For anyone who knew us, personally, since 2002: Our son grew up, married, and has two child…
The pencils came in today and are awesome! I'm getting excited for Halloween. (Early, I know.) The "seconds" pencils were the same great quality, and I don't know what was wrong with them. They were 144 colorfully wr…
They're based in Missouri. The pencils are superior - more sturdy, better quality, well-printed. I've bought from them for several years now, not only BookCrossing pencils, but cast gifts for plays we've directed.

My daughter used to work as a teacher in a childhood education program. They were low on pencils, so I sent a box of my yellow BookCrossing.com pencils to them - about a hundred. A few months ago, daughter got a new jo…

The annual spoil-the-neighborhood-kids event.
I hadn't considered that but you're right. Hmm... might have to choose my packets carefully.
It's too bad there isn't a "like button" for these posts. There are so many I like in this thread!

RE: jmsmom and 4libros : Thanks!
You're welcome, Collin, and thank you for the Easter blessing. I hope yours was beautiful and special, too. I'm working on a small project right now, which is taking most of my books. After that, that email you sent m…
who asked me why I give away books. She had heard of BookCrossing and even knew our world library goal, but wanted to know what I got out of doing this occasionally expensive hobby, what would cause me to give away trea…

Thank you, both.
