Whoever bought their textbooks. . .

. . . through my Amazon link -- THANK YOU!  And to everyone who has ever bought anything through my amazon link, or clicked through on any of the ads on my sites -- THANK YOU!

Right now I'm somewhat broke, so the credit I get at Amazon keeps me in books  :)  See, we bought a house a year ago.  A beautiful, wonderful, old house that need some work.  And in the last year that we've owned it, we have been spending money like there is no tomorrow (on painting, and bathroom repairs, and tree trimming and landscaping and now roofing and . . . you get the idea).  But we love the house and plan on being here forever, so it's okay.

So today I was browsing for books at my library -- they have a lovely online search that includes many area libraries.  While I do this, I usually do a side by side search on Amazon -- Amazon has more pictures and info than the library's website.  And what should I see -- Denyse Schmidt Quilting Kit -- a new book from Denyse Schmidt due out in April 2006.  Now, it says it's a paperback, but who knows what it will actually be?  I'm intrigued.

So, I went to Chronicle Books website, the publisher of Schmidt's book, and I didn't find any further info.  But man!  They sure do have some cool books!

So anyway, that was my meandering path on the web this morning.  Now I'm off to assemble more patterns!

Don't you just love libraries? Well, I do. I especially love that they will steal books from other libraries just for you!

I've been wanting to ask how you got those links from Amazon that lets people buy through your recommendations and you get a small bit for sending them Amazon's way. I've looked all around their site, and I haven't been able to find it.

TIA for any help you can offer.
