Everybody wins a prize

I don't quite know how this happened, but it's been over a week since my last post! As you no doubt know, if you have clicked back here over that time to find out what I'm up to, only to discover that the answer is quite plainly Not Blogging.

It was a race to the finish line with my secondment, as these things always are, and then there were various other things like a daytrip to the Bungle Bungles, and an evening movie - Baz Luhrman's Australia, under the stars, and does anyone else agree with me that Nicole Kidman is a TERRIBLE actor in that film - and then a dinner with all the other secondees, plus a few other things .... time really fell away from me.

I will post updates on all those things (perhaps with the exception of the film) over the coming days.

But the most important question is surely: who won the giveaway??

I did promise that I would draw it last Saturday. And draw it I have: the winner is DOINA, from Romania! Doina, please email me your postal address - I am at flickettysplits@gmail.com

BUT there is more. Because I have been so slack and spent all my time working when I should have been blogging, I realise I have let you down. I promised I would draw the giveaway last Saturday - over a week ago! - and I didn't.

So, if you left a comment on that giveaway page, you are now eligible to receive a souvenir tea-towel of your own. Yes that's right, everyone who left a comment now gets a tea-towel. So please email me your best postal address, to flickettysplits@gmail.com.

I look forward to hearing from you! And also to catching up on my blogging in the next few days .....

It's giveaway time on My Creative Space

I'm having a giveaway, quite randomly, just because I feel like it. 

As you know, my creative space is limited at the moment (due to the absence of time, space and sewing machine) - so I rather feel like adding to someone else's instead. I figure, I'm lucky enough to be having this wonderful experience at the top end of Australia, why not share the love?

So on offer here is this magnificent linen tea towel purchased freshly from Walkbout Souvenirs in the Kununurra Coles arcade. See those vibrant colours! Behold the cutesy pictures! It's a perfect addition to your kitchen or your collection, whichever you'd prefer.

I'm also including a brand-new wide-brimmed canvas hat branded with the Kimberley TAFE WA logo, and a Kimberley TAFE WA water bottle, both of which I received as part of my 4WD training program at the Kimberley TAFE WA a week or so ago.

Sure, maybe these TAFE items aren't exactly your thing and you'll end up donating them to one of the boys or men in your life. But on the other hand, maybe you have a secret collection of TAFE-branded products that you've never told anyone about, and it's stored in a box at the very back of your cupboard, and every now and again when no one's home you get it out and go through it lovingly and admire your items .... how happy would you be to win these two things THEN!?

Ahem.

The rules are simple, to enter the giveaway you have to:

• 
  
  join up as a follower (if you're a follower already then you're halfway there) AND
• 
  
  leave a comment on this post telling me your favourite travel destination and why

I'll draw the giveaway randomly next weekend, and I will post this package anywhere in the world, so don't be shy!

Better late than never? My SEWN giveaway

Gosh, four days without a decent interweb connection really puts a dent in the blogging, doesn't it?

We're home now in Melbourne - I have SO many thing to tell you about (dinner sets, and Coonabarabran, and vanilla slices) - but first I am posting my SEWN giveaway which I meant to do ages ago and completely forgot about. Oops.... I received kindly email reminder this morning and immediately felt terribly guilty. I'm sorry, SEWN! I know you are a great new sewing site and you deserve much better than this!

But also, you know, sometimes forgetting is good, because it means you can give away things that you wouldn't have otherwise had. (See how I'm justifying this? See? It's a long shot, I know.)

Take this lovely whale teatowel from Coffs Harbour for example. Now, if I'd blogged this giveaway before we went on holiday, as I intended to do, I wouldn't have been able to include it, would I? And it's lovely - pure linen, just like the Kangaroo tea towel which came from our
Mildura trip back in March.

So there we have it, two little pieces of Australia, all yours for the taking. International readers, no problems with postage, I'd love these to go to faraway shores!

You know the rules, just join up as a follower if you aren't one already, and if you ARE one, just leave me a comment below this post. I'd love to know what you might do with them ....

There's only a couple of days until this giveaway is drawn, on June the 8th, so you'll have to be quick!
