Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge #418 - Christmas Draw - Prize H

Picks and results from Challenge#417 can be found lower down. 

 

Here's the 8th prize in the 'Snippets Playground Christmas Draw':

It's a simple prize of a Do-Crafts 'Traditional Sentiments' stamp set from me. An all round useful set with some nice fonts.

All the rules can be found on the post for Sunday 12th December 2021, along with Mr Linky for your single entry. I do suggest that you read the rules thoroughly - particularly about the theme for this Grand Draw Challenge. Just leave a comment on this post you're currently looking at, if you would like the chance to win today's prize.

 

And here are the results from Ruby's Memory Challenge # 417!

 

First of all, the picks:

 

What a great way to use lots of small snippets - as well as little stamps and a snowflake punch! A great card from Kitty - and it's pink, even better! 

 

What a super card, made by Linby.  She used a really great John Next Door snowflakes die - so unusual and also versatile as you can use both the die cut 'fall out' snowflakes as well as the negative whole piece. For more ideas do hop over to Linby's blog HERE.

 

I instantly fell in love with this fabulous die - ran off and bought two .......... one of which is a prize later on in this draw. Not saying when, you have to keep on checking! ☺

 

Pauline hopped in with a set of three delightful bookmarks - using plenty of snippets. They're perfectly designed and beautifully made - the recipient is sure to be delighted with her very pretty gift.

 

These gift card/money holders, made by Diane, are fabulous! A wonderful way to use up lots of snippets and such fun! If you nip over to Diane's blog post you'll read that she's made some snowmen as well - shown in the post after the one with the Santas in.

 

That's four picks from Challenge #417, just couldn't whittle it down to three and if I'd had more time there would have been a few more as well.

 

We had 47 entries in total with no new Playmates.

 

Now for the prize draw, bundles A and B.

 

The winner of bundle A is: #33 Diane H.

And the winner of bundle B is: #20 Liz Cavill.

 

I've had real trouble with this post and the font changing size for no obvious reason. In the process of fixing it as best I could (dabbling in HTML code is always a total nightmare), I deleted the images I took from the Random number selector as I suspect they might well have been the root cause of the problem. So you'll all have to believe that I didn't tinker with the results. Luckily I had made a hand written note of who the two winners were!

 

Well done girls! Hope you enjoy your prizes. Can you both please send me your address, even if you know that I know it already, with your full name at the top as well so that it can be can be copied and pasted for speed and ease. It's a good prompt for me and also confirmation that you still would like the prize of course. Please put Playground Winner or similar in the subject line of your email in case it drops into my junk mail. Email address is on RH sidebar as always.

I won't be posting your prizes until after Christmas Day, perhaps even New Year's Day and will send you an email once it's safely on the way. The postal system is jam packed right now so it makes sense.

Challenge #417 as I already said was in aid of Ruby's Memory and I just sent off a further donation to USPCA, the rescue charity who saved Ruby and gave her the chance of the wonderful life she had with Lynne and Greg. That means, thanks to your generous prize donations, and the addition of Gift Aid tax relief onto my donations in lieu of buying prizes, we've raised £200 for USPCA so far. 

It's wonderful to see so many of you commenting and also joining in with the Grand Draw - what a happy way to end what's been a bit of a rubbish year for all of us.

Finally got all the indoor decorations finished yesterday, hooray! With the aid of my little four legged helper of course ☺ He's so funny, one rustle of tissue paper as I'm unpacking boxes of decorations (we have far too many to be honest) and he's beside me, with his paws on my lap. Every single item I unwrapped had to be held out to him - for a good look, sniff and then a 'nose dab' of approval.

He has a vet visit this coming Tuesday for his annual booster jab and check-up. Not our choice to leave it so late, apparently with COVID precautions you're lucky to even get an appointment, unless it's an emergency - or your pooch is right at the end of their vaccine protection from the previous year. Dudley is usually as good as gold ............ once he's actually inside the consulting room! Before that point there will be the accusing glares and 'You are so not my favourite person right now' vibes from him. Wish me luck - I drew the short straw to be the one to actually take him into the vet's. Thanks Len! ☺

Love from myself and the usual happy 'high-five' and woof from Dudley. Ha, but Tuesday might be different of course.
