Hi Everyone!


I hope you are all having a wonderful day!
I am celebrating 200 subbies on my YT channel, so i thought i would also have a giveaway on my blog too..
the Blog giveaway is a little different to the YT giveaway as i have shown on my Video the goodies that is up for grabs.
I am going to let whoever wins the blog giveaway choose there on goodies from My favorite craft site the link is below


http://www.cuttingedgecrafts.co.uk/

you can spend £25.00 on the web site on whatever products you wish.
If the winner is from the UK then I will get the items delivered straight to you.
If  your from overseas I will place your order, then ship it to you, as cutting edge crafts has free P&P so i doubt  they will post internationally.
After I draw the winner i will contact you asking what items you want, i will need a good description and the SKU number.
