winter and a winner

After a few weeks in the 70's and 80's we finally had a wintry day here in Southern California.  I was quick to take advantage of the cool down and put on a pot of the Pioneer Woman's Tortilla Soup to share with my mom who came by just to hang out with me. 



You know, we never left the house, we just sat around and visited.  Unfortunately, that's kind of rare for us.  We are usually knee deep in the activities that having a large family entails.  It was just a slow, napping kind of day, one that I will treasure for a long time.



I want to thank you all again for playing along with me this week.   I numbered all 198 comments and dropped the slips into my blue ball jar.  I had my grandson stick his little hand in and pull out one lucky number.  As you can see he drew #69 Nancy Jo.  Congratulations Nancy Jo, please send me an email with your address and I will mail off your box of goodies this week.


I have been busy working in my new studio space and hopefully, will have some pictures to share with you this week.  One thing is for sure, this will not be an overnight project but I can already tell I am going to love it in there.

Have a wonderful week.

Patty

  11. We're supposed to have heavy rain starting Wednesday. We've been wondering where our winter weather has been... It's finally coming!

    That was a fun and very generous give away. You inspired me to get a few packs of cupcake papers at Michaels last week. Take care.
