Picture this if you will..... I'm lying in bed fast asleep (even though it's already sometime after 9 AM and I really should be out of bed).
There's a loud knock at the door.
I wake up and think that maybe someone is knocking on the door, but maybe I'm just dreaming.
There's another loud knock, so I yell out - "WHO IS IT?"
No answer, so I get out of bed, stagger to the door and open it.....
I'm wearing pink flannelette pyjamas with printed green frogs wearing crowns, I have crazy bed hair, sleepy eyes, and possibly drool....
.....and I'm greeted by my postman
I'm squinting because the daylight is so bright. He smiles at me and hands over a huge parcel. I apologise for still being in my pyjamas... what else could I say, as I embarrassingly slink back inside and close the door?
I won this amazing box of goodies from Jemma's 100th post giveaway over at Amityville Boronia. Every single piece inside the box was separately wrapped so it was like 20 pressies in 1!
Did you notice that one of the parcels is clearly marked OPEN ME LAST?
There's a craft book, vintage patterns, vintage fabrics, buttons, trims, my favourite chocolate,
some beautiful quilted coasters, embroidery floss, and embroidered doiley....
But, the mystery of the OPEN ME LAST parcel and the piece de resistance, is this amazing handcarved CurlyPops stamp!
It completely matches the font that I use on my header and my business cards. I'll be stamping everything in sight.... don't stand still for too long if you happen to come over!
Thanks so much Jemma!

How much would it cost me to have a day in your life? I am insanely jealous for all the goodies you get... tell me your secret- your have telepathic powers right? You send subliminal messages to people's minds? I'll give it a go and see how it turns out!? lol
This is absolutely amazing. What a great mix pack of goodies. I have to be honest, when I saw your post I didn't comment straight away. Now, I went out and mailed Jemma to find out how much my own little stamp would cost me. She's done an amazing job on that stamp. It's just screams curlypops!
Fun, Fun. She's set the giveaway bar high, hasn't she?
Sets the giveaway bar high?? Oh my word! I am currently thinking about my own giveaway for my hundred-and-oneth post ... goodness, I better step up.
I'm glad you had a stamp pad already :) I didn't think of it until I already sent everything!
What a perfect way to start the day (including the sleep in!). That stamp is FANTASTIC!
Wow! What a wonderful prize, how lucky are you? Am loving that stamp :)
SCORE!!!
What a fabulous prize!! Love your personalised stamp - such fun!
Wow - that's some haul!! COuld you please write a tutorial on "How to Win great Giveaways"....?
Great prizes. I had to laugh about the postie. I am often still in my jammmies when he comes too.
sheesh, how lucky are you lately! postie must be hating you!! hehe!
very nice score!
wow...again! I like your paint a picture of pj's, bed hair & drool :)
I bet you were also drooling opening up your fantastic treasures!
have fun.
I'm sure the post man sees people come to the door not wearing much :p so at least you were wearing pjs :)
that is a lot of nice stuff :D the stamp looks great, she did a great job with it.
Woohoo! Very fabulous!
Love, love, love the stamp, which reminds me I need to order mine! :)
What was that sound you ask? Me gasping at all those amazing goodies! So jealous!
Wow that is a fantastic giveaway prize. I love the stamp
Super cute & very thoughtful. Lovely.
what a lovely, very fun package! you lucky lady!
Well, I say! Amityville Boronia has absolutely outdone herself. What a way to start your day (at midmorning)!
PS. I have a theory posties do their best to arrive at inopportune moments - it provides a source of little humour highlights in their day...
Woah, what a great parcel of goodies Cam! Love the stamp too. Can you give me some tips on how to win a giveway?????
I wonder what the postie is thinking about this pyjama clad girl who keeps getting interesting looking parcels. Maybe he thinks you are hooked on late night tv shopping, or perhaps that it's been your birthday. I'm betting he would never guess that you are the worlds best guveaway winner! I'm with Nikki, let me know when you've finished the tutorial! :)
PS. That stamp is fantastic. Jemma is such a clever sweetie!
Oh wow what an amazing package. I love getting things in the mail and this is fantastic. Sooo jealous!
Wow, what an impressive give away! My 100th post came and went with no more than a whimper ... guess I had better do something!
How long did the chocolate last?
;)
The stamp is perfect!! So many possibilities! Lucky you :)
Doesn't it make the parcel opening even more exciting when you have an "open me last" to wait for? The stamp is just great, and I love the nice way the fabrics are folded.
Wow that's got to be the best giveaway prize ever! You are one lucky lady in pajamas.
Capital L,Capital O O, Capital T!!
I'm feelin' a wee bit jealous, it's all so gorgeous.
X Liz
Oh my you are being spoilt - lucky lucky thing!
So funny re the postman... I am sure that sort of thins must happen all the time.
What a gorgeous lot of goodies to be gifted.
NO COMMENT! No, I have to say something, you crazy woman. Good on you! I'd rather a spunky man knocked on my door, rather than the postman, when I was just rolling out of bed, so you can keep the giveawaya haha, Am ready to kill you over the ctamp, though. That is awesome.
Oh wow! What loot! I love that stamp - how thoughtful!
that is definitely one of the best box of goodies I've seen so far! wow, what a cool stamp!! lucky you.
Wow. Don't know how I missed this post. You must have been stoked. GOOD ONE!!!! And that stamp! I'm as green as Kermit right now.
Daaammmnnn....what have I been missing during all this time??
