When I checked the mail today, I found nothing in the box, so, I went inside to post off my Christmas Cards (yes I begin my Christmas Spirit early in the year) and look for things to post off for HGG's. Anyway, there was something for me, the ladies at the post office hadn't written it up yet. So, after I paid for my things, I signed for the parcel and brought it home.
Now, I don't know what to call this one; it is a surprise to find it here. However, I don't know if it's a HGG or a Sweepstakes. So, I'll just have to say it's a great surprise it's here and add it to my Mt TBR for the next few months (well, next year!). Thank you spaceystacey for this book!
ETA: 15th, November, 2009: I received an e-mail just today from spaceystacey that the book was a prize in a Sweepstakes for Popped! Thank you again! I will have to find time to read it; seeing how many books I've received in the latter part of this year.
This is the third parcel that's arrived in my PO Box in the last week that has been a Sweepstakes prize from Bookcrossing! Wow! Thank you so much, Lauraloo29! I really appreciate this.
I've been with this wonderful booktrading and reading site, and over this time, I've never won a Sweepstakes. It's a lot of fun to find pressies and parcels in my PO Box every day. And this book looks like a good one. Now, to find the time to read it and the room in my little office to place it. This is going to be fun to catch up with my reading pile!
While I was at the post office, I also picked this parcel up; but I didn't have to sign for it. It was tightly wrapped in a recycled Australia Post bag and had a sheet of a Bookcrossing note paper taped to it as an address label! Very cool recycling technique. Once I got home and the parcel was opened, I was pleasantly surprised to pull out a pagan mystery from AmberC with a wicked postcard of an aerial shot of Cyclone Monica that almost hit Darwin in April 2006.
I took two photos of this so you can all see the photo of Cyclone Monica and then what was written on the back of the postcard. Amazing what those things look like from above isn't it? Absolutely breath-taking! Thank you AmberC for sending this great book to me. I'll add it to Mt TBR.
This is so cool! I went to the post office today because it's going to rain a lot and I didn't want to get wet. When I arrived, I collected one blue parcel collection slip and a few letters, then went inside; only to find there was another parcel on the counter I had to sign for! Cool! And this was the parcel I had to sign for.
I love all kinds of things North American Indian; and I hadn't thought of books. However, I was surprised at the gorgeous cedar berry necklace! Just look how beautifully-made it is and the colours of it! I tried it on and love it! Thank you so much Erishkigal for these I will have to get into the book (once I make a dent in my Mt TBR) and I'll wear the necklace when I go out next.
Oh! Wow! I've never gotten something from one of these before in all the years I've been with Bookcrossing! And of all days, I'm so happy I received this on in the mail! I had to send my little bird off to the vet after she threw up seed all over the place yesterday morning and I was as worried as a pet owner could get when I opened my PO Box and found the red collection slip inside. So I went into the post office and signed for the parcel to be handed a huge one! Once out in the car, I opened it and found a massive bag of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups!!! Yummo! Loey saw them and her mouth dropped. Then I said there were books and teabags... and well, you can see by the photograph that there was a lot in the parcel!
Thank you so much Shemchin for making my day! You really brightened it up! You're one-of-a-kind!
