I rounded up some great ideas for Gifts for Gardeners at Christmas Time. There may be snow on the ground, but a gardener is always thinking and planning their gardening. At Christmas, find the perfect gift for the garden lover in your life from my suggestions.
I was thrilled to have a new purple star to add to this webpage Star Gazing…. Purple Stars on My Lenses. Squidoo certainly knows how to motivate lensmasters. Every time you turn around, there’s another honor to vie for.
I added a booklist about the various Indiana Infantry units to Abraham Bates Tower: Civil War Veteran. There are lots of genealogists or Civil War buffs out there, giving this lens some traffic. Years ago, I read Andersonville by MacKinley Kantor and was appalled at the starvation and hardships that the prisoners endured there during the Civil War. My great-great grandfather survived this infamous prison.
I found some great books that people self-published with their family letters. It inspired me to make this webpage about Saving World War Two Letters. I hope that more people will choose this way to save those fragile, fading old letters.
I made this webpage for Halloween, but I’m hoping Book Character Costumes: Go Literary for a Costume Party or for Halloween will have year round appeal. Hopefully people going to costume parties at other times during the year will want to dress as Jane Eyre, Scarlett O’Hara, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of the Three Musketeers, or Long John Silver.
Who would know better what kinds of gifts librarians would like than a retired librarian. I drew on my own personal preferences and 30 years of library experiences to select Gifts for Librarians and Book Lovers.
