For the smallest members of my own family, for Christmas, I made a little picture book of the farm animals. There is one spare. Just one. Would you like it?
It is a collection of favourite images all of which you know well but I think it would make a lovely little gift for a child. And I know there are many children who actually do read the farmy pages too. There are almost forty images and I just love it. So if you have a young person who might like to find this in their stocking please leave a comment saying you would like to be in the draw and I will enter your name and you might get to win this free copy.
Now – who will DO the draw this time? Maybe you could suggest that too in your comments? Anyone on the farm but Elsie, Elsie is not ready for that kind of responsibility yet.
Good morning. Sometime this morning we will have a visit from one of The Fellowship who will be collecting two kittens. It will be good to see them going to a loving home.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy,
celi

I have two grandchildren who would adore this book…and I, too, think Marmalade should draw. It will give her something to do besides miss her babies.
I’m not a kid, but that shouldn’t disqualify me. Old people like animals, too. And I’ll happily volunteer to do the drawing — that ought to improve my chance of winning, don’t you think? nert nert nert
C’mon – first things first: how is your blasted cold? Not a word, madam!!!! Beautifullest book: of course I’ll put my hand up too – not to give to any one person but to be the ‘magical auntie’ when everyone’s grand and great-grand and great-great-great kids come to call . . . it would make me a very popular ‘auntie’ to visit 🙂 ! Who to do the drawing: I would say Miss A as long as you do not get another cold from her or Big John or why not Sheila [not mentioned at all yet we do try to make her life a little more fun!!!!] as long as she would not try and eat all the names 😀 !! [Well, the one left over 🙂 !]
Who is Miss A? What’s wrong with me I can’t recall??
oh miss A is the beautiful girl who frequently visits from Chicago, they were here last weekend. She adores the animals.. c
Sorry Equus!! Actually Miss A is mentioned on today’s post and she had a number of photos published on the 7th December on this blog!! Am not quite certain but the family posts may be called ‘Proud Mama’ . . . many of us have watched her and her bro grow up virtually on the blog 🙂 ! Hmmm: her visit may have brought the ‘bugs’ to the farmy actually . . . we love her nevertheless 🙂 !
kristy might leave us a link if she reads this.. otherwise I will find it in the morning,.. I am off to bed!
The blasted cold has hit the chest – it is going to take a bit of beating i think, but my body is winnning! c
Of course it is but I DO hope our keeping our collective breaths, fingers, toes etc [what else is there to cross?] in the right position will help you to use heaps of nasty swearwords and simply tell the ‘b . . . er to p . .s off’ !!
I found Astra Plus Immune Tonic (1000 mg Astralgus Root + other) as Eha urged and started taking today as the lurgy has rebounded for 3rd time in 3 weeks, and I’ve been taking Echinacea, Andrographis plus 2 x antibiotics… and there was nothing wrong with my immune system prior… it is nasty! Celi, please take care.
Hope you kick it soon Dale, what a bore that is!
The Kid would love this! What a sweet idea!
With two girls who loves the animals on your farm, I’m sure they would love the book. But don’t include us in the drawing. We look forward to coming out again and seeing all in their live form instead of in a book. I think this book should be shared with a child who may not have the opportunity to visit the farmy.
I would dearly love the book and I think this has the makings of a fund raiser like the calendar. Boo needs something to take the sting out of losing two of kittens so he should do the choosing.
Didn’t mean to be anonymous, I hit post too soon.
What a delightful idea. I’m sure it will be well received. I just heard an item on radio new zealand today (Sunday, Spectrum programme ) about a community who is sharing a cow called Daffodil and hand-milking her. Two of the women are making fabulous cheeses and they are all enjoying the benefits of raw milk. You would enjoy this I know. Here’s the link: http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/spectrum/audio/20160220/spectrum-marlborough%27s-milkmaids
thank you! I shall pop over now
Oh, how wonderful. Today, 12/13/14 at 2:21 pm, our sweet Katherine Elizabeth Taylor was born. She is the granddaughter to my cousin (brother in my mind) Bob. I would love to win this book for her to enjoy. Mommy and Kate are doing well tonight after a brief scare of high temps for both. Babies bring such hope.
Celi, your book looks delightful. I never win a thing, so I wondered if you were selling them? 🙂
send me an email and you can order a copy for youself directly from the site.. I would love that! I never win anything either! c
Done! 😀
No book for me, Celi, but what a great gift idea and give-away! The Little Ones in your family are sure to love it, as will the winner. What or whomever you choose to do the picking, I sure hope you can capture a photo or two. That will be something to see!
Hope you’re feeling better. 😉
What a wonderful and generous idea. I have no grans YET, so I’ll sit on the sidelines and allow those that have, a better chance. God Father Boo should do the selecting. Please watch that chest of yours and take care.
I would love to win your book! I’m sure my little nieces would enjoy it too, when they come and visit.
Oh, dear. What will Boo do when someone tries to take away some of his charges? Please stand by with the camera!
No children, but my mom who is 87 follows your blog every day and has the picture of Marcel as her screen saver. She would love the picture book. Maybe she’s a big kid? 🙂 How DOES Boo take it when his charges go away. I’m glad the kittens are finding good homes. They are adorable.
C. the Houston Livestock and Rodeo donates many many books to inner city kids and is a big promoter of literacy in the city’s schools. One of those children would adore your book. My daughter is on the Lamb and Sheep committee and just called last week about donated books being collected.
TonTon gladly carries so much farm responsibility, maybe he should do the honor?
(Big paw waves to new kitten parents!)
