Gifts!

Oh yes, I did want to mention that I also got a cool poster from Christopher Hopper (limited edition no less!) that is now settled happily under the plastic protector of my writing desk! Now when I'm there writing, I can look down and remember to pray for him and his lovely wife and the work of their hands. They left some of their CD's too for staff to listen to and for the music buyer to hear, I'd love to carry their CD's but that's his call.

Sharon gave me a "Becky Miller" Survivor pack, a.k.a. devotion in a bag, which I have yet to get into but I'm looking foreword to pulling apart and seeing just how paper clips and candy fit into the devotion!

Wayne wrote some lovely things in my books, they all did really but he always encourages me ''back'' as it were. I love having the gift of encouragement, it's how I got the handle when I was in Ireland for a summer as a missionary of "Lady Barnabus", but the down side is that I often find it easier to encourage others and believe in them than I do myself. So, I treasure the encouragement I get from others.

Bryan Davis had lovely posters with him, they are so crisp and clean and the art is from his books (art which by the way as far as I can tell is actually created FOR the books rather than being photo collaged together) and he graciously signed some so each store can hang them up and remember the event! That'll go up beside the signed poster from Skillet in the break room thank you very much. I'll get frames for em if I can find some to fit.

So not only did I have my copies of the author's books signed, I got so many really neat things from them as well! An embarrassment of riches!
