I had to change the photo, I was just too orange! Better to focus on the cupcake anyway, LOL.
Wow! I can not tell you how moved I am by the response to my contest and my survey. I am overwhelmed by all the wonderful comments you left me so this cupcake is for you! And you! And YOU!!! Thank you for making me feel loved and fabulous. I think you are all pretty fabulous too.
I am amazed that I have been able to do this blog for an entire year. It is true that I have had to disappear here and there because of my chronic health issues but I am still here baking cupcakes and making life delicious. Every day I am reminded what a gift it is to be able to spend time in my kitchen. Just this morning I woke up unable to stand on my left foot. Oh fibromyalgia, how you rule my life. Still, I will attempt to make Tomato Roasted Garlic Soup today, I will just have to do it on one foot.
Thank you all for encouraging me and giving me great advice. I will study the information and figure out where I want to go next with my blog. Every day I want to learn more about food and have new adventures. I may be lost in Nova Scotia but I travel the world through spices and recipes.
Thank you once again for cheering me on. Now it is my turn, on to the winners!
Early yesterday morning I printed out every single name of those who filled out my survey and put them into my mortar for the draw. I have since contacted all the winners by email but let’s make it official! The winners are:
President’s Choice Magic Baking Mats: 1) Sara 2) Laura (US) 3) Sherisse

Congrats to the winners! I know it’s a little late.
The picture looks great Suzie. I love pictures that are black and white except for a small focus.
Colleen says
Wow! The grab bag arrived an it is amazing! Filled with lots of goodies for me to use in the kitchen (including some new bowl scraper, now who can’t use more of those!!)
Oh, did I mention the chocolate!
Thanks so much!

Hey, I’m still excited for my grab bag…. but, unfortunately, I haven’t received it yet. I have a kind of weird address and have had trouble getting things delivered in the past… I didn’t know if you’d heard anything.

Two people have confirmed that they have received their packages, both are in Canada. If you’re in the States, it will probably take longer because of customs. I mailed them just over a week ago, I hope they get to you soon!
