News Alert!!!!!

I have a bittersweet announcement to make.
After many long hours of thought, I have come to a very difficult decision concerning DaBookLady's Swap......I wanted to let everyone know how much I have enjoyed swapping and running this swap, but as the saying gooes, "all good things do come to end sooner or later".....with that said......


December will be the last month for swapping here until ???????????....

DabookLady is taking a long needed rest from swapping starting January 2009.

It does not mean that the swap will not open up again at a later date.....I just need to take some time off from it. So..... if you want to swap in December go ahead and comment here and I will start a partner's list for the last month of swapping at DabookLady's Book Swap...


When DaBookLady starts the swap up again you will all be notified by email to see if you are interested in rejoining the swap... [be sure I have your correct emails]


This was a hard decision to make, as I have very much enjoyed knowing each and everyone of you. Even if just in the "blogosphere." Thank you, for all your friendship and support. ...online friends are the best and I hope that you will still visit my blogs and keep in contact with me.....

I received a nice package from Patricia, my bookswapper for October. It included 2 books, two sets of napkins, a bag of candy corn and a nice candle that has a gingerbread scent. I am anxious to light it because it smells so good.

Hello All Swappers

2 New Swappers for the Sept Swap

Welcome to Reina D and Patricia Anne

A little about Reina: "She LOVES to read.
She has read the majority of her favorite authors, and is finding new authors by default. She loves dean koontz and has read the majority of his books. the same goes for stephen king. She hasn't read many of the new books, last 3 years or so. the only kind of books she just really hasn't gotten "in to" are romance novels, the bodice rippers. her mom loaned her a book by judith krantz, and she was in a state of depression for a week. other than scrapbooking she has yet to find a craft that she doesn't adore, and maybe if she tried harder at scrapbooking she would like it better. she has 2 beautiful little girls. one is 2 1/2 and the other will be 9 in november. Her hubby and her will celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss in december."

A little about Patricia Anne: "She is 25 years old. has been married for three years. She has a stepson who is 9 years old along with her own 2 year old little boy, and a three month old set of twin girls. She teaches Theatre Arts to 7-12 graders. she has participated in one apron swap and has joined the crochet swapblog. She loves arts and crafts things, but regrettably she is just now learning to sew, crochet, etc... she has been working on crocheting for awhile now, but she hates everything she has done so she always unravel my work. She LOVES to read, scrap book, (try to) draw, (try to) cook, make lanyards, and work on latch hooks. She is also a huge fan of learning so anything anyone can teach her in the crafts area would be wonderful."
