This candy is now closed for comments, and I'll be drawing a winner soon.
Thank you all so much for your lovely words.
I feel so lucky to share in all the generosity and creativity of Craftyblogland. Your comments and feedback are a constant source of joy, and the inspiration I find from travelling from blog to blog is immeasurable. I only wish I could give candy out to every single one of you to thank you for your company on this amazing journey, especially when I haven't been around much lately!
But no, my thanks and love go to all of you, but the candy can only go to one... so please simply leave a comment here if you would like to be included in the draw. This sticky post will stay at the top of the blog until the end of June, when I'll pick the winner out of a hat.
It's NOT compulsory to join up as a Follower - though if you like the work you see here, then it would be lovely if you did - and it would be great if you shared the candy photo and link on your blog or sidebar, but that's NOT compulsory either.
Thank you so much for everything and good luck!
Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.
Plautus (or at least with candy!)
