On the LEFT, all the names! This was very scary for me, because everyone who commented is a huge reader, from a family of readers. I wanted EVERYONE to win.
So I just wrote everyone's names down, and cut them out. While I was doing that, I asked Sam to write a grocery list. That's the one on the right, featuring 'AK-47, fruit, eggs, butts-err' etc. Hopefully the guard at the door won't ask to see my list.
Anyway, Max (The Birthday Boy! 9 yesterday!) Picked the winning name (and he was as nervous as I was) and TA-DAAAA!
Elizabeth YOU are the winner! Yaaaay! The Nomad Family have recently returned to the States, so they could definitely use a book to add to the chaos! Congratulations, Nomad Family! I'll pop "I Shall Wear Midnight" in the mail as soon as I have your address, and hopefully it will speed to you by air faster than a ship on the Atlantic.
Don't forget to check out my weekly post on GNM Parents, and we're making a creative mess Elsewhere. It's busy here at Chez Sheppard!
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
