As if I needed something else to fill my time, I have discovered PaperbackSwap.com! Most of you know that as much as I love quilting, sewing, crochet, knitting, and yard sales, I love books that much or more.
So when I heard on "The Today Show" about this website where you can swap your books (not just paperbacks) for credits to get more books, I beat a path to my computer and signed up.
I've spent part of this past week listing books to swap--and wrapping and packing books to mail. S
o far, I've had 10 requests for my books. That means, along with the 2 introductory credits I received, I've earned 12 free books--or I will have earned them as soon as the people receive my books I've mailed. So now I'll have to start searching the listed books to see what I want to read. This is TOO FUN!
I also finished the "Give Thanks" banner top and took it to Bible study last night to show Edna P. I'm making it in memory of her daughter Karen who passed away several years ago of colon cancer. Karen was a wonderful young woman with a husband and two teenagers. Her whole family misses her so.
My goal today is to get the top/batting/backing basted together for quilting. I would so like to have it quilted by Sunday, and I plan to straight-line quilt it on the machine, but still, I'm not sure I'll have it done by then. But for sure by the next Sunday.
The rain has stopped, the sun is out, we have chilly fall temperatures, and life is good. I hope it is for you as well.

What a great idea to swap books. I love reading too and have many books but I am not sure I could give them up.

This is a great idea. I loved your previous photo of the flowers in the rain.

I love to read as well. I just started a book by Ken Follet called Pillars of the Earth, about the building of a medieval cathedral. I can't put it down! He just came out with a sequel, 18 years after Pillars, and it is #1 on the charts already. I figured I had better start in with the first one, and am glad I did.
