Discovering a parallel universe!

While gradually discovering the card making world, I discovered a whole huge parallel universe: blog candy and giveaways, challenge and contest blogs. I would never have guessed that these things were existing!! I've been blown away when I made my first steps into this universe. And this happened here, in Sri Lanka. I was really surprised at first that someone could give away so many things... for free, without asking anything else than leaving a comment or becoming a follower of a blog! I come from a world (the ATCs world) where we made swaps and I found it already great. But now, I still can't believe it!

I tried my luck for the frst time on Michelle's blog - discovered by chance while wandering on the net, or maybe it was via the Hero Arts Flickr pool, I don't remember very well - and to my big surprise my name was drawn! Again, I couldn't believe it as I seldom win something. And what a prize! I borrow this picture from Michelle's blog to show you what I won (hope you don't mind, Michelle!):
Michelle's giveway - June 2010
This really was Christmas in June!!
The day I received the "tiny package" Michelle sent to me ("tiny", that's what she told me!), I saw a huge parcel in my mailbox, filled with treasures and extras to the extras! Sri Lanka's tea is the best! ;-)

So again, a huge thank you, Michelle! I'm happy to have met you in this virtual world, not because of the presents you sent me but because you're such a nice person. And I mean it. :-)

En découvrant le monde de la "carterie", j'ai découvert en même temps tout un monde parallèle que je ne soupçonnais pas : celui des "blog candy" ou "giveaway", que je traduirais par "cadeaux" ou "dons spontanés". Franchement, je n'aurais jamais pensé que cela pouvait exister. Dans le monde des ATCs, nous faisons des échanges, ce qui était déjà génial. Mais là, c'est assez incroyable ! Mes premiers pas m'ont menée ici, au Sri Lanka.

J'ai tenté ma chance pour la première fois sur le blog de Michelle, découvert au hasard de mes surfs sur le net (qui peuvent m'emmener très loin !), et à ma grande surprise, mon nom a été tiré au sort (ce qui m'arrive généralement rarement). J'ai eu du mal à le croire !! Et quel cadeau ! C'était  vraiment Noël.
Le jour où je reçu le "minuscule" paquet que Michelle m'a envoyé, j'ai vu un gros colis qui tenait à peine dans ma boite aux lettres, rempli de trésors et d'extras ! Le thé du Sri Lanka est le meilleur ;-)
Alors Michelle, encore un grand merci ! Je suis vraiment contente de t'avoir rencontrée dans ce monde virtuel, et pas simplement à cause de ce super cadeau mais surtout parce que tu es vraiment une chouette personne. Voilà, c'est dit ! :-)
