Giveaway Winner – The Twisted Crafter

bunting giveaway

Some of you may have noticed that last week I hit my 1000 likes milestone on Facebook – ooosh! What an accomplishment! To celebrate reaching the big 1000 I held a ‘Special Giveaway’ as a huge thank you to those that have supported me throughout the early stages of That’s so Gemma.

Racking my brain for what special prize I could make, I thought nothing could beat a garland of bunting with a mixture of vintage florals, polka-dots and gingham. With another recent bunting make of my real life logo (click here if you haven’t seen the post already!), which I enjoyed making so much, I thought with an added sprinkle of

Getting Gem-tastic with Masie’s Craft

Beside the Seaside

What a beautiful sunny day it has been today! I’ve been cracking on with some much needed housework, with endless piles of washing to launder and a spruce up with the hoover.
