1st March 2010

What a lovely day , a bit brisk but bright and sunny none the less which makes a nice change from all the grey and rain we've had lately. To be honest I am glad to see the back of February , not a good month in the Periwinkle household . So here's to a fresh new start in March. I'm not making any promises to myself this month as I didn't manage one thing from last month , I'm just going to go with the flow and see how it goes.

So did any of you remember to check out the ice/snow moon last night ? I bet you forgot didn't you !



It was a corker ..... The next full moon will be on the 30th March and is known as the Storm Moon.



One good thing that did happen last month was that I won a giveaway from the lovely Kirsty, over at Ruby's Mamma Made It . It was a surprise giveaway so when the big box arrived at the end of last week there was lots of guessing as to what could be in all these lovely wrapped parcels.



I actually remembered to take a photo to show you including the sweeties, although they didn't last long though with the boys hovering over me ...

Whilst opening these goodies I was totally lost for words.



You can't really see the , erm I don't know what you call them but they are plastic things you put on top of cakes before you sprinkle on icing sugar to leave a pattern... and the gloves just seem too pretty to use for gardening. That's not all though , oh no



inside the little box are violet sweets , something I managed to hide from the boys , these are going to be all mine and how gorgeous is this tree with the cute little birds . Last but not least is this little votive, you can just make out the heart engraving on the front .



How spoilt was I ........

Thank you so much Kirsty it was really appreciated and certainly cheered me up ..

Lovely new header! March already - that's the great thing about February, it's only 28 days long!
Fantastic give-away prize, the tree with birds is gorgeous. I did notice the moon last night, wish I'd seen it the previous night now.
