Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

  
I was an actual winner today, and what I won was better than any chicken dinner!

I won the most awesome blog giveaway of our long ago Pasadena pals the Reed family's Jennifer!!

She is probably one of, if not the most talented people that I have known, (and I know some, am related to quite a few of them) and she is able to share her style and magic via her blog.  Which is sooooo lucky for me because I haven't actually seen Jennifer in many many years since I left Pasadena for Thailand, then by the time we returned to settle in Orange County, they had left Pasadena for Provo, where they work magic in the theater world there, among many other things.

Jen's husband Nat (also uber-talented) was Pete's assistant Scoutmaster in our Pasadena ward, and they were quite the power duo, raising that small troop from the dead and doubling its membership.  Jen threw my twins their first birthday party, which was so sweet and fun, not long before she gave birth to their first of three daughters!

And it's one of those daughters, the lovely Christmas baby Bella, whom I have to thank for randomly picking my name and rewarding me this New Year's Eve with a bit of Fairy Magic.

I'm clapping my hands and saying "I do believe in Fairies!  I do!"

All thanks to you Jennifer.
