I just discovered the "hold" feature at the library. This glorious service is perfect for bookworms. Did you know you can actually search the catalogue on-line and reserve your 18 books and the library staff will pull them all and pile them up on a shelf with little paper booksmarks that say "hold for Mary MacAskill?" And to top it all off, they actually phone you when everything is ready. Combine this with goodreads and it's a little bit of bliss on a Tuesday. Ahhhh, the wonders of modern technology never cease to amaze.
So as you may have guessed, I have a few books to read, and therefore, I will keep this short. Another piece of my AC DT submission. The card:
Everything is AC except the stickpin (Making Memories) and the die-cut (Provo Craft's Graphically Speaking cartridge).
Have a good night. I'm off to read a few chapters....

i love the hold feature!!! I realized down here though when you order them they come in a LOT faster than in Calgary... so I now have every hold that I ordered (which was 13) to read..... whoops. hahahaha (And I've been reading lots of your goodread books, so keep posting them! :) )
Love the card. I love all the stuff you with your cool tools like the Cricut. Makes me want one too!

Oh, Mary! If I didn't know you didn't know about the hold feature I would have told you long ago. It is wonderful : ) My library sends me an email instead of calling, though.
As always, you make the most beautiful things!

OMG!!! I live for the "hold" feature at the library! Lots of times i will surf Amazon simultaneously, so that you can search for new releases and get on the hold lists before they get into the hundreds....helpful if you are dying for the latest release in a series....sigh, I am a book nerd...

I think your card is FABULOUS!! I'm looking for some good books to read--whatcha reading??

I love perusing the list of books on your goodreads list! How do you find all of your selections? They are very diverse, so I am assuming you have multiple sources to find new reading material?
Thanks!

I will just go off for a second and say I'm terribly sad that you're not on the AC DT this year. :( Ok enough sadness. You amaze me and inspire me and keep it coming!!
