All considered I think today went pretty well. It was sunny here all day but cool. The sun is down now and it will chill out fast.

I hope you all enjoyed the excerpts and our question game. Sabrina will be picking the winners of all who got the nine answers right and will let the winners know. I’ll check back on my post about the cold and pick a winner for some piece of jewelry. Making it is my hobby and I have more than I can wear or probably sell in a zillion years so share some around! You just had to say how cold it was where you were–or nice if you were a lucky one!!

Next month we’ll get together on February 3 for the annual ‘Valentine’s Party’ and our theme will be classic love stories retold or the most romantic story each author taking part has written! Of course we all have our own ideas of what is really romantic so I bet there will be a variety and maybe a few Sleeping Beauty or Snow White or other tales retold in the modern world, a fantasy world or even a totally different world than ours! It ought to be fun anyway and we just may dream up another contest or game or something to be sure it is fun and makes you get in and take part!!

I’ve got to go start dinner but I’ll check back a few times to approve late comments. We’ll give everyone some time to get their answers posted before doing the drawing.  So keep on reading and chatting as you will, and meanwhile stay warm and happy reading.
