I LOVE THIS! AND I WON A GIVEAWAY!



First, I won a giveaway! What a way to start the new year...thank you Deb at Quilt Gal, who actually doesn't live very far away....only about an hour!
.
I received those wierd looking things for Christmas from my son and his lovely. The best salad tongs ever! I had seen them for the first time about two weeks
before Christmas and I got a pair as
a gift! What a surprise! I just love them
as they actually have a lip so as to hang
over the salad bowl.
.
I have a book to pass on. I received it last year, read it, and now it's ready to move to another home. Paulette of Sweet P Quilting, sent it to me last year. She won it and sent it to me on a giveaway.
.
It's an easy read about a quilter....what else, but the story was really sweet. So if you want it, I shall mail it, you read it and then forward it to another quilter to read...sign your name to it too in the cover.
.
We are all back to normal aren't we? The decorations of the season are almost all put away, the children are back to school, all is quiet on the home fronts in the daytime.
.
We had our last get together of family for the holiday season last night. Roast pork, apple sauce of course, company potatoes, carrots, peas and chocolate cake for dessert. Only a bit of potatoes left, that's it...no more decadent food left either.
.
They ate it all!

Thank Goodness "Merry Season" is over because I have just piled on the pounds like you wouldnt believe , not just because of over eating but because I've been so slack and sedentary too. Now it's over we can all go back to normal.

I love the look of those salad tongs.

Congratulations on your win.
