My first blog post was a little over a year ago. It somehow feels like I've been blogging for much longer - strange but I guess that this is because I've followed so many blogs for a good few years, so my own little bit of cyber space feels like a natural extension of this.
By way of celebration I'm offering an Owl themed giveaway. There are two sets of goodies on offer. One to celebrate the anniversary of my blog...

...and the other...to do my bit in the Carry It Forward (CIF) - I apologise immensely for it taking 5 months for me to get around to doing this! My goodness, time just flies. If you don't remember my excitement at winning handmade goodies made by the very talented Hen of
Henhouse you can see her original post showing the fabulous things she crafted
here.
I've crocheted the owls myself using Bunny Mummy's fantastic
tutorial and there are a couple of crochet flower brooches I've made too using Lucy's May Roses pattern which can be found
here. Plus I've added these cute wooden owls to the parcel, two white cotton scented tea lights and some pretty little pegs!

All you have to do to enter is to leave me a comment below saying what your favourite Simple Thing is. You can get a second entry if you mention the CIF on your blog and link it back to this post (just drop me another comment letting me know that you've done this!).
If you like my blog I'd love it if you'd consider following along for the journey - it'd be great to meet more of the lovely people that are reading Simple Things.
Finally, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my bit of cyber space
and to those of you who leave such lovely comments - a sincere THANK YOU for your support and encouragement over the past few months. I've met some lovely people due to those comments and visited a variety of 'new to me' blogs as a result - meeting some likeminded people is an unexpected pleasure of blogging.
This giveaway is open internationally and the closing date is 19th July. Anyone can enter the anniversary giveaway but you will need a blog and be willing to craft something to do your bit in the "Carry it Forward" concept. I will announce the winners shortly after the closing date and request further details at that point from the lucky winners so I can get posting off your goodies!!
Good luck!
