Guess what? Everybody wins!

I couldn’t bring myself to choose 1 person to give my sample Pretzel M&Ms too, so guess what? Everybody wins! I’m feeling generous today. So if you are and of these people: Andi, Wes A. Wiens, Anna, Dianne, Cynthia, Kelaine, Leah, Stacey, or Bonny, send me your snail mail address and I’ll send you a package of M&Ms and a Carol Browne original, one-of-a-kind-photo card. I’m already feeling kinda Halloween-ish. Let that be a clue to the winners!

Also, be sure NEVER to enter any give-aways on Stacey’s blog. Please read her comment on the previous post to understand this warning. No one wants one of THOSE arriving in their mail box. Yeesh.

In other news, I have 2 more Niagara Falls photos for you. Yes. It seems I’m going to be dragging this out until the end of time. But the following photo is PROOF that Mike and I (despite my very flat hair) were at the most romantic place on earth together, along with my cousins and their kids and some aunts and an uncle and my mom and my sister and my grandma. See? Romantic!

Photo by my Mom, AKA, Mrs. C or Aunt Audrey.

Thanks for taking this photo, Mom!

Through the mist and across the way, we could see the United States.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Before I announce the WINNERS, I wanted to show you some lovely lanterns I took photos of in Chinatown today:

I went into Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s Garden today for a sneak peak of what’s happening for Chinese New Year. They have a few decorations up and a shrine, but I think they are just getting started because the day is still about 10 days away. The big parade is on February 14th and Bec will be marching in the parade! I know! Bec marching in the Chinese New Year Parade? I will be there bright and early on the morning of the big day to record the moment.

Guess what? I just happen to have 2 pairs of mitts to give away today. So, I used THIS random generator (thanks random.org!) to sort out the copious amounts of comments. Er. Well. Okay. There were 9 comments, so your chances of winning are very good.

Without further ado, here is winner number 1:

What do you know? #4 commenter is in need of mittens in Nova Scotia. Michelle, your hands will be warm very soon. Just hang on!

And the second pair of mitts go to….drumroll please…..

Kelaine, who resides in the wintery prairies of Alberta! Brrr…

Way to go, guys! Your new mitts will  be in your hot little hands in the very near future. I’ll put them in the mail tomorrow.

I think I just may have a couple more little giveaways over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned.

And let me be the first to say I am very saddened that we won’t have photos of a very pregnant Stacey in a bikini wearing the red gloves in California – preferably in Disneyland. Darned randomness. It can be a fun stealer sometimes.
