Carmen!! Congratulations! Thanks to all who left a comment – I sincerely wish I had more to give away! Stay tuned….I might have something else to win later this month 😉
And thank you to those who wrote about the new rubber. I recently had a little glitch with a new sheet and it took a while to resolve so I decided to wait until January to launch the new line. And about the Stairway class kits: I appreciate the interest, truly, and I will be working on that for early 2010.

And in books – I'm pleased to announce I am in Lynne's book (in stock now at Amazon!) and Bee's book, due in February.
And of course, I can't close without mentioning this: HIM's new single Heartkiller will be released December 8th (check itunes). You can click over to their myspace for a listen tomorrow! Album release date: 2/9/10

I almost missed it! Five minutes until Wednesday. I'm sorry I missed saying Happy Thanksgiving to all….I caught a bug. No, not that one, a different one, and it really knocked me off my feet. Still managed to have a good visit with my parents. Today's pages are about getting prepared spiritually for Christmas. Easy to think about on December first, especially as Advent just started. As the month marches on the pressure tends to build and the meaning can get blurry. Trying to maintain my perspective….putting out the Nativity set is always my first ritual.
I always try to leave at least one thing unfinished in my journal. It helps me to jump right back in when I have the chance to play again. It's a good trick, try it! *wink*

I believe in signs. I have written several times about the *signs* I have for loved ones. I love the connection between *things* and *thoughts of someone*. I love that thinking of someone can be prompted by seeing something unique and specific. That is exactly what Crusade No. 35 is about – What's Your Sign?
Slightly more complicated to explain is what I consider to be *sign transference*. Here's a great example: yesterday my friend Carrie sent me an etsy link to go look at some cute deer. She sees deer and thinks of me because she knows that deer make me think of Shannon. It's a big wide circle of thought….a ripple effect.
Ruby Tuesday pages for this week happen to work for the Crusade too. I have two very special friends *P*, and *E*, who have never met, (yet remind me of each other). Both of them claim the cardinal as the sign for their Grandmother. Because they shared that with me whenever I see a cardinal I think of them. It's all so special, because it widens the circle of thought and remembrance. Sign Transferred. Sure, may not be such a thing….but it makes sense to me *grin*
