Late night post - Picture a Day - flowers at the Huntington

I've been posting lots of pics on my Facebook page (so if you're not a fan already, you should be because I post there way more than anywhere else!), and as I'd like this new year to result in lots more blog posts for me, I'm posting this one here at 10:56pm PST...so I'm getting it in before the day's end :)....even though I know I won't post the rest of the weekend.....I'm going to St. George, Utah tomorrow morning.....it'll be my first time setting foot in the state of Utah. :) :)

Well this pic below was one I took on an excursion to the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena, CA with my bestie, Jen from Haute Whimsy, and my son.  Lots of fun things to look at there, we didn't even get to see everything!!  We'll definitely be taking a return trip there in the future. :) :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Avon giveaway winner!!

So sorry it took so long for me to pick the winner and post it...next time I'll know better than to try and end a giveaway so close to the holidays!  Not to mention my last minute trip to Las Vegas that I didn't know I was taking when I picked the end date.  I'm actually in Vegas now....but it's not a party trip....not doing much of anything actually, just enjoying some time out of town. :)

Well I'm super excited to announce the winner of my first ever giveaway!  It was lots of fun seeing all the entries come in...all 93 of them!  Not bad for my first one and for not having a ton of followers in the first place...I definitely want to do more giveaways in the future, so make sure you check back in every now and then. :)

I won't delay any longer....here we go!

The winner is, chosen by Random.org:

::drum roll::

#57!!

SamanthaD!!

Congrats SamanthaD!  I'm going to email you right now to confirm your win and find out how to send you your prize! :)

And before I go...here's a picture to share with you all....this is of my son.  I took this at the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena, CA recently.  He was sitting on the grass just looking at all the statues and all the gorgeous surroundings, and he just looked so cute sitting there peacefully, so I snapped a shot when he wasn't looking. :)

Happy New Year's everyone! :)
