Aaaaaand the competition winner is….

Ok everyone sorry for the delay but I’m back online now and better than ever!

Now it’s a few days late but here is the official announcement of the winner of the deco headphones πŸ˜€

I had my lovely assistant James help with drawing a winner.

We made cut outs for all of the entries, put them in a mixing bowl and stirred.

SAMANTHA!

Congrats to Samantha, I’ve already emailed and as soon as she gets back to me with her address I’ll have them posted off in no time ^_^

Thanks to everyone who entered and thanks for being patient while I’ve been away! I promise more cool updates soon πŸ˜€

A tiny absence…

Sorry everyone for randomly disappearing for a while!

On Monday we can home from Christmas shopping to discover that we had no internet >_< James’ parents are changing internet providers and didn’t realize that it would take 5 working days for the switch to be made. For those 5 days we have no internet so no updating for me! I’ve snuck out to my Dad’s house to catch up with all my clients so just a quick update.

For those who haven’t yet make sure to enter my give away competition for the deco headphones, it ends this Friday! If I’m back online by then the winner will be announced on Monday, if not it will be the first chance I can get online. Any entries after midnight Friday won’t be counted.

I hope you are all doing really well and having fun!

See you next week πŸ˜€ (or see you tomorrow night if you’re coming to the Nuffnang party!)

 

Competition! Win Decoden Headphones :D

DSC_0013_091213_4625 copy

Well I promised you all a competition and here it is, win yourself some deco headphones!

To celebrate relocating my blog to my own domain I’m offering you all a chance to win the headphones I deco’d for today’s tutorial, all you need to do is spread the word about my new blog!

DSC_0014_091213_4624 copy

About the prize:

These headphones are completely new, I tested them to make sure they worked but have never worn them. According to the box they are “HiFi Stereo” but I haven’t tested that. They have a standard 3.5mm jack. Other specs from the back of the box are available on request.

I used epoxy glue, acrylic diamantes, a large heart bead and a pink ribbon bow to decorate them. They are decorated by hand and are therefore unique and with the imperfections that come with hand made items.

The winner will receive a hand written letter from me as well πŸ™‚

Nuffnang Christmas Party

Ok this doesn’t count as the Day 3 post, I’m going to do that later today (I’m still editing the photos!).

Nuffnang Christmas Party!

But I really wanted to let you all know about the Nuffnang Christmas party because all of your Australian bloggers are invited and you don’t even have to be a Nuffnang member to come!

We are having one in most Australian capital cities so make sure if you’re in Aus you come down to one πŸ˜€

They are being held simultaneously on the 17th of December and if you’re in Brisbane you better get down to Bohemia in the city and party with me and James!

The theme of the party is BLUE so if you come make sure you wear something pretty and blue!

The best part is that in the Brisbane party we’re going to have a Nintendo Wii competition on the big screen!!

You can find more information HERE.

Or just go ahead and RSVP here.

Are you Brisbane bloggers going to come and play Wii with me?
