OH. My. WORD.
People donated some SERIOUSLY nice stuff for the 48 Hour Reading Challenge gifts<\/a>.
I am totally<\/i> not worthy.<\/p>\n

Thanks to THREADLESS<\/a>, we kind of have a sort of corporate sponsor thing going on with the Book Challenge – how cool is that? (I have dark plans to create my own shirt<\/a> … in my copious spare time, of course.)<\/p>\n

My sincere thanks to authors Celise Downs,<\/a> Sara Lewis Holmes<\/a> and the invincible Mo Willems<\/a>. I look forward to reading and will hang my Pigeon picture in my office.<\/p>\n

<\/a>For those of you who donated little gifts of things special to you, THANK YOU. You are all so amazingly talented! The home made jewelry from Indiana Beth<\/a>, and the coffee sleeve and journal from, Beth of Just Books<\/a> (Look at the picture! That’s not just books!), the prayer flag from Tricia – just back from China!!<\/a>, the coffee card from Nancy at Journey Woman<\/a>, and the gorgeous framed iris photograph<\/a> and quote from A Wrung Sponge just made my day. My paper bracelets from MotherReader<\/a>, my amphibious cell phone holder, the stickers and tea and pencils and bookmark and purse charms — all a little like finding an unexpected gift from a secret pal you didn’t know you had. Seriously: if you knew what kind of day today has been, you would understand why I’m going on and on like this is the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

My forty-five seconds are up. But you know I’d do a Sally Fields and weep all over you if you were here. I really appreciate the spot of fun today. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
