Over one hundred and fifty attendees and I win the grand prize raffle! Normally I have to work my butt off to win something. Maybe I did! There was smoke coming out of my ears, my eyes were spinning around and my fingers typed on my truck's steering wheel as I drove home Sunday afternoon. New and old friends ... my characters, danced inside my head as I knew they would consume my life and come alive in a matter of hours, days or weeks.
Springmingle was inspiring to say the least. I made a grand exit carrying a twenty five pound box of books. What library will receive these treasures? The choice was simple, for me. A small independent school located in Rome, Georgia called Darlington. The lower school campus resides, in and around, the historic 1847 Thornwood house. The library is tiny but has life because of one wonderful librarian, Ann Glass. These new books and their characters will LIVE again through Mrs. Glass and the children at Darlington Lower School. No page will be unturned!
THANK YOU Southern Breeze Springmingle 2009!
And I'm still so jealous! One of the numbers they drew was 1 higher than mine. Almost had it but you're just as good. COngrats on where you donated. I would have given it to my library branch, but their budget is so tiny they never have anything new for kids unless it's a best seller or someone donates. Ah, I look forward to next year
