Surprise Package

 Yesterday Elisabeth came into the house with the mail for the day and handed me a package! I was very surprised because I knew I hadn't orded anything lately... I figured that if my mom had ordered it and didn't want me to know, she wouldn't have had it addressed to me, so I opened it. It turned out that it wasn't from my mom at all! It was a "gift" from Mission City Press! I had entered the "God is Not" essay contest at www.alof.com, and although I didn't win, we're thinking that this must be some sort of honerable mention prize... Anyway here is what was inside:  Dear Elsie. This is a book filled with questions that girls have sent in, and then "Elsie's" answer.

Now my ALOF collection consists of the Laylee Colbert book, all the Kathleen Mackenzie books,  and Dear Elsie. My favorite of them all is probably the second Kathleen book. I got the Laylee book for my birthday this year, from Elisabeth, and the Kathleen books were a gift from my parents, a few years ago.

Tomorrow we are going to a friends house with a few other homeschoolers to have a "shoebox science fair". Your experiment has to fit in a shoebox or a something smaller. I'll post about mine in a few days. Other than that, there isn't much excitement to post about... (except for on the 16th when I get braces!)

How cool! I have all of the Elsie, Millie, and Violet books, and also the Laylie book. I only have the first two Kathleen books... by the time they came out, I was a little too old for them. But the others I do love :) They're excellent books.

I love those books! I have read all of them!

Do you like your "Dear Elsie" book? I have not read that one. Have you read the Millie ones? Those are good too. The Laylie books are really new, but I have read the first two. Anyway!

Mostly because I wasn't able to think of anything to post besides tags... and I got tired of cluttering my blog with them. Also, I don't crochet that much, anymore, so I thought that the username didn't fit anymore. SInce I'm not longer, "crazy about crochet".

I think it's your turn to email, but I'm not sure... *checks sent items* hehe... it's mine. Sorry about that! I went out of town last weekend, and it kind-of thew me off. =)
