Silver Bells Are Ringing

And we have a winner for the Dollar Daze Scavenger Hunt contest.  Player #154,  (aka) Calamity Kim, has been plucked from the bonnet!  Not only is she lucky, she's also quite clever.  When you have a few minutes for whimsy,  go read her fairytale and then take a gander at the glittery fairy slipper ornaments that she's so generously shared.  They are so cute!

For her prize, Kim chose the book FOREVER CHRISTMAS Tasha Tudor, but the other two books (shown here) are still up for grabs.  Same deal; $1 + $2.50  s/h via Paypal.  To claim a book, be the first to do so on this post and include your email address on the comment form.  It will not be displayed publicly, but I'll need it to contact you.  Don't forget to say which title you want.  (Just one book per person please.)  Update:  Both books have been claimed.

I want to thank you guys (all 214 entries!), who played my silly game.  Most of you told me it was fun.  Only a few were stumped at finding the clues that lead to the question:  Name the title of the song that has the words silver bells.  Both songs, Silver Bells and Carol of the Bells were correct.  That wasn't so bad, was it?

Well that wraps up another week.  I'll be checking out for a few days to decorate the house and put up the tree.  I also need to wrap & pack presents to be shipped.  I'll have a new quiche recipe to share when I return next week though.  Yes, it's true, I stalled out on this over the summer, but now I'm ready to pick it up again where I left off;  at M I think.    What will it be?  Morels? Mussells?  Hmm...will just have to wait and see now, won't we?  Have a great weekend!
