Feedback from our Crap I've Made giveaway winner!

We were so thrilled to receive a wonderful testimonial from our Crap I've Made giveaway winner yesterday.

"I received the package and my kids went crazy! My little boy had this cute little turtle hat that he wore when he was a newborn that I really loved. When he put his dinosaur hat on, it brought back some really sweet memories. Thanks so much! I didn’t expect to have crayons in the crayon roll. Now I can boast being the only one I know with crayons from Australia. I also loved how the roll matched the hat. It even smelled good when I opened the package. Thank you again for your generosity".

- Linda Leary, USA

Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us, Linda! We love hearing what people think of our products! We also super duper thrilled to know that your kids loved it!

Giveaway

I have another giveaway for my amazing readers! How can I say no to hosting a giveaway when I know one of you fabulous people will win!

I love looking at homewares and furniture online; whether it's Microsoft Windows shopping (hehe) for a new vanity, lounge, kitchen or dining suite...and all the accessories that go with those big ticket items.

Accessories and homewares...so much fun to choose. I'm thrilled that CSN Stores is offering my US & Canadian readers another chance to win a $40 voucher to spend in any of their online shops. Head over to their site to see what you like.

If it was me, hmmm...what might I choose...

Le Creuset 9" Square Baking Dish with Bonus 5" Baking Dish in Caribbean

Sengware Square Plates

Le Creuset Mortar & Pestle

Birdcage Teatowel

Le Creuset Cool Tool Potholders

Flirty Aprons Girl's Apron in Blue/Chocolate

Le Creuset 14-Ounce Petite Strawberry Casserole

Can you tell I am a Le Creuset fan?!? I love these colours; the yellow, red and Carribean blue together are really gorgeous, I think. Makes a kitchen all bright and lovely.

Please leave a comment to enter :) New followers welcome! 

For a bonus entry, visit one of the CSN Stores and tell me what you would choose.

Entries close 8th July 2010.

Shipping charges may apply for Canadian readers.

Giveaway Winner!

The winner of the Charlie Moo's Party Bags is...

Lexi's Mommy! Congratulations! Please contact me so I can send you your prize :)

Everyone else stay tuned as we will have more giveaways in the future as well as some big news coming soon!

Another giveaway!

A while ago, you 'met' Joanne, of Charlie Moo's. She's one of the people featured in my ongoing Creatives series, a series that, in true creative fashion, is not bound by a regular schedule but instead added to rather haphazardly :)

Joanne is an inspirational entrepeneur. You can read more about Joanne and her exciting business here. Recently she won Dorset Business Mum of the Year 2010. Congrats, Joanne!

Joanne's primary focus at Charlie Moo's is party bags and good quality toys to fill them with!

Thanks to Joanne and her genorosity, I have 2 cute handmade fabric Charlie Moo's Party Bags to give away; they will both go to one lucky recipient anywhere in the world.

CUTE, huh? Perhaps you know a child that could use them to collect precious treasures in; perhaps as a treat bag for your own children; as a jump start on more Charlie Moo's bags for an upcoming birthday; maybe as part of a stocking stuffer or gift bag in your Christmas/birthday stash.

Tell me I am not the only person with a gift stash. Please.

At the moment Charlie Moo's is not organising International orders through their site...but a little birdie tells me if you contact Joanne directly, something may be able to be organised for International fans.

To enter: please leave a comment! I will announce the winner here on my blog next Tuesday, please include your email address in your comment if you do not have a public profile so I can let you know the good news! I will send to any normal address worldwide.

If you want to be really wonderful, followers can head over to Charlie Moo's; pick your fave item and come back here to tell us what it is and why for a bonus entry (separate comment). Feel free to become a follower for this purpose!

I'm sure Joanne would love to hear your feedback!

Thank you so much to everyone that has entered my giveaway. Thank you to my regular readers for your support, and to my new readers - welcome!!! I like you already :D

Now, for the drum roll...

The winner is...

Chris from Pickup Some Creativity! 

Congratulations, Chris! Please email me so I can pass on your details to CSN Stores so you may receive your prize!

I've been a follower of Chris' blog for a while now, it's great! Make sure you go and check it out.

Stay tuned for another giveaway coming soon - this time open to readers from everywhere! Also I have some exciting news that I can't wait to share with you guys and some brand new project ideas.

To all the mothers out there - have a Happy Mother's Day!

Giveaway!

I'm really grateful for my wonderful readers. I just love getting your emails and comments, and I love exploring your blogs too! So when I was approached to do a giveaway, I just had to say yes! Mostly because you guys are fantastic and I want you to get PRESENTS! Haha.

The really great thing about Tempest Ahoy's very first giveaway is that YOU can choose what it is; whether it involves track lighting, soft furnishings, lamps, decals, whatever!

CSN Stores has been kind enough to offer one of my US/Canadian readers a $40 (US) gift voucher to spend online. You'll be sent the gift certificate to use as you wish on any of their 200 + websites.  Feel free to put it towards a larger purchase if you like. 


Here are some suggestions (in other words, what I might choose if I was able to be the lucky winner). My selections are each under $40. How great is their range?!?
