Via bookseller Alison Morris’s blog, ShelfTalker:
Not only can you send free e-cards for the holidays, designed by children’s authors and illustrators Janell Cannon, Eric Carle, Ian Falconer, David Kirk, Ida Pearle, Lauren Stringer, and Debra Frasier (and Bob the Builder, too), but for each card you send E! Networks will make a contribution to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
PS I saw the following festive sign in the Wellesley Booksmith’s Christmas window display on the website:
Words to remember this holiday season, especially now, as the temperature in our little corner of the world has dipped to -33 C, with a supposed windchill of -49. We’re hunkering down, in between looking after all of the animals — cattle, chickens (who are still laying!), dog and cats — making sure they have warm places to sleep and extra calories.

These are great e-cards, Becky–thanks! Stay warm!

Eat, Sleep, Read. Now there is a program I can manage. I think.
It is warm today. Yuck. forecast high of +9C. Slush. Water. Rain. Icky. Icky. Icky. Although I could live without -38, I am a firm believer in the idea that once it is cold and there is snow on the ground, it should stay that way until March. Clearly I don’t control the weather. (And there was freezing rain yesterday right at the point where I had to get Tigger across town from choir performance back to the theatre.)
I’m glad to hear that chickens will lay in that kind of cold. I have a friend who is trying to tell me that it isn’t worth keeping chickens over the winter and that just doesn’t sound right to me.
Eek! That’s cold. I feel so very Victorian in weather like that: I might faint of horror. Clearly I would not have done well on the Little House on the Prairie set.
It’s snowy here, with more to come, and our hilly street is such an ice rink I haven’t left the house in a car for 3 days. I hate driving on ice.
