And the winner of the 1st week of the Blogiversary draw is...

Dum da dum!!!!! J at After Asia!

For those who did not win...please try again! The odds are definitely in your favour (1 in 3 to be exact). I think the random number generator is overkill when you are asking for 1 integer out of 3.

Knitting first...new painting...then the next bit o swag...

Oliver has been assembled and is the proud owner of his own little jacket. He needs button cause he's being all show-offy with the bare white chest.

Painting I bought from wanna-baa's (sadly blogless of the comments) mom. I visited Ms. Baa and my short statured cable model-boy for part of Easter weekend. It was a much-needed escape from home. I got to visit a new little yarn shop and bought some Tofusies sock yarn in the Off the Right Foot colourway which is very pretty and soft.

Now I make you look at pictures of my kids - we went to a nearby park for your average Easter Sunday freeze-fest with play structures...

You can decide the caption - either "I'm too cool for this picture taking crap" or "Yo! Don't mess with the Family or you'll end up swimming with the fishes."

This one could be called "My life won't be complete without an Ipod Shuffle" which looks EXACTLY the same as "I know I'm 9 and a half, but please please please could you push me on the swings?"

And this one is just a cool arty shot for me.

And now...ta da!!! This week's up-for-grabs super fantastic blogiversary prizes are meant to make you feel like you are living in a posh apartment reading the New Yorker before heading out for brunch with your cool friends...

We start with literature (so you look as smart as I know you are). As an extra sell - the Red Tent has references to spindle spinning!

Next you get to drink a lovely cuppa tea as you enjoy your refined lit moment - complete with nifty box and funky shaped infusers.

Because I care about you and want to make your life easier...a bookmark so you don't lose your spot. Works equally nicely sticking out of knitting magazines. Comes complete with upbeat quote.

Plus - everyone needs chocolate eggs - even when Easter is over. Plus its Godiva. What's not to like???

And finally - in case you should become verklempt...some super stylin' kleenex that advertising either where you are from, or where you have a friend (oh stop wracking your brain - that's supposed to be me).

Best of luck to all - email to ambergem1969 at hotmail dot com by Wednesday, April 18th for your chance to win.
