My Grama's Soul

Even though it is the Holiday Season, I have not been deterred from purging and getting a little more organized. It is always such a treat to unearth small books with a great message. This particular book was found many years ago and while once again looking at it made me realize that each of us is drawn to a particular kind of writer or writing.  Personally...I want to be entertained when I read.  Character development and description is just as important as the story line.

Soon we will begin our summer progress to our little spot up North....but before we leave I wanted to have a small give-away for all my dear followers and perhaps anyone who would like to become a follower of my little spot on the internet. To begin with An Entire Year's worth of Romantic Country for the year 2011.  It is truly one of my favorite magazines and I always save all my copies as I never know when I will need a beautiful picture or two.  In case you aren't familiar with this publication....each issue is $7.99 on the newstand. Second.......this wonderful little bag....I picked up on an Alaskan cruise.  I brought home several as gifts for friends....and had an extra....so it is for you. Here is the front....and here is the inside... I really thought these bags were cute and so different.... and last.... soap and fragrance AMAZING GRACE from Philosophy.....it is my absolute favorite scent in their line. O.K.   ...

And the winner is MARY AT MOONTIDES....... Mary....please send me your address and I will get this out in the mail right away....so you are able to enjoy this during the holiday season. I wish I could have chosen all of you.....but I plan on having a few more give aways this holiday....so keep a look out. Hugs and squeezes, Jo
