Just a little bit of sharing

Good morning everyone...I was doing my rummage through my stash for my new cupboard (yes I did get it done oh you of little faith lol) when I realised how lucky I am to have so much stash...so I have decided to share some with my commenter's because I love reading them and appreciate every single one of you...so every so often, well probably every week but it could be more as I still have a huge stash of papers to go through, I will be giving away some of my fav goodies to one of the fabulous people who comment...so today is the first one, I have ten of the new 6x6 Websters pages Christmas papers and a selection of flowers

and then I did a bit more rummaging and decided why not add more so I have 21 sheets of stampin up papers as well and the first winner of all these goodies...well I picked yesterdays card and put all the commenter's (as of 11.30pm last night because I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer lol) into the random thingy and it picked No 20.........

JANE

wwwoooohhhoooo congratulations Jane...can you contact me with your address so I pop your goodies in the post for you...watch out for the next one and I will be back later with my card for today
