Nothing major, but I already love looking back on it. The first year I bought the book our new puppy chewed the end of it up. I was so mad b/c I hadn't even written in it yet, but now every year when I pull it out I realize that it just gave the book that much more character.<BR/>xo,<BR/>Steph<BR/>www.stephaniehale.comstephhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836703686468306571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1166388860152373402006-12-17T12:54:00.000-08:002006-12-17T12:54:00.000-08:00First off, I have to thank Tina for her wonderful ...First off, I have to thank Tina for her wonderful praise regarding my stories. I did love writing them. And if not for Tina, I would never have known of this market for short stories. <BR/><BR/>As this moment, I'm setting my table for our Hanukah dinner. Yesterday, my mom and I fried up over 100 laktes. And soon my house house will be filled with smells of briskett and family and friends.<BR/><BR/>Happy Hanukah to everyone who celebrates this holiday.<BR/><BR/>Janie<BR/>PS Next week, we celebrate Xmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1166383142406362062006-12-17T11:19:00.000-08:002006-12-17T11:19:00.000-08:00I have a wonderful writer friend named Janie Emaus...I have a wonderful writer friend named Janie Emaus (who regularly comments here on our blog). Janie is Jewish, and when I heard last year that True Confession magazine was looking for a story about Hanukkah, I asked her if she’d be interested. She was, and wrote one up that was not only romantic and touching, but rich in tradition. <BR/><BR/>This year, she stepped up with another Hanukkah story (which hits newsstands this week, in the January issue of True Confessions) that focuses on keeping up faith and traditions during times of change. <BR/><BR/>I’m hoping Janie continues to be their annual “Hanukkah contributor” so that I can continue reading her terrific stories and learning about the history and traditions of Hannukah.<BR/><BR/>Tina<BR/><BR/>www.tinaferraro.comTinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.com
