    OOh, thanks for the pointer to this Barbara. Please do put my name forward. I have shared it and also put a post on Facebook to and to G+ although some of this I'm a bit unsure of. I would love to win Gift 3 (kittens) for my new granddaughter, as they have two cats and I'm sure she'll love them when she gets older.

    Thank you for commenting on my blog. I am going to do another post shortly (when I get time).

      The photographs of your granddaughter are lovely, thanks for sharing them. My little granddaughters have just been to see Santa, so I must share one of those photos before Christmas.
