Kickstarter and Kindle

Now I guess Kickstarter has been around a little while, but I find this website the coolest!  You can donate to help creative people with their projects.  If they don't get the full amount, they don't get any money - so that you can be sure the money is actually going to help their project and not just get them half-way.

I just donated to the Zombie version of the Night before Christmas.  Its a poem that someone has already written but is trying to get money to get art and make it into a proper book (at the moment it is a e-book, offered here).

I also just got my birthday present in the post.  I didn't know I even got a birthday present this year, but once in a while (despite my non-stop questions regarding any gift) my husband manages to surprise even me.  So this year I got just what I wanted - a new mini-kindle  Since I am soo very excited about this new toy, this blog won't be long. Here is a picture so you can drool (and don't get near my new kindle if you are).

One final photo, which is of my first crochet project from the book First Crochet.  Its a cute bag, and I love it (going to put my kindle in it later :-)
