MISCELLANEOUS GOODIES:

I was recently given the opportunity to review a product with BuildASign's new site, Easy Canvas Prints.  I wanted a nice item that reflects my love of reading and history combined.  I chose this image and they turned it into this gorgeous canvas print.  The size of the print is 11 x 14 and I have an easel holder that will fit it perfectly.  It will look great on top of one of my bookshelves!

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

    What a great haul. I'm always amazed by the sheer volume of your incoming books I'm going to have to see your bookcases one of these days.

    The canvas print it spectacular, I'm so jealous. I already know what print I would want.

    Have a good week kiddo!

    Great mailbox last week. I've got the Pink Carnation on my nightstand.

    Yes - what a great opportunity with the canvas!
