Need a Calendar?

November 3, 2022 at 8:27 am by Claudia

Confession: Remember those extra Mary Stewart books I was going to give away? I never followed through because I spilled coffee one morning and they were in the line of fire. No one asked about them here in the comments, so I assume you forgot about the giveaway. But in the interest of transparency, I’ve ‘fessed up.

I bring this up because today I am announcing another giveaway. This one is due to the kindness of reader Elaine, who lives in Toronto, Canada. She approached me about it and I thought it was a great idea. Elaine mistakenly ordered two Susan Branch 2023 wall calendars instead of one. She sent the extra calendar to me, thinking that a giveaway would be fun.

I think she’s right!

So, if you’re interested in your own copy of Susan’s newest calendar, leave a comment on this post and this post only. Only comments will be counted, so don’t email me telling me you want to be entered. I will not answer the comments because it mucks up my comment count. When the deadline has passed, I will enter all the comments in the Random Number Generator and I’ll pick a winner.

Let’s see…today is Thursday, so I’m going to make the deadline Monday evening. That gives you 5 days in which to leave your comment. Good luck, everyone!

Stay safe.

    Susan Branch is just such a positive force in this world; I love reading her blog and would love to have a calendar painted by her! Your blog is so interesting, Claudia; since I’m not a creative person I enjoy seeing it in others. Have a lovely weekend (2 years ago it was snowing so I’m thoroughly enjoying the warmer weather in Central NY).

    Well, a Susan Branch calendar would be wonderful to enter 2023 with. So thankful for this opportunity! I really enjoy seeing your dolls in all their outfits. Not sure why…except I never had a Barbie doll growing up, and missed out on the whole dress up, make believe thing. Never too late, right?

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
