I'm preparing this post on Tuesday and we're in for a blizzard tomorrow - 1 to 1-1/2 feet (30 - 45 cm) of snow! I'm all settled in - got my cocoa and mini marshmallows, Teen and I are making brownies tonight, and loads of craft materials at my beckon and call. It's gonna be a great day! (so long as we don't lose our power!)
I had a wonderful phone chat with Melody of Brown Gingham Creations this afternoon. She called to see if everything was okay because she didn't see my Rednesday post up yet - she thought today was Wednesday! :) So, of course, we talked about everything under the sun!
I'm loving the birds at my feeders - this male cardinal, the blue jays, juncos ("snow bird"), titmice, chickadees, etc.
And now . . . I can't wait any longer . . . announcing . . . my
(bird graphic courtesy of Just Bee 'n Me!)I just noticed the other day that I have over 400 followers, and this is my 444 post! What a milestone! So, of course, following blog tradition, I'm going to have a giveaway - a very, cherry giveaway!
The winner gets a cherry paper fan, cherry recipe cards, cherry sticky notes, clear stamps of fruit (one's cherries), a plastic 7" (17 cm) cherry jar, and a yard (91 cm) of ribbon that I picked up today that has happy hearts on it ~ just in time for your Valentine crafts!
Just leave a comment on this post - I will draw the winner's name on Saturday the 15th. That will give all the Rednesday readers plenty of time to see this and enter. (Cheese Boy - does Cheese Girl like cherries?)
Now, let's get this Rednesday party started!

Isn't that red, 1940s bathrobe the same one Rosemary Clooney wore in "White Christmas?" I was JUST thinking about that robe this morning and wishing I had one. Where do you get one????

Would be perfect in my cherry kitchen. How sweet.

Hi Sue,
I hope that your power does not go out! Did you fill up your bathtub, just in case? You can use that water to flush your toilets, if worse comes to worse.
You have been working so hard on your blog, and it is wonderful. Thanks for letting me be part of Rednesday.
Stay warm!
Kathy
