We have a winner!

Just for once the cards in this household were not made by me! Today is my birthday and today my kids made the artwork to celebrate my special day. I am a very lucky mummy and have been treated to a lovely card with some monsters on it (not too sure what to make of that one!), and a graphic card wishing me "happy birthday to-you". Of course I am thrilled with them and feel very spoilt today. My husband came up trumps too. The cake that you can see above is a family recipe and a very yummy one too, and the flowers arrived shortly after he left for work. A big thank you to all the boys in my life.

Well, today was the big day! The draw for my very first blog giveaway! Thank you so much for all your kind comments. My kids were very excited to pick out a name, and without further ado, I am excited to tell you that the winners are the Leavitt's! Well done the Leavitt's, I will mail you to get your address so that you can be the proud owners of some 'Handmade in Israel' art and other goodies. I hope that you will enjoy your package.As a final birthday treat, I was delighted to find that Laurie at Twice Shy Restored had included me in a beautiful Etsy treasury this weeekend. My 'Birds' papercut picture can be seen below, on the bottom row, on the left. Thank you for making my special day even more exciting, Laurie!
