Blog book giveaway:

My Monday book giveaway is PINK by Marilynn Griffith.
My Thursday book giveaway is THE PREACHER’S DAUGHER by Lyn Cote
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Monday, I'll draw the winner for PINK and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.

No Camy: Not blogging today. I'm doing work. Have fun talking about me behind my back.

Snickers is cute when she's sleeping. Too bad she's such a butthead when she's awake.

Well, I haven't been blogging for most of the week either. Lost a Word file on Monday (I know I saved it but didn't put it in any particular folder--that'll teach me) but I was pretty well out of my head with pain in my right arm from fingertips to back.

Then I tried to install my new printer which also turned out to be a disaster with me hanging on the phone to the techs for over 3 hours in all and still not being able to use all the functions, especially the one I need most: scanning. So I've mainly been trying to get rid of the pain since then. As soon as I type too much, it flares up badly again. The document was about 15 pages long. I do *not* fancy retyping it all.

Anyone with any ideas on how to track this is welcome to have their say. I've looked up all the *.doc files, and the beginning of the name of the document followed by *. One of my brothers suggested I try *.doc* in case it's doc1 or whatever. I haven't had the heart to do that yet. I hate to face the fact that I just might have to do it all again. At the moment, uncertainty is bliss.

With a few twists, the word verification could be the German word for "onion".

You're right she is very cute. How old is she? Any hope she'll improve on being a "butthead"? But even at that you love her, right?

Hope your writings going very well.

Hope your *writing's* going very well.

I've really been writing a lot of gibberish lately--"noggle" instead of "nodded"? Maybe my mind is finally going completely on me.

Oh, I got Marta's books on Thursday. I'm having trouble getting her site in order to thank her. I'll try again in a minute.
as if we would talk behind your back??? as if!

seeing as you're one of my favorite people, likely the only thing that would be said while you aren't around is how freaking awesome you are.

Love you!
Awww, she's a cutey even when she's awake. LOL! Poor puppy...mommy's picking on you again. Go lick her, Snickers! Show her how cute you are!

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

ICRS Wednesday

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.13.2007 My plane was leaving Atlanta at 4:45 pm, so I had a few hours to kill before heading over to the airport. I went and took some pictures of the ICRS floor: Here’s the Zondervan booth: On your way down to the conference floor, you have to use four elevators going down to the exhibit hall level. Zondervan made a huge banner for the 2nd elevator, and guess who’s on it with her name even bigger than Karen Kingsbury??? Um, yeah … I kind of took a lot of pictures of MY NAME BIGGER THAN THE SIZE OF MY CAR!!! Update: My husband mentioned that the above might seem like crowing or bragging. I hope it didn't come across that way. I was just awed and excited at what Zondervan has been doing for me, a mere debut author. I feel very blessed in the publisher God has given to me. I chatted a bit with Kay Marshall Strom, who is just the nicest person. I also saw Rachelle Gardner (my macro editor), her friend Vicki Caruana, and Jenn Doucette. We had a lively co...

Excerpt - A HUNDRED YEARS OF HAPPINESS by Nicole Seitz

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.05.2009 Update: Sorry, this giveaway is closed. A Hundred Years of Happiness by Nicole Seitz A beautiful young woman. An American soldier. A war-torn country. Nearly forty years of silence. Now, two daughters search for the truth they hope will set them free and the elusive peace their parents have never found. In the South Carolina Lowcountry, a young mother named Katherine Ann is struggling to help her tempestuous father, by plunging into a world of secrets he never talks about. A fry cook named Lisa is trying desperately to reach her grieving Vietnamese mother, who has never fully adjusted to life in the States. And somewhere far away, a lost soul named Ernest is drifting, treading water, searching for what he lost on a long-ago mountain. They're all longing for connection. For the war that touched them to finally end. For their hundred years of happiness at long last to begin. From the beloved author of The Spirit of Sweetgrass...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...
