Slightly later than promised but I'm offering three lucky commentators the chance to win some blog candy to celebrate the relaunch of Crimbo Crackers! All you need to do is leave a comment on this post - indicating which cd you prefer - Double Sprinkles or Sugar Birdies or Magical Winter.

Santa's Little Helper (Jacob) will pick three winners on 9 October!

The challenges will return on Thursday 8 October at 9am GMT - see you then!

Many thanks to Polkadoodles and their generosity for the candy!

Taking a Break

Apologies for the sparodic posting of late. A lot has changed in the three and a half years since I started Crimbo Crackers. Over the last six months any spare time I have is taken up trying to keep up with my family and the very busy life we have. I've also relocated with my job - my old office closed and I now face a three hour a day commute to work. Which is going to get worse in a few weeks due to repairs on the train line so my daily commute will be extended by around an hour to an hour and half a day whilst he work is completed.....

So, rather than throw the towel in and say that I'm closing Crimbo Crackers, I'm going to take a break until 25 September. Between now and then I hope to build up my theme samples so that I can schedule posts so I'm not on the last minute trying to rush about and get things done!

Thank you to all of you who have stuck with me during this period, but Crimbo Crackers will be back! And I'll be offering some candy mid September so don't forget to come back to enter!

See you in September!
