competition overspill

Hi everyone – flippin’heck!!! How many comments??!!

My blog appears to be struggling to keep up and I know that some of you have had trouble leaving a comment on the previous post so leave one here instead and you can still be entered for the competition. What have I done? There’s a week of snipping and folding bits of paper ahead of me!!!
Seriously, thanks for all of your lovely coments.

My competition is now closed to new entries, I’ll be drawing the winner shortly and will post tomorrow, thanks!

  11. Julie-Your toys are beautiful. I have a little one-year-old daughter who would love one. I am crossing my fingers right now….but if luck doesn’t go my way I’ll have to make sure to get up extra early and be on-line when they are for sale in the shop. 🙂 Cheers to your 100th!

  12. Your toys remind me of my son’s ‘Teddy Ellie’ as he called him. We got ‘Teddy Ellie’ from a school Jumble Sale (in the days B4 Car Boot Sales). Anyway… my son Ben is now 14 going on 15 & ‘Teddy Ellie’ is practically the only cuddly he’s kept (sad but true). So, THANKS for reminding me… I’m off to make a scrapbook LO about it & will definately be including your blog/competition on it. Bye….

  15. Hi Julie!
    Well I missed out on the last chance at your little darling bunnies, so I thought I’d post now for another attempt. I must learn to arrange my schedule around your sale as I was a tad bit late, and alas the buunies had hopped away! :^) I think this speaks highly of you, and I can be counted in as one of your fans!

  22. Wow! You do have quite a following… I am reading your blog from Canada – and enjoying every bits of it. I lived in London between 1983 and 1984, and I miss England. So your writings brings me back to this happy time. I have been trying to get pregnant, and would love to welcome the little one with a little bunny or polar bear. After a miscarriage, I am ready to start again. I am a bit worried about genetic problems, being in my 40s. And then I read your stories and watch your pictures and you give me courage and hope. Keep on!
