Advent calendar give away!

Go over and look what they are giving away over at Amoretti! It's an advent calendar from the shop at the Bodleian Library at Oxford.

No Santas, no snowmen for me.
I'll choose an advent calendar or a nativity scene every time. :-)

Double Dog Dare

It's easy-peasey!  Much easier than sticking your tongue to a frozen post!

Border's summer reading challenge for kids 12 and under, the Double-Dog Dare, offers a free book when  you read 10.

I wish they had summer reading challenges for adults...
(as long as it didn't involve War & Peace, ahem...)

Go here for more info!

More coffee!

Look! Now I have a GiveAway! (except that I'm not really giving ANYTHING away...) The good folks at Dunkin Donuts want to give us coffee! There are NO Dunkin Donuts in the otherwise great state that I live in, but they will send me coffee, nonetheless.

If only they could send me a chocolate cream filled donut, too...

Enjoy!

Coffee, Toffee, Ready for Safari

Coffee.

Toffee.

Ready for safari.

It's a GiveAway at Amoretti!
