Mainland Cracker Cuts = Awesome (+ a giveaway)

I feel like the luckiest gal in the world.

Cheese? Free cheese?

Yes please!

Yep a lovely perk of having this little blog of mine, I was sent a whole heap of cheese from Mainland to sample. And sampled we have. These fantastic little resealable packs contain pre-cut slices of cheese that are perfectly sized for a cracker snack, or if you are like me just to have a bit of cheesy goodness through the day. We have been given 4 different flavours - mild, tasty, extra tasty and light. I personally love the tasty, Mat loves the extra tasty and little Zoe loves the mild cheese. I can thoroughly recommend these packs - definitely convenient and very delicious!

And do you know what else?

Not only have mainland sent me some yummy cheese to sample, they are also giving one of my readers a $50 Coles voucher!

To enter just leave a comment telling me what your favourite afternoon snack is. I will a draw a winner next Wednesday the 10th of March at 12pm. (Sorry only open to Australian residents)

You can check out Kayla's work at Inkling Paper on Etsy and on the Tiny Inklings blog.

Giveaway Winners

Before I start, thank you everybody that entered my little giveaway - I always love receiving all of your comments.

Now, following in the tradition of my previous giveaway I decided that Zoe will draw the three winners of my cupcake prints, so I put each entrant's name in a bowl...



Zoe pulled out three pieces of paper (well she actually pulled out more than that, but I took the first three to be the winners)...



Then when I tried to snap a photo of the winners Zoe got kind of upset...



So fast forward ten minutes after a lot of rocking, patting and soothing words, and we have our winners...


Congratulations Chantel from Creative Hands, Becky from Strumpet's Crumpets and Jessy from Apparently Jessy. When you lovely ladies have a chance email your address to alicia.mccarthy at hotmail.com and I'll send out your prints.

Thanks for playing everyone!

Creative Thursday and a Giveaway

Some time ago I carved some lino, months later I finally got around to doing some printing. I have to say that there is something truly relaxing and wonderful about hand pressing your own lino prints. I think this is one form of art/craft that I could really get into it. Lino printing is fun, inexpensive and you can get some wonderful looking products at the end of it. I printed lots of my little cupcakes in strong black ink, check it out...


And that brings me to the second part of this post - the giveaway! To celebrate The Red Deer receiving more than 1,000 comments I would love to send some cupcake prints to 3 of my fantastic readers. If you would like a chance to win all you have to do is leave a comment telling me what you like best about The Red Deer blog and what your favourite colour is. That is it! The giveaway will end next Tuesday the 25th of August at 12:00 pm. So get commenting :D

My win :D

I received this wonderful postcard from Alissa over at Grace's Birdcage a while ago (I would of posted it earlier but my Internet connection has been really slow lately).




Thanks Alissa!

Giveaway Winner

Today was the day to draw the winner for The Red Deer's first birthday giveaway. So I wrote down all of the entrant names (twice if they were a follower, and thrice if they were a follower and blogged about the giveaway) and put them in our lovely glass bowl...



Zoe decided to help out by pulling out the winning entry and then continuing to eat the piece of paper...



Once I could grab the piece of paper away from her grip I was able to read the winning entrant, rips, slobber and all. So without further ado, the winner is...

Indy Grrrl!

If you can email your address to alicia.mccarthy at hotmail.com I will ship over you goodies ASAP!

Thanks for playing along everyone!
