I'm delighted to announce that Denise Morgan from Manchester, UK, is the winner of the January contest! 

Believe it or not, I actually met Denise while on holiday with my sisters in Ireland last August. My sisters and I had spent all day being typical tourists seeing sheepdog demonstrations, driving to waterfalls, and visiting the Kylemore Abby in County Galway. At dinnertime we chose a charming seaside pub, and found out they had live music that night -- and that the musician was Denise!!!

We had the best time ever listening to her sing and afterwards, chatting with her for a good 20 minutes. We met her son and exchanged contact info. I know my sisters are as happy as I am that we're able to re-connect via this little giveaway!
