Happy Easter!!

I won a contest!!

From the Jersey Represent forum on Ravelry, I "met" and entered in Yarny girl's blog contest.  She had gotten 2 copies of the book, The Knitting Diaries for her birthday.  I guess the original winner had never contacted her with mailing info ( seriously - the last time I had a contest on my blog, the winner never responded- why enter a contest if you aren't going to respond if you win??)  I was the alternate winner.  I was expecting just the book- but she surprised me with these cute stitchmarkers as well!  You can check out her blog - it's on the left side on my bloglist.  or her etsy shop at www.yarnygirl.etsy.com

Welcome to the April 21st edition of Thursday Thunks!

(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)

Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want.

Write about it on your blog... simple as that.

Maybe you can interpret it as a picture - we don't care!

Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post.

Don't forget to go visit the other participants' blogs.

Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks responses!

That's what all this is about after all, isn't it?

We'll have so much fun and become lifelong friends....

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of green grass and the number 576

MY LIBRARY HAS A NEW PROGRAM

When I was on the library's website putting in a request for a book, I discovered a program.  READER'S CHOICE.  You can sign up for up to 12 of your favorite authors.  When the library orders and receives a new hardcover book by one of your authors, a hold is put on the book for you.  I hadn't been reading much (well not much living author) so I actually had no idea who a large number of the authors were.  And there were categories of books I just wasn't interested in reading.  I think I signed up for 3 authors.  And then promptly forgot about it.

Saturday I got an e-mail from the library that one of my holds was available.  I took 2 books off of hold recently (Laced with Magic and the book after, which I borrowed from my friend Grace)  but I stopped at the library anyway.  The book on hold is Chasing Fire, by Nora Roberts.  So now I have to finish Laced with Magic, so I can start on this book.  I'm hoping Grace doesn't mind if her other book gets postponed for a short bit.

To be honest I guessed on 3 of the questions
