Zutter's Blog Hop Giveaway

The 2008 - 2009 Zutter's Design Team decided that we all enjoyed our time together so much that we wanted a permanent reminder of the friendship and fun.  We decided to do a double layout swap and using the new Zuttter's Cover-Alls and Page Protectors we would each have a mini album as a keepsake.  Poor Nan did all the hard work of co-ordinating and sending out supplies and the pages to each of us in our particular bit of the world!! 

As a celebration Zutter's has agreed that each DT member can do a giveaway on her blog of an 8 x 8 New Cover All for the Page Protectors and a set of the Page Protectors!!  What do you need to do?  Leave a comment on this post and hop along over to the other DT's blogs and see their pages and increase your chances of winning by leaving a comment on their blog too!!  Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!! ;)

The new page protectors come in two formats, closed holes for normal binding into a mini book and open holes that means that you can remove them and put them elsewhere if you change you mind!!  Love that idea... have made this mistake loads of times and ended up with a page out of sequence... these little guys sort that one out without any prblems at all!

Here is my double page layout for the swap.

Here is my Zutter Zister Cover-All.

Lots of peeps have asked what the papers are ... I thought they were pretty obvious so didn't mention it but.... yep, its the Basic Grey Boxer Collection!!

So... leave me a comment and on the 26th October I will figure out how that random number generator thingy works and get it to pick a number to win the 8 x 8 Cover All and pack of Page Protectors!!
Here are the other blogs for you to hop over to and have a look at what they did with theirs and if you leave a comment... your name will go into their draw too!

The Cow's Head {and other featured creatures...}

This is the planner I have made for my trip to Egypt in March. A country I have wanted to visit all my life and see the pyramids and the sphinx.

Have used loads of different sized pages and lots of pockets for tags and notes. In the back of the journal is a writing pad so I can sit each evening and write about the days activities and then pop them into the pockets.

I used one the Zutter's Cover Alls which makes it even easier to take with me, as I can slip the inner contents out of the cover and take that with me and then put them back in after my holiday.

Chris and I took us ourselves off to the local fish market to have a look around, there is a small veggie section and a row of butchers there as well and I was hoping to be able to pick up some nice fresh stuff.

If I ever mention wanting to try squid.... please remind me that this is how they are sold! They appear to have been plonked on bare concrete with little regard to hygiene or anything else and everyone just picks out the ones they want.... I'll pass on them, thanks!

Red snapper and some really pretty yellow and black fish that looked they would be more at home in a nice aquarium rather than a fish stall! We did buy some white snapper and some lovely big prawns for our tea.
Walking along to the small row of butchers shops we came across a very odd sight... it seems they put the head of the cow on display so that customers know the meat is fresh and where it came from... as you can see... Chris was not totally at ease with this situation.
I decided that I should also have my photo taken with Molly Moo RIP and the little butcher came dashing out to hold her head up for the pic... I think if you look closely you can see that this is not amusement but hysteria at being so close to poor deceased Molly Moo! The beef did look fresh but after meeting the cow's head I didn't really have the heart to buy a fillet or rump!!
