This post is to celebrate my 605 likers on Facebook! 605! Thank you so much, each and every one of you.
And so I tried to think of a giveaway prize that would thrill most of you. What would make nearly everyone I know happy..?
How about a Spotlight voucher?
I'm sure I just heard a few excited shrieks.
So, how much? How much would you like to spend at Spotlight?
Uh, let's be realistic..!
How about a $50 Spotlight voucher?
Yes?
Yay!
All you have to do is be a 'liker' of the Whimsy Farm Twine Facebook page, and answer this question for me. If I were to introduce a blue, white and red twine - what would YOU call it?
Blue, white and red - often thought of as airmail colours. I, however, think of them as Australian colours! And so I'd like this twine to have an Australian name.
How about... Kylie?
Sheila?
Shazza?
Write your suggestions below to go into the running to win a $50 Spotlight voucher. Make sure you use your name and not "Anonymous" as I need to know the winner's name!
The winner will be drawn at random on Monday, the 10th of September 2012, at 7pm AEST.
This contest is only open to Australian and New Zealand residents - sorry!
Good luck,
Angie. xx
Red Gum or Rosella (like the bird)
ReplyDeleteBlue Springs or Sky
Cloudy Days or Snow
WOW - what an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLoving your names - Kylie, Sheila (perfect I reckon using Aussie Occa) and Shazza.
Would love to see a Kath & Kym twine one day! LOL
What about Jessica - based on Jessica by Bryce Courtney, or Sigrid Thornton's role as Jessica in Man from Snowy River (my all time fav movie)
"Banjo" after Banjo Paterson... can you get more aussie than that?? lol
ReplyDeleteDame Edna. A tribute to her retirement.

ReplyDeleteHow about Tuckerbox Twines in Red Cattledog & Blue Heeler :) Karen Glover Australia
ReplyDeleteI like Alicia or Alice, meaning truthful and noble. That's what I think of when I see red white and blue ;-)
ReplyDeleteSorry - Bustyblind = Carolyn Bagini from Carolina's :)
ReplyDeleteGrace.
ReplyDeleteGrace is a beautiful name which suits a beautiful country...Australia.
"Matilda" from, of course, Waltzing Matilda - our 2nd anthem.
ReplyDelete"Jumback" or "Matilda" from song Waltzing Matilda.
ReplyDeleteJennifer
what about 'Jillaroo'
ReplyDeleteNice suggestion, Belinda! :)
DeleteTrilogy
ReplyDeleteWell I'd say Indie or Indiana :o) Indie to me makes me think of being relaxed and Aussie. It is also my little girls name but I love it as a name for the twine too. Plus those 3 colours are strong colours together and Indie represents strength :o)
ReplyDeletexx
I am thinking Tilly, as a shortened Aussie nickname for Matilda :)
ReplyDeleteSouthern Belle. The white stars on the Aust flag represent the Southern Cross.
ReplyDeleteNot so feminine names (but Aussie) that came to mind are Bluey,Howzat or Sydney.
Love the giveaway!
Patriotic twine, I know that word is mostly used in the US but we Aussie's can be patriotic too....
ReplyDeleteThe Bertie Beetle!!!
ReplyDeletened- as in ned kelly.
ReplyDeleteHehe had to delete my last comment as after a think I changed my mind...:-P
ReplyDeleteI reckon now...Cook... as in Captian... something that shows where we come from :-)
What what about Sydney, Melbourne or Melba and Adelaide.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE red, white and blue together! I think NERIDA would be just perfect as a name. It's an indigenous Australian word meaning 'water lily', and is one of few truly Australian girls' names.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Clancey? Sigrid? I do like the other suggestions too!
ReplyDeleteEdna, Alice, Matilda, Adelaide too many to choose from!
ReplyDeleteSouthern Sky, Southern Land, Or why not just Australia! Congrats x
ReplyDeleteWell done on your likers!! Such a fantastic feat!!
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is "molly" - after the loveable a county practise aussie icon, who had a flair for colours, creativity and originality just like your twine xxx
Robyn Welsh xxx
What a fabulous giveaway! My suggestion is Ozzi (as in Aussie).
ReplyDeleteLoving the suggestions. I was thinking Ozzie too. Or maybe Dazza & Shazza, Bruce & Sheila, Barbie (as in BBQ), Kookie ( kookaburra). Can't wait to see the new twine.
ReplyDeleteTrue Blue Sue? ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great colour combo :)
Thanks for the giveaway!
Kelly Casanova
Matilda or tilly for short. She'llby (she'll be right). Oi Oi Oi
ReplyDeleteAUSSIE OI! OI! OI!
ReplyDeleteWhat another great giveaway - well I would like to put a different spin on things and as I have 3 boys I would like to go down that path and the name I think is great is JACK - as in the Union Jack which is on our flag. You have alot of girls names for your fantastic twine (I have alot and use alot of them) so a boys name would be fantastic!!! Wouldn't you like a little boy to add to your collection???
ReplyDeleteI have only discovered coloured twine recently and love the idea of a tri colour twine. Putting the aussie colours together is a great idea for using twine to wrap Chrissy presents to family and friends. What about the name Cooee!!! Its neither boys or girls name just all Australian.If you are out in the bush this call has got to be the all Australian way to find someone.
ReplyDeleteWhat about star spangled?
ReplyDeleteA huge congratulations!! I so can't wait to get my twine! I love all of the suggestions on here and really love Edna and Sidney but my suggestion is Audrey after the skipping girl ...one of Australia's icons (also my daughters name)
ReplyDeleteWhat about "ridgy didge"?
ReplyDeleteBritiana
ReplyDeleteHow about Uluru, the red rock set against a blue sky with the wisp of white cloud.....just a thought :)
ReplyDeleteKatherine, Sydney, Alice (as in Alice springs), Adelaide (love the name), all lovely names of places in Australia :)
ReplyDeletehow about jumbuck?
