I've had quite a few say that they would like to take part in a Christmas book swap. This will be loads of fun and we must get the books in the mail by December 5th to be sure that everyone receives theirs before Christmas. So I'm going to make the deadline to sign up November 25th. This will give me time to partner everyone, gather the addresses and let everyone know who their partner is.Now for the rules. The books have to be Christmas books, either fiction or non-fiction. Christmas decor and cooking magazines are fine if your partner agrees. Talk to your partner and find out the type of books they like and then send them a book or magazine that they can enjoy. Please do not send books that are not Christmas oriented.
Please, if you sign up, be sure that you send a book. What a disappointment to sign up for a swap and receive nothing after you have done your best to send your partner a book that they will enjoy.
These are the ladies that have signed up so far:
Denise at Samaritan Women
Paula at The Magic Bookcase
Sharon at Sit With Me A While
Stacey at Staceys Treasures
Amy at I Love Retro Things
Please take a copy of the above graphic and post about it so others will be able to participate if they wish. Thanks to all the ladies who have signed up so far.
The rest of my post is not such good news. Aunt May was taken to the hospital last night. She is not able to eat, or simply won't eat, saying that she doesn't want her stomach to become upset. She is very frail. Please keep her in your prayers, that the doctors will have the wisdom to allow her to go home in peace and not force her to suffer more than she already has. ~Blessings, Mary~
I am so sorry about your aunt. My heart is with you and I will be praying for her. I know it is rough when ones we love are getting older and have such huge health issues.
ReplyDeleteWill pray your aunt has a peaceful passing. Please add me to your Christmas book swap. Would love to take part

ReplyDeleteHello dear Mary:-)
ReplyDeleteI've been so busy the last couple of days, I haven't had much time for blogging. Been going into the city to do Christmas shopping, as well as spending time with mom while Ross is in the hospital.
My prayers are with your aunt May, it's so hard to believe that she's still hanging on. Makes you realize how strong our wills can be!!

Wrapping dear aunt May in my prayers sweetie.
ReplyDeleteImpulse makes me want to join your book swap but the fact is I'm afraid I would fail to do my part and leave some kind person empty handed. It is such a fun thing that you are doing though and we'll be anxious to hear the outcome and about the fun everyone has.
ReplyDeleteYou have an email I just sent to you. I pray for your Aunt May. It must be so hard to go through this, and then for the loved ones who will be left behind. May is in my prayers and thoughts. As you and your family!
