    Sew, Mama, Sew fabric giveaway

    I thought I would participate in the Sew, Mama, Sew May Giveaway Day 2011. Up for grabs I have one metre of Royal Wedding fabric which I bought from my favourite department store, John Lewis. The fabric was produced to commemorate the wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton on Friday 29th 2011. I was going to make something commemorative for the Royal Wedding but never got round to it.

    Where do all the Bepanthen samples go?

    I’ve just collected my 6 month sample pack from Bounty. I love a freebie and that didn’t change during my pregnancy when I signed up to every mother and baby club I could find. I’ve benefited from lots of samples which have helped me choose the best products for my little boy. I’m brand aware but I wouldn’t say I got sucked in by all the marketing that gets thrown at pregnant women. There was little that interested me in the Bounty pack (except a bar of Galaxy and can of Coke!). I was more interested in the Mama Pack…
