Happy St Patrick's Day to all

It's a glorious day today, just right for parades, a few...cups of tea and some restrained merrymaking ;)

But I guess that's not what you really want to know...

You want to know who is the luckeeeeee winner of the Etsy Ireland St Patrick's Day Treasury Hunt.

You want to know who won this prize...



Well, so this morning Jacob and I got ready for the grand prize draw.



It took Jacob some time to find his wig and gown, but after some time of meticulous grooming, he was ready.



Under his watchful beary eyes, I pulled one piece of paper out of my woolly hat...



Opened it...


And there it was...the one name of the lucky lucky winner who would receive the largest haul of crafty swag the world has ever seen...

Congratulations, Karen!

This fabulous Treasure Hunt would not have been possible without Suzie, Anne and Grace who helped with the photographing of the letters, Nadine, Letizia, Mo, all the Etsy Ireland team members who donated the gorgeous prize items, the 'hiders' (those 8 members who hid the words in their shops: HandsSeries, yarnsweetie, theletterboxpress, cherryblossomtattoo, Spleodar, Craftemail, ShinyJane and patchworkdelights), all the participants (not one of them got it wrong!)...and...yes, Jacob (who is just raiding the kitchen for some hunny).

Have a great St Paddy's Day ye all, drown the shamrock (and remember, it's Paddy's, not Patty's!)
