So exciting! When I clicked on the post Charity Event Results and Winners at Random Ramblings, the first bit of good news I read was that donations totaled $220 dollars! Yippee! The proceeds were divvied up between two worthy organizations: Save The Children and First Books.
Now for the second bit of good news: As a thank you to donators, the hosts of the Charity Event offered seven giveaways. I never win drawings or giveaways so what a pleasant surprise to see my name listed as the winner of the $40 CSN gift certificate. What a fabulous lagniappe! Much more than a little something extra-- Thank you, Jillian, Linna, and Raila!
Now for the fun: Shopping! We love shopping here at Mrs. BG as you can read here and here. But have you seen the CSN Store website? How will I settle on one thing? And I only have until December 31 to decide!
Any Ideas?
By the way, CSN doesn't sell books, which is a shame. Maybe a bookcase, instead-- Wonder if hubby would fall for the 'I'm saving money by spending money' line again...
Welcome! Join us in a celebration of all things reading! Six friendly blatantly bookish ladies banter about any book related topic that tickles their fancy: fiction(all genres/ages), non-fiction (memoirs, fashion, food and more), Kindles, bargain books, reading nooks, bookish baubles and decor, libraries and bookstores, gifts, tea, adventures, flights of fancy and, of course, the quest for Mrs. Baja...
