Commonplace Book Winner!

10 Comments

Thank you to all who entered my little giveaway. Really, I wish I had something for all of you, as your ideas were so lovely. Those of you who didn’t win, go treat yourselves to a new journal.

And the winner is Beth, who said something I will copy into my own Commonplace Book:

I’d keep calming quotes and short poems, ones with a sense of Robert Frost’s A Star (“They may choose something like a star/ To stay their minds on, and be stayed.”)


It’s a poem about perspective.

Congratulations, Beth! And thanks to Mother Reader, whose Comment Challenge introduced us to one another.

Send your mailing address to me at carolinestarr AT yahoo DOT com, and your book will be on its way.

    Congrats to Beth!

    It’s ironic you said to treat ourselves to a new journal because my Mom came to visit today and guess what she brought me? A new journal!

    And I’m sure it’s because you told us to get one that she brought it. *wink, wink*

    P.S. (Because this comment isn’t long enough)I love your new pic!

    Congrats, Beth! Lovely line from Frost. I adore blank books, but don’t have one I use solely for quotes… at least not yet. πŸ™‚
