A Prize, A Good Deed and Cranberries ...

Today I am very excited to have written a guest post for the blog, 2 Just B You.  

I recently won the 100th Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop Giveaway! My prize included a free copy of Carrie Groneman's book, A Mother's Shadow and free advertising for my blog on three other websites that I really admire: 

• 2 Just Be You 

• Ducks 'n a Row 

• Confessions of a Mommyaholic. 

Then, making this prize even sweeter, Kim invited me to write a guest post for her blog today!

Have you ever noticed that when you do a good deed, you often benefit as well?  I tell a story on Kim's blog today that is a perfect example of this.  And, it includes one of my favorite holiday recipes - perfect for snacking or giving away!

I hope you will pay a visit to 2 Just B You to read my post about Sugared Cranberries and explore Kim's delightful blog while you are there.

Also, I have been participating in the December Instagram Challenge: #Instaalbum2014 - “Celebrating the holiday season one photo at a time.”  Follow me on Instagram to see the photos I am posting there.

Also, remember to visit this blog on December 15th, and enter the giveaway sweepstake I am hosting that day. (Find out more by clicking on the link in my sidebar.)

Happy weekend!
