It’s now past the 27th December around the world so Mr Cassmob has done the draw for the Blogiversary competition I posted about a couple of weeks ago.
And the winner is…..drum roll…Helen Smith from Brisbane and From Helen V Smith’s Keyboard. Helen will be receiving the iPad sleeve designed by Indigenous women in Central Australia.
Second prize goes to Kristin in the USA and blog Finding Eliza. Kristin will receive the Tiwi purse.
Then because I remembered some badges I’d had made earlier in the year (in case I got a family historian for my Christmas Swap), we drew another two tiny give-aways.
One goes to Alona Tester (South Australia) and the other to Judy Webster (Queensland). The idea for these badges came from Fi at Dance Skeletons and were ordered from Cafe Press.
I’ll be in touch with everyone to get their postal address so I can send on the gifts.
Thank you to each and every one of my readers and commenters whose support keeps me engaged in this wonderful world of writing family history aka blogging. I’m only sorry I can’t give you all a little gift.
Family history across the seas 
Thank you Pauleen. My iPad will be the height of fashion while on the 3rd Unlock the Past cruise which is approaching very quickly! Where did 2012 go? Roll on 2013!

Pauleen, I’m thrilled! And the small purse is perfect for me because I don’t have an ipad or ipod! Looking forward to starting the new year with a new purse!

Excellent Kristin, luck turned out well given the absence of ipad 🙂 I’ll be sending it in the next day or two. Don’t know where your comment got to in my comments dashboard…yours and Joan are in hiding, hence the delayed response..
