Christmas Giveaway - Mini Sandcrabs, Girls

Another Christmas Giveaway down! Congratulations to Cathy Smith for winning the Sunbella parasol – I know that is going to be the perfect addition to playground supervision!

Just a reminder about how it works - It is quite simple. In the lead up to Christmas I will be posting a giveaway on Dear Melanoma’s social media, Facebook and Instagram (dear_melanoma), every few days. Each giveaway will be open for 24hrs (short and snappy) and all you have to do is answer the simple question (mentioned in each post) on either Facebook or Instagram and you will have the chance to win one of my favourite things!

Christmas Giveaway!

As a family we have an agreement that when I get sicker and things are not looking positive, we will make sure that we have a final Christmas together. I have been blessed with two Christmases that we didn’t think I would see, lets keep them coming!
