Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. The messages made my day.
My daughter is playing in NJ this weekend so Brian and I traveled up early. We visited our Alma Mater where we met & spent a couple of days visiting places that have special meaning to us.
Volleyball games tomorrow and seeing our daughter just adds to the great bday I had.

Swaps are amazing I have so many book in my tbr and is amazing to see what my match will choose😃Thank they are amazing! The shawl has beautiful colors and so soft! ⬇️

Ahhh! Everything @Chrissy is so pretty! The light is already on my table. You have gave me beautiful lamps. I still have the pumpkin one which I use during thanksgiving. Love them❤️The books are great, Blood Moon is gorgeous and the 2026 Sabbats Almanac is great. Just a wonderful spiritual way to start the new year…soon it is a significant book for me😘The candle is so pretty that I don‘t want to use it😂But I think that I could use it….⬇️

To all my Canadian friends on Litsy Happy Thanksgiving 😊

2nd photo: love the books you chose and Babylonia edition is beautiful, look that map😍and you prepare me to read them with the pens and lovely pocket notes👌I really use them. My books are full with sticky notes and tabs, it is like I interact with my reading. A book light is always handy in this country, we can have electricity interruptions at any time🙄I track my reading in reading journals👌That candle😱smells delicious and that title😍

Picture book- The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle (1969) is a visual masterpiece. Carle‘s signature collage-style illustrations, with their bold colors and textured layers, capture children‘s imaginations and bring the story to life. The playful design—like the die-cut holes showing the caterpillar‘s path—makes reading interactive, turning each page into both art and learning.

Thank you, thank you to everyone for your wonderful cards, wishes and bookish gifts for my birthday last week! I‘m so lucky to have the coolest and most thoughtful Litsy friends.
You can see how I spent my day. 🐾 My sweet husband took me to CuppaPug where we reverted back to childhood, sat on the floor & played with about 20 adorable pug puppies for an hour! I couldn‘t stop smiling!
Thank you again, dear friends! You made my day extra special😘
