Happy Birthday Blog...

A very good morning to all our lovely bloggy buds...we're in party mood in the cubbyhole...yes this little old blog is...
years old today...
and we're so chuffed that you decided to pop in and help us celebrate.  Let me rephrase that...I'm your ultimate party animal and can't wait for the nibbles and the fun to begin...on the other hand the old crafty girl is looking slightly less enthusiastic...in fact she's feeling as though she flew all the way home hanging onto the wing of the plane and to be truthful by the look of her this morning...I'm inclined to agree.
23rd February 2008 was the day my old crafty Mum embraced the latest technology and started a blog and HERE was her very first post....short and sweet which you have to admit is unusual but hey once she got into her stride there was no shutting her up...how quickly time passes when you're having fun and we've had a ball....made lots of new bloggy friends sadly most of whom we will probably never meet...shared happy and sad times together and we're truly amazed by all the fabulous talent and inspiration in blogland and how kind and generous everyone is...a huge thank you to all our followers...all 1463 of you...without you we're basically just talking to ourselves...we love when you come to call and leave us lots of bloggy hugs. This is post number 1821...blimey that's a shed load of chatting and uploading photos and we've passed the 3/4 million hits mark but don't forget we're a team and she couldn't have done it without yours truly...always ready to step into the breach when Mum has a meltdown "don't have time to blog" day.
But hey let's get the party started and we can't have a party without some parcels....yummy goodies to give-away thanks to our lovely buddies ANDREA & MARY at...
a yummy delicious bundle of LACE...
from our lovely CRAFTWORK CARDS buddies...
SUE & JULIE
Build a Bloom and Candi Alphabet Clear Stamps
and a selection of yummy Candi to play with including the delicious Newsprint
and from Mum and Me....a bumper parcel of goodies...oh yes I had a little crafty shop while my Mistress was off gallivanting...but it's a surprise...
Edited to add: The Furry Boy's parcel of goodies has just arrived from The Glitter Pot...this stuff is so bang up to date even I don't have it...I'm green with envy...if you want a sneaky peek click HERE...hugs kath xxx
all you have to do is leave us a great big birthday hug before 8pm on Wednesday 29th February and I'll be back to announce the lucky winner on 1st March.  In the meantime I'm off to look out my best bib and tucker...get the candles lit and make sure I get a big slice of the birthday cake.
Mum will be back tomorrow to share some pics from Stitches and how Mr Holtz very nearly ended up on the naughty step...now he knows how I feel living with Mrs Bossy Knickers.
Big Hugs & Furry Snuggles
from BUDDY xxx
and lots of love from ME xxx
Edited to add: Big Thank You to Polly who e-mailed us this gorgeous card to celebrate our Blog Birthday
