And the Winner is ....

Oliver and I have been busy this morning doing the draw for my blogoversary giveaway. I printed out all 125 names, trimmed them and placed them in a bowl. Then, Oliver appeared knowing there was important business to attend to.
First he had a general look,
then he stuck his head in,
and to my amazement, actually pulled out a slip of paper. It was very funny and I'm annoyed I was too slow to get a photo.
However, the winner is Gudrun from Iceland. Congratulations, Gudrun. It's rather exciting to think of my little parcel travelling so far away. Just wish I could hand deliver it!
After doing such a great job, Olly then got a bit naughty ... I think he thought he'd like to have a go at taking some pictures himself because he wasn't letting go of my camera strap!
Little imp!
Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway ... I am gradually checking out all your blogs.
Back soon with some quilty pictures.
