A giftie from Diana!
Look at what Diana Gabaldon sent me!
This is one of the new OUTLANDER book charms from The Author's Attic. Diana doesn't have any financial connection to the Author's Attic site, as far as I know, but she obviously likes these book charms very much! Kudos to Michelle Moore for a wonderful idea. <g>
You can see more information about these book charms, including pictures and ordering information, here.
The book charm is attached to a lovely silver chain, so I can wear it as a necklace. Isn't it pretty?
Here's the card that came with it. In case you can't make out Diana's handwriting, the card reads,
The "other holiday" is a reference to the fact that I'm Jewish. And one advantage of being Jewish at Christmastime is that I don't feel any particular obligation to wait until December 25th to open gifts that arrive in the mail a few days early!
I was deeply moved by what she wrote on this card. No, that's not quite accurate. I had tears in my eyes when I saw she'd signed it "Love, Diana". Wow.
As many of you know, Diana Gabaldon is not only an amazingly gifted writer, but a generous and caring person, and I'm honored and delighted that she considers me a friend.
Thank you so much, Diana!!

But then, so are you, Karen!
Hope your Hannukah celebration was good, and may the new year bring you much joy and peace!
