Announcing the Giveaway Winner!

Sorry to keep you all waiting with bated breath!!!

Our internet is down at home, thanks to a broken modem, so I had to wait until we could come to the library this evening to plug into their service.

So here I am, sitting on a child's chair at a child's table and figuring all of this out while the children play and look for books. Not a bad arrangement.

And now- on to the part you've been waiting for...

Who is the winner of the $20.00 gift card to Amazon?

Christie!!!

Who commented,
"I have a list of children's books I want to get. With four children age four and under, some new books would be a lifesaver this winter. I love stopping by your blog. You are a great writer."

It's a pleasure to have you stop by, Christie, and I am thrilled to have you win this on behalf of you and your children! Happy reading...

And thanks to all the rest of you for joining, too! Its great to hear from some kindred spirits out there who love books as much as I do, plus have the same problem that I have of more books to read then time to read them!!!

Happy Fall to all!

    Thanks so much for the gift card. I had to many books I wanted to buy. Thanks for your reviews on children's books. I bought, If you give a mouse a cookie, Katy and the big snow, and Duck in the truck. They are big hits with my children. I also bought Flight, by Robert Burleigh and The very first Christmas by Paul L. Maier. The children are enjoying them all and I am enjoying reading some new stories. ~Christie

Tea & A Good Book Brewing- Installment 7, Footprints on the Ceiling with a Give-away!

Image
Today I am very excited to share what's brewing in my teapot:  my very first book review with a give-away !!!! Nevermind the wind that's howling and the temperature that's dropping outside! Nevermind how absolutely dreary November can be! I have the perfect solution for warming up from the inside out... Can you possibly guess what it is? Before I introduce you to the book I am reviewing, though, I want to tell you a little about the author, Dorcas Smucker, and how I made her acquaintance in the first place... A little more than a year ago, at my 30th birthday party, my Mom gave me a book called Tea and Trouble Brewing , by Dorcas Smucker. I  had never heard of this author, but I was delighted with a new book...and especially one with a really cute teapot on the cover! I enjoyed the book very much and felt that I had a new kindred spirit out there, albeit one I have never met! After all, Dorcas loves tea and feels that it is the perfect start to her morning

New Words for a New Year

I did something today that I haven't done in months. I crept into my blog and looked at the stats. In the past, this was something that I did several times a day, pushing the "refresh" button to see how many visitors had stopped by my site and from whence they came. In my past life, checking stats invigorated me, and seeing good stats or- glory be!- a comment, could spur me on to writing and publishing the next post. It shouldn't surprise me, then, that it had a similar effect on me today. I would have thought that after this long stretch of neglect, the lines showing the amount of visitors to my site would be rather flat. After all, if the author can forget about her blog, certainly the audience has forgotten it as well. But no, there they were, numbers that puzzled and surprised me. Numbers that fanned a low burning flame. It was time to get back to writing. The only problem is where to start. It has been 15 months since I last published

Noteworthy

Ever have an urge to write on a rainy Monday morning when it its high time to get school started, and the dirty laundry is giving you reproachful looks, and the beds are unmade and rumpled, and the baby is still in his pajamas even as the clock strikes 9? Me too. I have learned that if there is such a thing as a Writer's Law, it certainly includes this: a writer will always and forever have his or her most inspiring thoughts at the most inconvenient times! Indeed. Ten times out of ten, my best thoughts for writing come to me either in church, as I am walking into Wal-Mart, or when I am zipping about the house in the midst of a crazy morning when I don't even have time to finish my coffee, much less sit down and write. This is why setting aside a time every day or even every week would not work for me! Faced with a spot of time when I could actually write, I am always faced with another, darker problem: a blank head! So what is the solution? Apparently, some of the t
