Okay, everybody ready for some holiday cooking and baking?
I used my Mama Pea's Fine Baking tin to hold the names for the drawing of the cook books.
Only four names entered for the drawing so each of you had a good chance.
Without further suspense . . .
The winner is Akannie. Congratulations to you! If you will send me your mailing address ("Contact" button over on my right hand side bar), I'll get these two books off to you pronto.
Now it's time for all of us to put on our aprons, get into the kitchen and do some holiday baking. Mmmm-mm, I can smell those delicious aromas already!
congrads to the winner,anything from momma peas is a collectible and not because of her young age ,going on 30 I think,because of her great stash,better lock up that tin,I heard through the grapevine ,Santa at the north pole wants it-oh you are at the north pole,well tell Santa we want snow for Christmas--please
Carolyn - No. No. No-no-no-no-no! Good grief, no! (I'm not sure I could even find my lovely new apron pattern in this mess right now!)
Leigh - I think it also has a lot to do with how content and happy you are in your life right now. And how many interests you have in learning and doing new things yet!
Erin - I've not yet done any Christmas baking. And I won't until I (or someone else) answer the question going round and round in my head: Would something awful bad terrible happen if I DIDN'T bake any Christmas goodies this year??
The grassy areas are still covered by, say, 3 inches or so. It's been pretty chilly (low teens in the early morning, 30s during the day) so it may hang around for a while.
I have not done any baking yet either and don't really want to .... or need to eat more cookies for that matter! However, even though I am a bit scroogie this year, I will need to make some cookie press butter cookies and some pizzelles just because I love them and we make them every year no matter what! Better go get started ..... (We did get a small care package of Tastykakes from a PA friend. That made me smile for sure.)
Susan - It almost seems as if you have the beginning of snow that will be with you all winter. At least you've not had another bunch dumped on you yet!
Karen L. - Yup, it will just not seem right if I don't bake SOME Christmas cookies. I'll feel like such a Scrooge if someone stops over for coffee or whatever and I don't have ANYTHING holiday-ish to set out. (Uh-oh, I'm wavering . . . )
Lori - Nope, I don't think you'd last through a winter here in northern Minnie-soda! ;o}
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.
My Occupation(s)
Home and Household Manager (Highly-Skilled Domestic Engineer)
Wife of Retired School Teacher (I Really Enjoy Having Him Home)
Mother of Grown Child (I Am So Proud of Her)
Fanatic Gardener (So Many Seeds, So Little Summer)
Passionate Quilter (I Am Obsessed)
EX-Restaurant Owner (Thank Heavens!)

judy - My chronological age may be 68 (ugh, how did that happen?) but I truly-duly FEEL like I'm in my late 30s. Denial? Nope, I really feel that way.
Santa can send some snow here for Christmas, too. Just not TOO much, please.
Congrats Akannie!
Oh, and when you say "get into those Aprons", you don't mean aprons from recently won apron patterns, do you???
Congratulations to Akannie!
I have to agree with you about age. Where did I hear it said, age is all a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Congratulations, Arkannie! Sending all our snow your way - remember - you asked for it!
Carolyn - No. No. No-no-no-no-no! Good grief, no! (I'm not sure I could even find my lovely new apron pattern in this mess right now!)

Congrats Akannie! Time for me to get baking, too!

Susan - How much snow do you still have on the ground? We are still B-A-R-E. With temps in the 30s!!
The grassy areas are still covered by, say, 3 inches or so. It's been pretty chilly (low teens in the early morning, 30s during the day) so it may hang around for a while.

Love the tin. No snow here, please. It's cold enough without it. We can't keep the fire going enough as it is now.
