Don't You Just Love Photobooth??

It cracks me up!! We all love it in our house, it is especially good at keeping baby Oompa Loompa entertained. In these photos we were celebrating my new Target sunglasses. I have decided to no longer spend a fortune on my sunglasses, they always seem to break. So whilst I was in Target, I thought I would check out what they had to offer. Well, I was mighterly impressed, they had a fabulous collection and I came home with two pairs.

The sun is so bright and strong in Colorado and it is sunny most days, I have found that you need sunglasses all year round. Otherwise you are always squinting, not great for the old wrinkles!! Also, sunglasses are just perfect for covering up your face. Ideal for me in the mornings for the school run and for those days when you really can't be bothered to put your make-up on. Just pop them on and you are done. Prince Charming doesn't like my new shades, he thinks they are far too big for my face. I am loving them, I think they are very Victoria Beckham!!!

Moving on.............I have some winners to announce. Yippee!!

Joining the Flickr Group

I chose a random number generator and put all the members numbers in 1-34. The number it generated was 12, which means is the winner is Sophiaallison007

Uploading your Layout to the Flickr Group

I put all the names in a hat, the name that came out was peaceloveandjoy

My Happy and Sad Layout Competition

You know that I always say 'you have to be in it to win it'. Well this time it rings true. I had three entries, thank you Erin, Siri and Amanda. So, as it is February and I am feeling the love, I have decided that all three of you should win. You will each receive a DD Fabric Album, thank you so much girls for playing along.

Also, I am giving away a February kit over on Siri's blog, she is celebrating her blog anniversary this month and it was my pleasure to donate a kit.

So, huge congratulations girls. Please just send me a quick email with you address and I will get those goodies out to you. Have a wonderful Monday, I am off to attack my boxes of photographs for my Libraries of Memories class - not sure what I was thinking when I decided to take this class!!!!

Introducing Wonder Week

I hope you all had a good weekend, mine was pants. I had to put my 'nurse' hat on, as two out of the three Oompa Loompas were sick. I seemed to spend most of it at the doctor's office, temperature taking, administrating medicine, cleaning up vomit, (nice) and making lots of hot apple and honey drinks. I hate it when the children are ill, you feel so helpless. Although the upside is you do get a lot of snuggles.

I have decided to introduce a new week on my blog............wonder week. I thought it would be a lot of fun to do a week full of competitions, challenges and give aways.

Today's one is an easy one, you may have noticed on my blog that I have a new link on my blog bar, it is a flickr group that I have started up. Quite a few people have asked me for a place where we can upload our layouts, get inspiration and chat about the odd thing. So I set one up.

So today I am giving away a January Main kit:

All you need to do is go to the Magpie Club flickr Group and become a member. On Friday I will pick a random member number and you will win the kit. EASY PEASY.

Now if you have got the time to do a little bit more work, you could also be in the chance to win this, January CC Kit:

You just need to upload one of your photos of a layout you have made using one of your Magpie Kits, and bobs your uncle. I will choose a random person from a hat on Friday. The layouts do not have to be solely things from the kits, things added from your stash are welcomed.

As with all my give aways, if you win and already have these kits and don't really want another one, I will swap it for some other yummy thing.

So have a great Monday, don't forget to join the flickr group, upload your layouts if you have time and be sure to check back each day this week.
