Love the s...So much to celebrate this week, Holly! Love the stack of books - I, too, am excited about A Snicker of Magic! Love the clicky heels story! I didn't know they were making a movie about The Giver - not sure how they will capture all that power in 2 hours but we'll see! I am a knitter - and used to knit sweaters for my boyfriends. My mom called it the "knitting curse" - because I'd get halfway through the sweater and we'd break up! After many years, and a basement full of half knit sweaters (actually I think there were only 3!), I met the man who would become my husband. My mom's advice: DO NOT knit him a sweater! I didn't - and we just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary!
