Hiya!  Hope you had a great week 🙂  .. we have been deluged with SNOW.. and ICE.. and FREEZING COLD!  I am so hoping that you are warmer wherever you are 🙂

There will be NEW rules to Bellarific Friday.. We will no longer be giving a prize for “COMMENTAYTIN'” on the blog AND we will only give ONE prize of $50  to ONE winnah at the end of the month.  We will do a roundup post with all contributors and then put it in a hat and pick a winnah!  If you contribute 4 (maximum 1/week)  times, you get your name put in the hat 4 times.  Sound fair?   ANOTHER new rule is that ALL ENTRIES MUST HAVE CURRENT STAMPS that are available on the website.  So before you make your card, please go to the website and click the name in the SEARCH bar on the top right of our home page please.  Using  discontinued stamps just creates frustration as it is not available any longer 🙁

OK so let’s discuss winnahs from our last entry

Winnah for Contributin’ ($20 in bella bucks) goes to…

that’s what Tyler’s friend always says.. yo this and yo that.. even to my husband.. Yo ry! LOL.. so I thought I would add it in today YO.

Ok so I haven’t mentioned the Jan. thing yet but it seems to be happening.. and I still can’t tell.. so thought I would leave you with that teasy nugget (yo).

P.S. the soup I posted on Monday was a HIT.. finished a huge size crock pot of it in 2 nights and I have a fresh pot on tonight.  The Parm rind made SUCH an intense difference.. the taste of the soup became nutty and rich.. It was DEELISH.. and remember the story of me sneaking the rind in my purse?  Well I was in HEAVEN yesterday.. I walked into a different grocery store and THERE BEFORE MY OWN EYES were BOXES of parm rind pieces for sale!!! I grabbed two and was soooo happy I didn’t have to beg for it anymore. LOL.  So I put a few pieces in a cheesecloth, tied it up and threw it in the soup again.. (yes I’m obssessed)..

Ok blablabla.. let’s talk BIDNISS.. some WINNAHS this week!

Winnah for COMMENTAYTIN’ last week ($10 in bella bucks) goes to…
