Angel Dreams link now working

Hello there beautiful angels! I'm sorry that the link didn't work yesterday, I hadn't realised that my google site was set to "author read" only! So it worked for me, but alas, it wasn't me it needed to work for!

You should now be able to open the document. :-) Here is a quick link!

Angel wishes! Vikki xoxo

An angel for you angels x

For all you beautiful souls out there...

{{thank you}}

...so much for all the joy you have brought me via your lovely comments, your witty anecdotes, and your warm friendships. {{hugs}}

Because I know I am surrounded by you lovely angels, I thought it was only fitting to gift you a stitchery design of an angel, daydreaming in

her fluffy cloud.

Doesn't she have a lovely calming influence?

Just click on either of the pictures to download the design. I have an idea for how I will use my stitchery - how about you? Maybe you could create a gift for the angel in your life? If you do, then please email me with a photograph as I'd love to see your creations!

Now I'm off to organise a little tutorial! *wink* I hope you have a wonderful day/evening, wherever you are in the world. :-)

Until next time - happy dreaming! Vikki x

Winner announced!

I'm very happy to announce the winner of my giveaway! I used the Random Org generator to choose a comment - and it was No. 285 - the comment left by:

Gitte from Gittes Patch.

Congratulations, Gitte! Could you please email me with your postal address so that I can get your goodies off in the mail to you?

Thank you to everyone who entered! Thank you for your patience, for your inspiring comments, and for celebrating Among the Gum Trees, with us. :-) There's only four more sleeps now until the first free design is made available, isn't that exciting?

Now, I do wish that you could ALL have won my giveaway, so as a little gift to you, I am going to upload a little "Angel" stitchery design for you to use freely for your personal use. It will be available this evening. And this weekend I shall work on a tutorial for a Journal Cover. Maybe you could use the stitchery design on that? So be sure to pop on by, I'd love to stay in touch! :-)

In the meantime I will leave you with something beautiful. My favourite flowering plant in my back yard. I'm sorry, I don't know the name of it! Shall I make one up??? How about Angels Wonders?

Have a great day and I shall speak to you later! Hugs! Vikki x

Fabric shopping and giveaways

I've been shopping again! I just couldn't resist purchasing some of Rosalie Quinlan's new fabric range when I spotted it in my local patchwork store. The range is called Grandmother's Flower Garden, by LECIEN. The designs are sweet and fresh, with a dash of funky thrown in for good measure. If you want to check out the full range, this is a good post to read from Rosalie's blog. The ric-rac and buttons were thrown into the shopping basket because they looked like they could use the company! *cheeky grin*!



I have also been shopping at Mothers Cupboard! Have you been for a visit? The gorgeous Fiona is having a sale at the moment and her fabrics sprung out of the sale pages and spoke to me! They said, "Buy me Vikki... you've got to, I'm just too good to pass up!" So guess what? I need to make some more space in my sewing room! *giggle*!! :-)

Now, we only have another day before the Gum Tree Designers' giveaways come to a close. Have you entered them all? If you are unsure you can visit the Among the Gum Trees blog where we collectively sit on the branches of the eucalyptus trees, and visit each of us in turn. But before you go, why don't you start with Vicki's blog? Just click on the link below! While you're there, check out the beautiful bag that Vicki had published in Down Under Quilts. Too, too cute! She has a link to the free download, too. :-)

I shall have a few more piccies to share with you soon. Until then - Good Luck with the giveaways!!!

Hugs! Vikki x

A little bit of everything!

I have lots to share with you tonight! But first of all I want to ensure that if you have entered my giveaway, you have the maximum entries that you are entitled to.

By this, I mean that if you have done the following: become a member of Among the Gum Trees blog; become a member of my blog; and posted the "Among the Gum Trees" button to your blog side bar and linked it back to the Gum Trees blog.

By doing each of these things you gain one entry. So there are three entries maximum for each entrant. I have noticed that some people are leaving just one comment for me even though they have in fact done all three requirements and are entitled to three entries. You MUST leave one comment PER entry. I have been emailing people to advise them when it comes to my attention. But I'd hate for you to miss out on those extra entries when you are entitled to them. :-) So if you are in doubt, please check and leave a comment if you are entitled to it. Click here to take you direct to my giveaway post.

And last of all - GOOD LUCK!!! :-)

Now on to some exciting news!! Do you love sunsets over the sea? Do you enjoy decorative painting? Do you enjoy birthday celebrations? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you need to go and visit the delightful Anna of Anna Rosa Designs!!

To celebrate her birthday, Anna is freely offering one of her gorgeous painting designs and pattern to whoever wishes to paint it! Here is a picture of the final piece, isn't it divine? Happy Birthday, Anna! :-)




Of course, talking about free designs always leads me back to the branches of the Gum Tree Designers! Have you entered Judith's giveaway yet? There is still time... and you could win the fabulous goodies pictured below! Just click on the picture below to enter.

Ice and a slice?

So I finally decided to slice my mutant lemons! Aren't they gorgeous? I love the flower-shaped slice in the top right-hand corner! It would make a beautiful design, don't you think?

Until next time - hugs all round! Vikki x
