through this whole Wild Things craze I have been standing proud with my love of In The Night Kitchen! I would love to have a copy, since mine was sold in a tag sale against my will!
Would love a chance to win this prize! I just recently found your blog and truly enjoy it. I actually gave a little shout out this morning in my most recent post to this blog before you posted this giveaway. Check it out at: http://ab-musings.blogspot.com/2009/10/blogs-i-like.html. Regardless of who the winner is, I will continue to read your posts. A truly original idea and I'm glad to have found it!
