Thanks go to....

Prayer request: Please keep Teresa & her husband of A Baby Changes Everything in your prayers.  Her husband had a stroke in the last 10 days while he was travelling and she is really sick with what sounds like the Upper Respiratory Crud that's going around. I sounds like he's at the hospital where they live now but you all know how hard it is to keep going when something like this has happened - but now she's really sick on top of everything.

7 Things about Tina "The Book Lady"
1.  I work 30 hours a week at a bank customer service survey company.  I help with the production of surveys which are mailed out and then I type them up when they are returned.
2.  I have 3 blogs that I try and update 2-3 times a week.  I do reviews & giveaways on all 3 and also enter over 60 blog hops/giveaway linkies each week.  My Blogs are:
      a.  Family Literacy and You: http://familyliteracyandyou.blogspot.com
      b.  GivingNSharing: http://givingnsharing.blogspot.com
      c.  Holiday Traditions, Gifts and Recipes:  http://holidaygiftsandmore.blogspot.com
3.  I am the aunt of 12 nieces & nephews - hence #4!
4.  I own my own children's bookstore that I run on the weekends.  Based with Usborne Books & More, I also counsel parents on choosing books for their kids, do bookfairs, reading incentive programs and literacy booths.
Christmas is coming & of course birthdays are always happening - Usborne Books are The Books Kids Love to Read!  http://www.MyUsborneBooks.com
5.  I love to sew.  I don't do much of it anymore (obviously) but I used to make all my own clothes.  Lately I've been making baby quilts from flannel and fleece for my family and friends as their families are growing.  I've been making bookmarks to sell at my booths.
6.  I retaught myself crocheting this year.  It was something that I could take to booths or do while watching criminal minds on Wednesday night (now you know where I'll be in an hour & a 1/2).  I've been crocheting market bags and just finished 1/2 of a set of wristlets (the thumb has been interesting - NOT).
7.  I have fibromyalgia and if you have any friends or family that has a chronic illness please add them to your prayer journal.  Another way you can support them is by referring them to: http://www.facebook.com/fmaware where there is a wonderful support group.  Thank you.

  6. Tisha - I was amazed as I went through your blog again yesterday. You have such good content and user friendly information. One of these days, I'm going to need to go and take some time and start reading your blog.

    Melissa - we book lovers need to stick together. I'm new to the book review scene and am trying to pick a few really good reviewers to learn from. I have an author interview coming up and no idea what to ask! Should be interesting.

    Lisa - you are fitting a much needed niche. Celiac is difficult to learn about and it can be overwhelming. So, what you are doing is a blessing to them.

    Thanks!
