Winning.

I am stuffed to the gills with Thanksgiving dinners. Yes, plural. I was a glutton for pumpkin-ment/punishment, only it was pretty much a mountain of mashed potatoes and gravy, and various side dishes, including my boyfriend's nearly world famous green bean casserole. Oh, and I've learned that CIDER is what the pilgrims probably drank on Thanksgiving, so that too, became my bevvy of choice. ALL DAY LONG. I had quite a fun day- sans family drama, just me and the boyfriend, squirreled up in our nest watching a marathon run of House of Cards. Eating, lounging and laughing make for quite a good time. Hope your T-day was a good one, too. 

Sooo, whilst I had planned a post featuring a full-length pic of me in my glorious new Shabby Apple dress, uh, I didn't get around to it, and today am feeling so um...round, that I'm not sure this little glutton is up to an outfit post. My bad. I'm now a swollen pilgrim and feeling lazy- so this hastily pasted collage of my face over the model in her Shabby Apple dress will have to suffice.  Let's move on shall we?

I am so happy to announce the winner of the Shabby Apple give-away- drum roll please....

Are you ready? 
The winner for the Shabby Apple $100 Gift certificate is: Alicia Searcy, aka the Spashionista.
