Six month blogiversary draw

Today is my six month blogiversary and I do not know where those six months have gone to! I would like to thank everyone that takes time to visit me and leave such lovely comments and what better way to show my appreciation than to have a draw. Up for the prize is the Quaker Biscornu (shown above), together with a little goodie package. This is the biscornu that I stitched for May's Monthly Finishing Challenge (for those that haven't seen it before go here). You have 7 days in which to leave a comment to say you would like to be entered in the draw (on this post only) and I will make the draw on Monday, July 7. So, don't be shy, leave a comment - you have to be in it to win it!

I have no new stitching pictures to show today although I have been stitching a little.

I have already lost 5lbs on my healthy eating plan - slightly more than my planned slow loss of lb per week. Yippee!

Eggling is doing really well as he has 14 flowers out, with more buds to open. Do want another photo or are you bored of him now? He really wants re-potting but I need to buy one as the ones I have are either much too large or too small. My strawberry pot is wonderful now and has some rather large green strawberries. I can't wait til they turn red - yummy!

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Edited: This draw is open to anyone who leaves a comment, including new visitors. Just leave a comment and you are in!

Wow Carol, I have only found your blog today so cannot claim credit for leaving you posts but I would love to be included in this draw if I may. I have been looking through your blog and you do some lovely stitching and finishing - especially love the tins which I am itching to have a go at doing myself.

Congratulations on loosing 5lbs. Part of that may be from water retention, its amazing how the salt you eat wreaks havoc on your body weight. Best of luck on your plan! I know you can do it!
