Before getting to the “good” stuff, I’d just like to thank everyone who visited my blog, left comments both effusive and terse, and especially thanks to those who signed up for my feed, FriendConnect, or email subscription. It’s been a wonderful experience again (this is my second year participating) and I’ve found several blogs I’ll be visiting again and hopefully made some new online friends along the way.

I also want to thank Lisa Swifka for her tireless effort in hosting this blog event and organizing all the details, not to mention how she visited every participant herself.

Onto the giveaway–

Had a terrific Saturday score (on top of a really wonderful field trip with some friends to a printmaking studio that I’ll share about in another post). Mom went to a local flea market here and found a bag full of watches–mostly vintage and some of them quite nice. Whole bag for a great price. Just the time I spent sorting through them and googling the maker names provided me enough entertainment to make them worth the cost. I even found an old Timex in the bag that worked when I wound it up. Not that it’ll continue to do so–they don’t seem to function as well when they’ve been taken apart, gutted and used in Steampunk projects. Although I will say that I have a goal of making at least one book with functioning and interactive mechanics on it.
