And the Winners are....

choosing the 3 winners!
Congratulations to the 3 winners of the Rock Face Minerals August Blog competition! Karen Monaghan, Suzi Hares & Amanda from Boopy Doodle who each win a Rock Face Minerals eyeshadow of their choice.
The answer to the question "which star sign runs from 23rd July to 22 Aug?" was of course Leo, & I was chuffed to bits with the number of RFM fans, old & new, that took the time to enter.
Thank you too for all the lovely birthday wishes; I had a fab birthday, camping in gorgeous Fermanagh, & I'll get some pics up on my blog soon.
Watch out for the next Rock Face Minerals competition in September, to coincide with the launch of the new & improved website, which is nearly complete.
In the meantime, it's the last week of the school holidays over here, so it's officially "School Uniform Name Tag Sewing Week" - Groan!

new smartphone - whoo hoo!

Call me a late developer but I've finally got a phone that can do more than make calls and text messages. Considering we got our first phone when I was 13, and even then you had to submit a business case every time you wanted to make a call (why do you need to call your mates? sure you sat beside them in school all day - what's left to talk about?) now I can blog, tweet, surf and generally find my way about with a cute bit of kit that fits in my pocket.
And the best bit? Magic Marker app - hours of fun!
Don't forget to enter the August blog competition; question is in the post below - get your entries in by 8pm on Sunday.

Competition time again! & Happy Birthday to me!

http://www.claireshandmadecakes.com
Well - without giving the game away, suffice to say that my birthday is this time of year - somewhere between 23 July and 22 August. So, I thought that was as good an excuse as any to have another competition!

3 lucky winners will win the Rock Face Minerals eyeshadow of their choice - you just need to email me via the Contact Us page on the website, with the answer to the following question "what star sign runs from 23 July to 22 August?".

The competition is open until 8pm on 22 August & the winners will be drawn shortly after & no, there's no extra prizes for correctly guessing how old I am.
