Drumroll please!

I have to say I was a bit overwhelmed by the entries into our crafty Friday afternoon competition, although there weren't many entries they were all so fantastic and everyone who did enter really got into the spirit of things. So after much agonising decision making, the winners are...

...the super talented flatmates Alice and Sarah with a joint entry! Well done you crazy ladies! Here's the pictures they sent me of the sign and the making of, as you can see a lot of fun went into the making of this and that's kind of what it was all about!







Fabulous or what?

As I said before, lots of effort went into all the signs and I feel special mention must go to the following people. All of these lovely peeps will be receiving special surprise Hannah Zakari packages between now and Christmas.

In order of entry our runners up are...

Alexis



and Tara



I'm also giving a super special mention to my good friend Sandra who makes adorable stuffed creatures on her website Ruby Loves Red and held a Hannah Zakari tea party complete with deelly boppers and cake - yum :D





So that's the end of our birthday celebrations, I'd just like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took part again. I'm quite sad it's over *sniff*, but it has been a really fun week :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this weeks celebrations, it's been a lot of fun!

Remember you can still enter our weekend crafting competition to win another cute bunny vase - details can be found here. No one has entered yet so it's either going to be easy to pick or you're all thinking long and hard about what to do!

Fridays winner of the Eclectic Shock item has been chosen and notified already... here's a quick picture of my studio-mate Emma of Showpony choosing the winner :D



Have a great weekend everyone!

Another chance to win...

...a Tiny Bunny Vase!



We had such an overwhelming response to yesterday's competition that we thought we'd give you another chance to win what is possibly the cutest vase in the world!

Since Hannah Zakari is all about handmade we thought we'd encourage you to create something. So what you need to do is take a picture of yourself holding a sign which reads 'Happy Birthday Hannah Zakari' that you've made with your own fair hands and email to iwantabunnyvase@hannahzakari.co.uk.

The person with the best sign wins the vase, and 5 runners up will get a 20% discount code to help towards their xmas pressies (or simply to treat themselves with) - simple, huh?

You must be ok with me sharing these pictures on Facebook and this blog - so don't be shy and keep it decent!

This is going to run until midnight on Sunday and we'll announce the winners on Monday.

Yay! Good luck everyone!

As usual you need to find the hidden present (pictured above) on the Hannah Zakari website. We've hidden it 5 times and you only need to find it once to enter... but... today you'll get one entry for each hidden present you find so you have up to 5 chances to win!
