Ursus {Maritimus} Major - winner

Comments are now closed and it seems I've inadvertently lost the post altogether, but luckily the comments for the Brrr! giveaway remain. Phew! We lost track of croissants consumed so I have to rely on the RNG to see who of the 136 commenters will have some sweet fabric to play with. The winner is #107, and I have to publish this so that I can see the comments again and see who that is. Our trio is going well. Both kids have been through a mild stomach flu and are back on track now. I've got a Flickr set called Paris 2012 if you'd like to see some travel pix just click on my Flickr sidebar button, then click on the set. A bientot, mes amis.

  10. my comment didn't appear - if this doubles up, just delete it. Love the quilt, love the fabric, you're going to consume at least 28 croissants in the first week. Can't wait to see and hear all about your trip!

  13. Well, a familly of 4, 7 breakfasts, 2 croissants= 56 but with the warm weather that we are enjoying right now you can easily find yourself front of a boulangerie in the afternoon for gouter, the 4 o'clock snack, and have a croissant/pain au chocolat so that's 28 more= 86 for a week witch is nearly insane ;) but so good!
    Hope you enjoy your stay

  60. Missing you!
    And croissants sound goooooood.
    I've actually heard all the food in France is pretty good, though I'm not overly eager to try escargot any time soon.

    Hope you're all having fun!
    And I don't need the fabric, even if I like it, so pick someone else. :) But I can't resist leaving a comment.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Well, I certainly hope you and your family have big appetites - big enough to consume 80 croissants!!! Haha. Or maybe you'll get tired of croissants and move on to crepes (the ones with Nutella are amazing).

    Such a cute quilt. Such cute fabric. Please let me win - maybe it will bring me out of my unbelievable slump.

    Happy Travels!
