I’ve not done a DKL competition for a while so I thought this might be a good time to do one. I’ve got 2 mic.o.mic sailing boats to give away (two prizes of one boat each) so I thought I would whip up a quick rafflecopter comp for you again. Nice and easy but as usual it will help us to get some exposure for our lovely toy shop (the one that means we get to eat, craft, have broadband 
) and all your help will be much appreciated. I’m making lots of entry options so getting to 500 entries should be a breeze because……
… once we get to 500 entries on Rafflecopter, I’ll add an extra prize from the mic.o.mic range for every additional 100 entries. These will be picked via the comments section using And the Winner is…
You can read some recent mic.o.mic blogger reviews at the DKL Talk about Toys blog.
(Seem to have a technical hitch with rafflecopter here – I’m on it.
What brings me back to this blog? That would be you, Merry, and your writing

Hello!
I have only come across your blog recently but really enjoy the things you write about & how well written & honest you are.
A nice easy read with some great ideas
I come back because you post about interesting things! Not sure how to be more specific really! Generally I only read craft blogs, but I found your blog somehow a while ago and always read the new posts that I get emailed
Waves hiiiiiii
Your friendly face and the craft ideas
The writing, the family – and you! ;o)
You bring me back here, I am usually no good with names but yours is one I seem to remember easily, you have a lovely blog too x
Have read a couple of your posts asps they are always very honest, touching and well written. I can tell you write from the heart.
what brings me back? Well your ability to write honestly and emotionally, in a way that takes me straight to the heart of the matter, at the same time you can write in the lightest of ways about everyday ‘normal’ family life.
And, I admit it, the toys!
I like your writing style and I am also curious about home schooling, I think you have educated me and undone some of the misconceptions that I had regarding hs.
I love your writing, always from the heart x
What brings me back to your blog, you, your children, your writing, your stories! The whole bleeding lot! xxx
Because you are just lovely and I’m glad to get to know you, I come back.
This is a lovely boat. I’m sure our wee girl would love it (and so would her mummies! )
