Candy goes to.........Wendy from Flowergirl Cards And the Second Prize goes to ............Sandy from Sandys Crafty Bits Congratulations ladies, if you would please contact me through the contact

Ive decided to offer a SECOND Candy!!!!! NOW CLOSED! Ok folks, thats right.  You have read the above correctly.  I have decided to give a SECOND candy to someone.  I thought since I had so many people join the candy that I had to put together another wee prize.  This one of course wont be as big as the BIG CANDY, but it still has lovely goodies in it which I hope the lucky winner will like. Ive tried to co-ordinate this second giveaway so it will make a nice little project.  But then the winner can do what they want with it, of course. So, heres whats up for grabs for the SECOND candy prize.  BY THE WAY.......you dont have to do anything to get this.  Everyone who has entered the big candy will get the chance to win this candy also.  So if you have commented on the Biggie one, no need to do anything else.  Im just showing you whats in this one. Im going to show you a few collective photos then some close ups of a few of the bits and pieces. Part of the 2nd prize goodies

Well folks I did promise I'd be back with a few more bits and pieces to add to my candy.  So there are some more flowers......obviously (some of my brand new fresh from the "Batcave" ones) and papers, cardstock etc.  Have a look. REMEMBER - this candy closes at 6pm Friday 21st October......thats TODAY!!  So hurry up, you dont have long to enter.  I will pick a WINNER shortly thereafter.  Oh.......get me with her "thereafter"!!  You'd never know I worked for a law firm and then a Barrister, would you!! Right, down to the good stuff, heres whats being added to the box of goodies, I really hope whoever wins likes everything.  I have put a great deal of thought into these goodies and hope it will be useful. Heres a wee mix of paper and card from Payper Box Close up of the paper/cardstock Heres a collective look at the rest of the extra goodies 3 Dolly pegs for lace or ribbons A reel of stripy multi-colour ribbon 2 of My Very Brand New..

Empty tape roll to Ribbon Storage You all know the tape I'm talking about.  Look.....this one.....done there in the photo.  I love the super sticky red tape (If that's its name....it is in my house!) and it really pained me to throw away the plastic ring it was stored on.  So I have been storing them up in a drawer.  And here is what I decided to use them for........ MY RIBBONS AND FIBRES.......YEAH!!!! See?  I'm so chuffed with this. Makes me feel good that Im doing my bit for up-cycling and my ribbons and fibres aren't stuck in a bag all scrunched up and they look scrummy........theyr'e certainly better looking than that ugly door of mine, heehee! If you don't have an over door hook "thingy" just stick a few tacks, nails or even some of the wee foam backs hooks onto your door and hang them from that. That's it for tonight folks.  I have a few things to add to my candy which I will show you soon. Toodles Noodles,....Lee aka

New bling flower centres Ive made....and more fabric flowers Ohhh look at the pretty flower centres I've made I really hope you are not sick of seeing my flowers.......but its what I enjoy making and do best.  I've made these flowers....some you will recognise like the large Whipped creams and large floating meringues and some you may not have seen.  But they all have new flower centres that I've come up with.  Aren't they just so blingy and scrumptious?  I love them.  And they are so easy to make. I bought some bling mesh which you'll have already seen from my previous post.  Remember?  I bought it from Fiona Jennings. I just love her store.  I was on the other night and bought her out of dolly pegs and a few other bits and pieces, heehee.  I was on earlier and she has some amazing flowers on for sale....they put mine to shame!! Anyway, I cut a little strip off the mesh.  Took one of my large 15mm flat back pearls and hot glued it to a piece of card
