10,000 Hits and a Giveaway.......

Morning Folks. Well overnight my blog received 10,000 hits! Its amazing to think I've achieved this in less than a year, and that so many people have read my everyday ramblings. I'm completely addicted to blogging now and have been in contact with so many lovely people, who I have lots in common with. Most of my friends and family think I'm bonkers when I go on about my blog and talk about fellow bloggers like I've known them for years, but that's just how blogging is, Don't you think? I'd like to say a big Thank you to all my regular blog buddies who I'd like to think of as friends now, for regularly popping by to say hello and always being there when you fancy a chat or a cyber hug, so I've decided to hold a giveaway to celebrate my 10,000 hits. I'm not sure what the goodies will be yet, but its bound to include at least one or two hand made items. So if you'd like to leave a comment on this post, I will put your name in the hat. I will be doing the draw some time Saturday evening, so the closing date will be midday on Saturday. I will get Mr Pixie to pick the name with I suspect, a little help from Woody. lol.

And heres a few new pics of my Hyacinths in flower. I can't believe how quickly they've grown, and they smell gorgeous.
