Ok, so I’m still not feeling well and too tired to even “work” in my studio, so I thought it would be fun to do a little shopping. But I thought this would be a fun way to shop without saving money! Chronicle books has a sweepstakes such that if I win I will get my wishlist of up to $500 of books, one person who comments on this post will also win and they will donate $500 of books to my favorite charity! Cool, huh?!

Be sure to leave me a comment if you like my list…we could both be winners!! (Can you imagine the boxes these would come in?! You’d need a new bookshelf just for your winnings!!)  My charity of choice would be the Sauk Centre Public Library. While, yes, I should probably choose the school or library near me, I think that I’m already blessed living nearby the really great Urbandale Public Library.  Instead, I would choose to give back to the library I grew up walking to.
