Ami Ana Giveaway!!

So....I am actually having a Giveaway on Ami Ana at the moment (the past week to be exact), but it would seem that thanks to Facebook's new promotion and view quashing tactics very few people, excepting a few whom I have informed directly of it, knew! :/

 This makes me sad. It probably makes you sad too.

So, in an attempt to combat Facebook's disagreeable "tactics" I am considering extending the entry time for one more day for all those whom Facebook have prevented, nay impeded from being informed of it and potentially missing out on FREE Ami Ana goodies! What do YOU all think?

I think that considering I'm only extending for one extra day, you guys still have pretty primo odds to win :D

 So short'n'sweet - to Enter:
1. Be an Ami Ana Facebook fan - here's the link to do that - https://facebook.com/Anarashii
2. Comment either on the Ami Ana Facebook page or the Anarashii Blog - http://Anarashii.blogspot.com and tell me what Ami Ana item is on your Christmas wish list!
3. Share on your personal FB page or biz page for extra entries!

 Time for Entries to close is now 8.30pm Thursday 8th November NZ Time. Good luck! Here's what's up for grabs!

Just stopped by the Blog to brag about the voucher for FREE pottles of all THREE of the Killinchy Gold and Whittaker's collab Gourmet Icecream that I just won from FB - OH YEAH!

Morticia and the Hulk

Here we are at home after "Trunk'n'Treat" at Church - Wombat as Hulk and me, supposedly,as Morticia Adams - but my hair just will NOT be tamed!!

So, I'm having a Sale over at Ami Ana....

Ami Ana's Tabetaichai Childrens wear Sale starts.....NOW! All you need to know is that it starts 5pm NZ time Friday 19th October and Ends 9am NZ time Tuesday 22nd October! Oh and the coupon/voucher codes for both my Etsy and Felt Stores might just come in handy! ; ) The details: The Sale is on ALL Childrens Items including already discounted Items, but excepting Customer Order Items and Patterns - however, I do have a very limited amount of current stock in some of my Custom Order Items - so pays to ask!

TABESUGI25 is to be used if you get a little carried away with yourself! Enter this code at checkout for purchases of 3-4 or more items and receive a 25% discount! Enjoy!

PS - the codes are the same for both the Etsy and Felt Ami Ana Stores - in case you were wondering ; )

When Wombat grows up....

This is currently Wombat's preferred way of watching tv.

I reiterate - when Wombat grows up he is either going to be a Gymnast or a stuntman. Or both.

Kitchen Shelves - REBORN!

I think the pictures speak for themselves. My only regret is that I didn't take "Before" pictures.

A snippet of conversation - Wombat-style

Week before last Wombat was unwell - when I say unwell I actually mean he was well - but his asthma was acting up something chronic - nasty deep cough, wheazy as heck. So we kept him home pretty much the whole week. Whilst he was at home one of the Kindy pets - one of the rabbits - died and this week just gone Kindy acquired a brand new rabbit.The Kindy needs to name the newly arrived rabbit and so they posted the children's name suggestions for this new rabbit on the white board out on the Kindy porch. They made me smile - that is they made me have an internal giggle fit. Some of my favourites were (let me just preface this by saying that the Rabbit is a black female Rabbit)
- Batman - this one has my vote for sure.
- Venom - a definite superhero/villain theme going on here.
- Black - just Black - no Blacky/Blackie. Just Black. Imaginative.
- Rabbity.

I was sure Wombat had been responsible for suggesting "Batman", however Wombat instead proudly informed me that his suggestions for the new Rabbit's name had been Rabbity and/or Water.Random.

And then Chris' parents and Gma stopped by tonight for a short visit and I just had to share this little conversation.Mum had been exclaiming over a new snuggly toy Wombat had seated on the table whilst he studiously drew a picture of a Lion.
Mum: Where did you get that from?
Wombat: A Shop.
Me: Op shop/Sallies.
Wombat: Monk bought it for me.
Mum: It's VERY nice.
Me: It's in pretty good nick.
Wombat picked up his new dog snuggly and showed it off to his Grandma: It's a dog and his name is Blue, like on Blues Clues.
Mum: Oh? Why haven't you named him Rabbity?(
in a stating the obvious tone) Wombat: Cos he's a DOG.
(stifled giggles) Mum: Why not call him Doggie then?(
in an abrupt no nonsense tone) Wombat: His name is BLUE.

End of conversation.
