Giveaway Gifts
This week is blog giveaway time! Last week I celebrated my
birthday. I’ve had far too many to count the candles, but I had a wonderful
party on the weekend with my family - with an indulgent birthday cake, favourite foods cooked by my husband and great company. ( In case you were wondering about the writing on the cake , Por Por = Chinese grandmother)
As it is also winter here in
Gift 1 - two little fabric matryshoka dolls Gift 2- a little bag made from colourful teapot and teacup fabric . The design is called a jester bag, but it is suitable for carrying small craft projects, a tea cup or even some tea making supplies!
Gift 3 - four little tags I made for Tag Tuesday much earlier in the year, for the 'snow' theme.
Here are the details applying to this giveaway.

There are many songs about fruit cakes - not all of them referring to the Christmas cake we know and love.It is really surprising to learn via Google that there are 89 listed songs with references to Christmas cake or fruit cake - not all of them complimentary. Probably one of the most famous folk songs about Christmas cake is Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake (a favourite sung by The Irish Rovers). This first recorded comical Christmas song was written by C Frank Horn in 1883 in Pennsylania, as a variation of an Irish folk song, 'Miss Mulligan's Christmas Cake' . The chorus might give you the hint that Miss Fogarty's cake was not for the faint hearted or those who suffered from a weak stomach. Chorus : There were plums and prunes and cherries, There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too There was nutmeg, cloves and berries And a crust that was nailed on with glue There were caraway seeds in abundance Such that...
Happy Belated Birthday! Fingers crossed for me, hope I win :)

Happy birthday for last week! Your cake made me smile because it's the kind of cake my mum would love and my children call my mum Por Por too. They have insisted that when I am a grandma, that I must also be called Por Por.
