The winner of my “Lost Ocean, Magic Happens” giveaway is: A.Rose, who said:
“Winter is my time to cozy into my heavy homemade blankets and closer to my husband and children! My favorite pastime is crocheting, catching up on cross-stitching, and sharing hot chocolate that we made on our wood cookstove with my family.”

And the original post for the GIVEAWAY was (thank you to the 111 women who shared their favorite winter pastimes!):
In the Dec/Jan issue of MaryJanesFarm, “Magic Happens” (on newsstands Nov. 10), I led you here to my daily journal for a chance to win the beautiful coloring book, Lost Ocean: An Inky Adventure & Coloring Book, that appears on the back cover.
Written and illustrated by Johanna Basford, creator of Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest, Lost Ocean invites kids and adults alike to discover an enchanting underwater world hidden in the depths of the sea. Through intricate pen and ink illustrations to complete, color, and embellish, readers will meet shoals of exotic fish, curious octopuses, and delicately penned seahorses; visit coral reefs and barnacle-studded shipwrecks; and discover intricate shells and pirate treasure.
For a chance to win Johanna’s book, tell me what your favorite indoor winter pastime is in the comments below by Dec. 1. I’ll toss your name into a hat and draw a lucky winner the second week of December. Stay tuned for more magazine-related giveaways!

Rosie, congratulations!! Just in time for lots of Winter coloring with a cup of hot tea and a cozy rainy day.
Favorite indoor winter past time.. is baking for the Holiday’s. The aroma it brings seems to set the atmosphere for family, friends, and neighbors. During this time volunteering to help others always seems to bring smiles.
Curling up inside my electric blanket and listening to audio books OR going through magazines (Your MaryJanesFarm was a Christmas Gift to me this year) and checking off all the ideas in it I plan to implement into my own life…(once the weather favors the projects enough that my dreams derived from them really can come true!) Thank you for the memories and the motivations found within the pages of your magazine!
