You'll have to venture over to my blog to see them... <BR/><BR/>This bouquet was made, at great expense (to the housework), but you will be pleased to hear that not a single heated greenhouse was used or air mile flown to get these flowers to you today. All the items can be re-used, if you so wish, the stalks are plastic bag wrapped knitting needles and the flowers strips of plastic yarn(plarn). Oh, and a little photo jiggery-pokery. Well, plastic bags are so difficult to find these days!<BR/><BR/>It only remains for me to say. Good luck with the MediaGuardian Innovation Awards (MEGAS). Don't stay behind too long after the event to help them sort their rubbish, we can't wait to hear how you got on.Transition Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551781114456088561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-64345041681041993572009-03-24T21:38:00.000+00:002009-03-24T21:38:00.000+00:00Oh my goodness gorgeous, you won't believe the fro...Oh my goodness gorgeous, you won't believe the frock I am wearing right now. We're talking Primarni dwarling, mwah mwah. Thanks so much for my award my lovely. The compost is coming along nicely and I'm hoping to purchase another bin for the new house.<BR/><BR/>Will be thinking of you at the MEGAs. You are such a worthy winner hon I really hope it happens. Kisses. And sorry I didn't return your call. I will do soon. Life's a little crazy right now but yours is too so we can be crazy together. I have everything crossed for you. xxJo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-18201883948952377422009-03-24T20:27:00.000+00:002009-03-24T20:27:00.000+00:00Hope you had a fun evening/afternoon, Karen.

It will take pride of place on my virtual shelf (once I have cleared the jam jars away). <BR/><BR/>I am sorry to be so late with my acceptance speech but my computer has a mind of its own lately and is just about chugging along and stopping to rest for long periods!!

Some of your acceptance speeches have truly made my sides hurt with laughter.<BR/><BR/>I wish I was able to spend some time tonight replying to you all individually, but I'm in DESPERATE NEED of some real good sleep. Have got an early start tomorrow with lots to do before I head down to London. Don't think it's all glam either....before I go out and get my hair done, I'll be on my hands and knees cleaning the bathroom.....yep a true Cinderella moment if ever I've known one.<BR/><BR/>But thanks so much for your support. I'll be back soon with the news of the MEGAs, as well as some of my favourite highlights and some exciting info about a few collaborations that I'm getting involved in. <BR/><BR/>And I promise I'll get back to your emails and comments as well as popping over to visit your acceptance speeches on your own blogs, all hopefully towards the end of the week.<BR/><BR/>So...with me hair in rollers ( LOL - only joking ) it's time to climb the apple and pears to get some much needed beauty sleep.<BR/><BR/>Night Night All! :-D xxxxxxAlmost Mrs Averagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566374419318255177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-10978342417158083602009-03-23T20:42:00.000+00:002009-03-23T20:42:00.000+00:00Apologies for deviation from good usage of the Eng...Apologies for deviation from good usage of the English language in the above.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03742282701625568386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-80276143193695949082009-03-23T20:40:00.000+00:002009-03-23T20:40:00.000+00:00Well, that was a surprise.
